  1. I've been given the job of installing Windows 11 on remote workers laptops. I do a fresh installation of Windows 11 as an admin user from the media creation tool. Then I have to create a new user account for the final end user of the laptop who's going to work on it remotely. This is with a Microsoft 365 managed work account, not a personal account. During the installation of the end user's account I have been asked to skip setting up the Windows Hello PIN - and leave this for the end user to do that I send the laptop to after configuring it for them. Before sending it out, I have to login to the laptop as the end user, and make sure it's all configured and set up for them to use straight away. I have been asked to skip setting up the Windows Hello PIN - but I cannot figure out a way to do that. Is there some way of skipping this step please as the PIN is a company required policy and cannot be removed under Settings > Other Accounts? Or can I setup the PIN then deleted it when the laptop is configured and ready to send to the end user? That way the real end user can set a PIN of their choice then? From what I've read online - this might be a workable way to remove the PIN Deleting the NGC Folder: Some users have found success by deleting the NGC folder, which stores PIN data. This might require taking ownership of the folder and doing it in Safe Mode. "Try to delete the following folder: C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Microsoft\NGC" https://www.reddit.com/answers/d41d93e1-7094-4069-82da-1987738ef24a/?q=Tips to disable PIN login on Windows 11
  2. @HarryTri Maybe that's why I can't find any then Harry If that's the case - I might have to go down this route here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/split-a-windows-image--wim--file-to-span-across-multiple-dvds?view=windows-11 PS: I would boot from a USB flash drive - but I keep hitting this error - and it seems a lot of hoops to jump through: https://www.avoiderrors.com/unable-create-new-system-partition/
  3. Thanks for your helpful reply @NotHereToPlayGames My Acer has got a DL optical drive. I'm a bit stuck where to find DVD+RW DL disks here in the UK. Obviously I prefer +RW DL disks so I can re-use them if needed - eg. if the burn process doesn't work.
  4. Thanks for pointing that out @Tripredacus I think I will just stick with using the iso direct from the Microsoft website.
  5. Any thought on this - Tiny10
  6. Hello all, I'm trying to fit Windows 10 22H2 installer onto a 4.7GB DVD+RW disk - but the image is too big. Is there any way I can do this from Linux Mint please? TIA
  7. Thanks for that link Jaclaz. As long as I can use this to produce 3d woodworking plans, like bird boxes and bird tables then that's OK with me. I'll check it out and give more feedback later. Regards - Jed.
  8. Does anyone know of a free 3D CAD program like AutoCad please to run on Vista Home Premium? TIA - Jed
  9. Thanks for those replies. I'll check those out. Jed
  10. I'm trying to master how to make excellent Word documents and Excel spreadsheets. Can anyone please recommend some free PDF tutorials that I can work through with Word and Excel on screen? Even something suitable online would suffice, as I have dual monitors - 1 for the tutorial and 1 for learning Word and Excel on. I have a basic knowledge of using Word, and my Excel knowledge is at "Hello World" level TIA Jed.
  11. Thanks for that heads-up submix8c. I have downloaded the complete MS office zip package from bookboon. Will take a look at that ASAP. Jed
  12. Can anyone please recommend a good book on administering Outlook for user's at work. I'm mainly a Linux Sys Admin, but need to know how to setup outlook for others. Recently on Outlook 2007 I tried to add another email address to a users profile, that already has 3 email addresses, and when I added the new email address, all the inboxes for the other email addresses disappeared. So I deleted the latest email address I added, and the other email addresses and folders returned. Did I create a new email profile that took precedence over the existing profile? All I wanted to do was to add another email address to the existing profile, so the user can continue to receive emails for the existing addresses, and use their own new email address as well. TIA Jed
  13. Thanks for those replies. I've decided to build a dedicated Linux server, and use one of the PHP calendar booking systems. This needs to scale so we can have ten or more people using the booking calendar. So the excel thing was just a short-term fix that I don't really want to get involved with. Thanks again for all the input on this. Jed
  14. Hi everyone. Can anyone please recommend a free desktop publishing program that would allow me to open several images as layers, and to build up a single picture, and then save as a flattened jpg file? I can do this using the GIMP 2.2.17, but I need an interface that allows me to resize and move those image layers in an interactive way in real time. I also need a free image library viewer, that would allow me to browse the images I create with the above application. (Using Windows Photo Gallery for that now I've installed and taken a look at Scribus DTP and that seems to do the trick nicely - unless anyone out there knows of something better please? TIA - Jed
  15. Thanks for those links jaclaz. I'll take a look at them soon. I don't like the idea of using an excel spreadsheet like a database either. As a temporary measure, what if the current spreadsheet was split into two seperate sheets? That way one of the operators can have half of the contractors in their own spreadsheet, and the other call operator can have the other half of the contractors in their spreadsheet. They can both have read/write access then without getting locked out from making updates to their calendars.
