any ideas for imrpovement

[humble zenith]

Move the file in the middle to one of the sides and then make it that the sides fill the whole screen from top to bottom

[fallow turret]

i kinda like it one side on one side

[humble zenith]

One side on one side? could you please clarify? If you meant move it to one side, that wasn't what i was saying, i was just saying mby to organise it a little more and get rid of the empty spaces and the extra icon in the middle

[fallow turret]

like files on one side and and another area for another files

i deleted that o ne in the middle

[humble zenith]

oh ok, i didn't notice that, thats actually pretty cool that you've separated them based on what they are and not just have them sorted randomly

[fallow turret]

and the background is the tribute to the old house computer that is long from dead forever

since we had a old computer that is long dead

now i got to deal with trying to solve adware

[humble zenith]

nice, very cool that it has lore

[humble zenith]

Ublock origin & adguard dns to the rescue

[fallow turret]

yeah we still got the old computer

it last screen was a BSOD

that ended it

[humble zenith]

That was a blue screen of death for real, not a temporary one

[fallow turret]

yea after that one it just stoped running that when we knew it was to old

It had great fps because sometimes i would do plants vs zombies on it

[humble zenith]

how old was it?

[fallow turret]

it lived longer than this pc

[humble zenith]

damn, what was its specs?

[fallow turret]

we dont know

this pc is currently like 4

[humble zenith]

oh nice, my laptop is also about 4

[fallow turret]

most pcs live till like 5

some live till 8

so that means my pc might have its end in 2025 since microsoft wont release any security updates in 2025 on august

[humble zenith]

ya well my laptop has already started having screen issues now, which is a pity, will have to take it in for repairs sometime

[fallow turret]

I might still be useing it after windows 10 ends

[humble zenith]

It doesn't support 11? That's a pity, you could try linux if you're willing to get technical

[fallow turret]

my pc does not support windows 11 yet

since i still have to get TPM 2.0

hopefuly they fix cursed updates soon like KB5034441

[humble zenith]

My dad's old laptop lasted i think it was 11 years before he replaced, he replaced it cause of win 10's end of support and that it was waaay too slow, like taking 15mins to turn on (old hard drive & 2nd gen i5)

[fallow turret]

my dad owns a windows 11 for work

a laptop

[humble zenith]

thats a pity, they are gonna kill so many devices like that because of those crazy high requirements

[fallow turret]

my pc was installed on 1/‎7/‎2021

[humble zenith]

what processor?

[fallow turret]

AMD RYZEN 5 3600 6 core processor

its so decent for gaming

[humble zenith]

That does support firmware TPM, you just need to enable it in your UEFI settings

[fallow turret]

I know it does i was told that alot

[humble zenith]

Why don't you enable it then? Prefer windows 10?

[fallow turret]

dont know how to

I been told its in your motha board

[humble zenith]

i can help, do you know what motherboard you have?

[fallow turret]

nope

dont know

plus i dont have a phone

I am getting one for my b-day

mabye

if my dad lets me since he said 0 - 100$ range for one

[humble zenith]

not even the brand? no secondary device at all? Jeez ok ya I can see how that can make it difficult to enable it

[fallow turret]

im gonna try to see

on device manager'

[humble zenith]

Wait, it is in System Information, can you screen shot on the right they rows where it says system manufacturer and model

[fallow turret]

this?

Gigabyte technogloy co LTD

[humble zenith]

ok so you have a gigabyte motherboard

[fallow turret]

that what system info said

[humble zenith]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPzjKnjDUBo try this video, it should be like this for your system and this should be how you enable it, if you want to try

[fallow turret]

bro

how am i suppose to follow it

EVEN THOUGH I CANT REMEMBER ALL OF THAT

[humble zenith]

Write down on a piece of paper:

• Shut down
• Spam press del key when turning on
• Use mouse to click on Peripherals in the top bar (should open up a new page & should see AMD CPU fTPM)
• Then click on the Disabled on the right of AMD CPU fTPM
• Then click on Enabled (top option)
• Then click on Save & Exit (last option) in the top bar (should go to a new page)
• Then click on Save & Exit Setup (top option)
• Then click on Yes (Left option)
  And then it should boot back into windows with it on

