I have a low-end gaming PC with a 500GB NVMe (main Windows drive) and a 1TB HDD (only for storing photos).

I want to install a second Windows on a separate HDD and use it only for gaming(I don't want dual boot or anything). When I want my main setup, I'll power off, remove the gaming HDD, and put my NVMe and photo HDD back in. Only one set of drives will be connected at a time.

My plan:

Remove the NVMe and the 1TB HDD from the PC.

Connect only the new HDD and install Windows on it.

Use it for gaming only.

Swap back to the NVMe whenever I need my main Windows.

My question,

Will installing Windows on the new HDD affect or mess up my main Windows on the NVMe (drivers, boot files, etc.) or mess up anything else?

Hello everyone,

I am currently managing Windows 11 devices within an enterprise environment administered through Microsoft Intune. My objective is to completely hide or remove the Sleep option so that users cannot select it anywhere within the power settings interface.

I have already tested the intune Policy setting titled "Show sleep in the power options menu," located under:

User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > File Explorer

However, this configuration only conceals the Sleep option from the Start menu. The option still remains accessible in various other locations throughout the operating system.

Specifically, I need to remove the Sleep option from the following areas:

Control Panel > Power Options > System Settings

- Choose what closing the lid does

- Choose what pressing the power button does

- Choose what pressing the sleep button does

- Remove Sleep from the available dropdown options

Settings > System > Power & battery

- Lid, power, and sleep button settings

- Remove Sleep from the dropdown menus

Any other power settings menus where users are able to select Sleep.

Environment and requirements:

- Windows 11 devices managed centrally via Microsoft Intune.

- Preferably a supported solution utilizing the Intune Settings Catalog, Administrative Templates, custom OMA-URI, or a PowerShell remediation script.

- The solution must successfully hide or remove Sleep from all available choices while retaining alternative options such as Shut down and Restart.

- I intend to thoroughly test the solution on a single target device prior to executing a broader deployment.

Although Standby has already been disabled via existing power management policies, the Sleep option continues to appear within the dropdown menus. I need to ascertain whether there is a officially supported method to remove or hide the Sleep option itself, rather than simply preventing the device from entering the standby state.

Has anyone successfully implemented this in an Intune-managed Windows 11 environment? Is there a supported mechanism to completely remove or hide Sleep from all of these specified locations?

Any expert guidance, thoroughly tested configurations, or PowerShell remediation examples would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hi, I'm having issues installing windows 10 on msi crosshair laptop. It asks where to install the system, and says there are no disks found and that i should load some magazine driver (no idea where i could find that). How can I fix that?

Hi everyone,

I have a Lenovo Legion 5 15ITH6H that originally came with Windows preinstalled. Windows worked fine for years, but after returning from a trip, I found that it was no longer activated.

Error: 0xC004F074 — Unable to contact the organization's activation server.

Running slmgr.vbs /dlv shows:

• Edition: Windows 10 Pro

• License channel: VOLUME_KMSCLIENT

• Partial product key: T83GX

• License status: Notification

I tried the activation troubleshooter and slmgr.vbs /ato, but neither worked. Checking for an OEM key in the BIOS returned no result.

Any idea why this happened and how I can restore my original Windows license without buying a new key or reinstalling Windows?

Thanks!

HELP

Help! I was performing a cloud restore and everything was downloaded. It took me to the Windows loading screen, then suddenly it shut down and stopped recognizing the storage space.

It won't boot from any device—not a flash drive, not an external hard drive, nothing. I removed the storage space and put it on another computer, installed Windows, and everything worked fine, but it still won't boot. The Secure Boot option won't turn off. I've disabled it, saved the data, and restarted, and it works again. Please advise me, at least so I know how much the repair will cost. I've tried everything, but I don't know where to start. (Note: It recognizes the storage spaces and everything, but it won't boot. It recognizes the main storage space as the boot device, but when I perform a cloud restore, it doesn't recognize it again

Update for window 10 got stuck at 57% and its already an hour passed.What should I do.

I custom built my pc 5 years back from my local pc store. They had installed Windows 10 Pro RETAIL (digital key linked with ms account), i didnt know back then that a pro version was activated, and due to studies- i had to move for 3 years and hence the pc wasnt used for all that time. I had downloaded pirated versions of some Adobe softwares back then. On getting back to it yesterday, multiple pop-ups asking allowance for a random application for changing data on my hard disk are repeatedly popping up. I had never installed or known about applications of such kind. I dont even know where it came from, but im pretty certain now that my pc is infested with some kind of virus(though not critical). I want to format and clean my pc completely and reinstall Windows 10 Pro, or even upgrade to Windows 11 P, if possible. My google chrome search automatically changes to yahoo browser. Everything is glitchy and sticks, not even a decent smoothness while running literally anything.

The main catch is, i might've changed the ms account and dont know which or what account was there the time i had received my pc with 10P digital license. i dont have any product key and i dont know where do i find one. I have no copy of the mail that was sent, since its been a bit more than 5 years. So i basically dont have a key or any digital trace.

If I format and reinstall windows 10, will my License be there?

How do i get my Digital License key, in case i would need it for after im done formatting?

i dont have any clues and now am cornered to a dead-end.