[fallow turret]

why not advance startup

[humble zenith]

Oh you could also use advance startup, i forgot about that, thats definitely easier

[fallow turret]

should it just reboot

[humble zenith]

after you click save and exit? yes

[fallow turret]

done

that was so easy

[humble zenith]

nice! now check if you can get windows 11

[fallow turret]

bro my heart was beating so fast like thats my first time visiting my mother board

[humble zenith]

Awesome! Now u can get windows 11 and you don't have to get a new computer

[humble zenith]

Ya, I remember the first time I went into my laptop's UEFI, my heart was also going crazy, I thought I would have a heart attack

[fallow turret]

bro i just ran in my bedroom and layed flat on the bed while my puppy was sleeping on there

[humble zenith]

Hmm...Probably just needs to be refreshed, let the other update install and then restart your computer and check again

[fallow turret]

someone sent me a link that will help with it

https://github.com/rcmaehl/WhyNotWin11

[humble zenith]

Oh ok, otherwise you can always just use the windows upgrade assistant from this page: https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11

[fallow turret]

ima wait

till the support ends

[humble zenith]

k, well at least now you can upgrade and continue using your computer after support ends

[fallow turret]

yea

i need that support for a 0 iq person like me

[humble zenith]

ur not dumb, you are better than many people who couldn't even do what you just did

[fallow turret]

@humble zenith

we cookin

in 30 days its update day

[humble zenith]

awesome!

[fallow turret]

ima do my pc a favor and get ready for it

by cleaning my drives

my disks

[humble zenith]

i recommend treesizefree to help find what files are taking up space

[fallow turret]

ima do a MRT scan with a deeper scan

.,

then im gonna fix my pc more

so we get gamer speed

[humble zenith]

And then using the compress this folder/file option in the advanced popup in the properties panel

[fallow turret]

how i get to that

[humble zenith]

that allows u to get more space without deleting anything, with basically no performance impact

[fallow turret]

do i need to do Control pannel ----> properties

[humble zenith]

you click on the folder or file you want to make take up less space, and then right click on it and press properties or click on it and press alt+enter and then that page should pop up, in file explorer not control panel

[fallow turret]

oh i dont do folders for my stuff

@humble zenith how do i fix KB5028997

[humble zenith]

But you can do the folders your games are in like steam, or you can do each file individualy

[fallow turret]

do you know how to fix KB5028997

[humble zenith]

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/kb5028997-instructions-to-manually-resize-your-partition-to-install-the-winre-update-400faa27-9343-461c-ada9-24c8229763bf try this

[fallow turret]

didnt work

I think microsoft is gonna release an update to fix it

[humble zenith]

Run this script by right clicking it and clicking on run with powershell, and it should work, if not try running it as administrator

[fallow turret]

didnt work

[humble zenith]

I did a little bit of research and it looks like if it still fails after that then you need to do an inplace upgrade, on the link i have replyed to, i think the windows upgrade assistant should work but im not too sure since this is a very uncommen problem

[fallow turret]

so when i upgrade i t should fix

[humble zenith]

i think so, im not sure tho

[fallow turret]

hopefuly i get beter frames with the update

just hopefuly

[humble zenith]

unlikely that it'll make much if any difference

[fallow turret]

I notice that my drivers app is not working

AMD radeon software

[humble zenith]

what's wrong with it, like is it just not opening?

[fallow turret]

yea

[humble zenith]

Try uninstall it and reinstall it

[fallow turret]

eh not important

[humble zenith]

Ya, windows update handles amd drivers so it doesn't really matter unless you want some of the features it offers

[fallow turret]

i feel like i should install a secuirty extension like this https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/online-security/jcpgbnbdnakoblgfkbgggankeidkfcdl?aflt=74

[humble zenith]

Don't get a security extension like that rather get a program called malwarebytes, things like the one you suggested aren't commenly known and tend to actually make your security worse and known apps like malwarebytes (free) can help your security but really windows defender already does a very good so anything extra is not really needed

[fallow turret]

i got rav antivirus

that my pc came with

[humble zenith]

Nice!

[fallow turret]

they sent me it

my pc at 8% power
