  1. But seriously where did you get the picture you put in your post? Maybe that place had information about it. The manual way is to export one of the image index from the install.wim, and then mount and capture/append each additional image into the newly exported image. As for making them appear in Setup like in your picture... I seem to recall that your boot image has to be 32-bit in order for Setup to deploy both 32bit and 64bit images. This can potentially be a problem on modern hardware that have the firmware block against 32bit binaries in UEFI and/or legacy mode. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/create-a-wim-for-multiple-architecture-types-using-dism https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-setup-supported-platforms-and-cross-platform-deployments
  2. In the shop I only have 3 types of discs to burn with, DVD, DVD DL (Dual Layer) and good old CD-R. I do not like putting OS installs onto a USB, it takes up a USB and I have to work with many different OS versions so burning them to disc is preferred for me. Rarely have to use CD-R anymore, usually just for memtest or disk tools. OT: I should be getting the install keys today (I forgot to ask for them last week) and should be able to do a full deployment test to see if anything has changed with that.
  3. The ISO size is a bit down. For some comparisons of the last few OSes I've burned: 6,076,022 KB: Windows 10 20H2 5,439,160 KB: Server 2019 4,747,720 KB: Windows 11 I typically use DVD+R DL for OSes in recent years, seeing that 4.7 gave me hope I could use a regular DVD but I guess not. The 200 MB (or was it 200 KB?) was the size ImgBurn had said it was off by. Is there a list of known things that do not work when Windows 11 is not activated? Nearly all of my work with it is in that state.
  4. The ISO for Windows 11 is 200 MB too large to fit on a 4.7 GB DVD. EDIT: first usability impressions. 1. The icons being in the middle of the taskbar is weird. I do not like how if you open something, all of the icons shift to accomodate the new one, and then shift back when you close something. 2. The built-in help is online only. For example if I go to the Taskbar settings and click on "How do I customize the taskbar" option, it opens Help that just says "Looks like you aren't connected to the internet." And then it shows basic troubleshooting instructions for wireless (wifi) settings to make sure you have it turned on or run the troubleshooter. OK well this is a desktop and there is no wireless card in it. I'm guessing this means this OS is designed for notebooks with touchscreens. And also is not fully functional on an isolated network. I hope the Embedded version resolves this, whenever that happens to be released. 3. Also there are some Taskbar options that are enabled by default, when disabled do not actually do anything. I forgot to get the install key so I was not able to test an auto install and making an image. I will have to try that tomorrow. And I suspect that the current XML is going to work, based solely on the OOBE pages that are presented in offline setup, but we'll see.
  5. Interesting to note that it seems that MS did not announce an RTM date for Windows 11, but did announce GA. https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2021/08/31/windows-11-available-on-october-5/ I hope to get to try it out soon. There doesn't seem to be any real update for the ADK, so I'm first going to see if I can deploy it just like Windows 10 aka Vista.
  6. I'm presuming that Windows Update is going to be using the same requirements as the PC Health Check App. Whether or not it will specifically require Secure Boot to be enabled or a minimum 64 GB OS volume remains to be seen.
  7. I've been thinking about trying to use Chrome to visit Facebook (I've been using Palemoon) but honestly I've been at peace not having to read the stuff that gets posted on there.
  8. I was at a customer site a couple weeks ago to do some physical inventory work and they had quite a few Windows XP computers at both of the locations I visited. I thought about this thread but also knew it would not have been appropriate for me to take pictures of those computers. They were only being used to run old machines. Some were used to run some sort of metal grinding machine and others were used to operate lasers.
  9. Despite the nobility of the request, it falls against the forum rules so we cannot actually help with this specific request. However, one thing I can point to is this: ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp0501-1000/0501.txt ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp0501-1000/
  10. User can't do it for themselves. As a general rule we do not delete accounts but rather recommend that people just logout and not come back if they don't want to be here. We make this recommendation instead of complying with a deletion because of the countless times that people have returned to MSFN after years of not using it. Also consider this: if we delete your account, your posts will remain. However since this server is hosted in EU, we will respond appropriately to a properly worded GDPR Right to Erasure request, which anyone from EU (or UK since they retained this law after Brexit) can send in a PM to a Supervisor and we will delete your account.

  12. I think just general heating. When there are 2 bars, it will start to warm up when doing certain things. I've since changed many settings to save on data and battery and this seems to have helped keep it cooler. So on the old phone, I was not able to ID the chips that are damaged, but know that neither sound nor vibrate will work on it.
  13. 2x Galaxy S4. First one has some melting on the PCB, got a replacement. But new phone can't do everything or I haven't figured it out. So currently having to run both of them at this time.
  14. A software becomes dead or abandoned only when an entity (rights holder) ceases to exist, at least in the US. This is why no Microsoft product is considered abandonware because Microsoft still exists. Enforcement of copyright or license doesn't even matter as far as the law is concerned, for the law is only envoked upon complaint. There is no enforcer of license for the most part. Microsoft handles enforcement via audits, and this typically only covers products that are currently in support. For Bigmuscle, they may not post on the forum but they still visit and read PMs (and fixes webpages), so as far as we are concerned, Bigmuscle still exists. So if the software is not only working on certain versions of Windows, it doesn't matter. The advice to not donate to use the software on newer versions is OK, since there is no implication or instructions on how to do things that would violate that license.
  15. The function of the computer is to go on websites, play a DOS game and has an IM client running so that I can send myself links or whatever when I am not home. There is no actual requirement that the computer needs to stay on for any particular reason and the only reason it does is because it can. So there is no point to use a UPS on it or any other computer that I run at home.
  16. I like to think that the bottom of the teacup hides a hole that leads to the bit bucket.
  17. I find it troubling that some extensions are not just client-side as they appear. The HTTPS Everywhere is used for a very specific situation, on a network where a firewall erroneously blocks some HTTP traffic meaning that some websites (forums) that I use do not work unless I force HTTPS.
  18. Lost power two days ago, while on my attempt to break my previous uptime record. 4 hours before power was lost, this was logged in Event Viewer: The system uptime is 60616898 seconds. That's 701 days!
  19. Now that we have the license text: https://glass8.eu/out/license2.txt We can say that people are not allowed to modify the program. Now, this post was reported for a rule violation but it wasn't clear. It would have been a 1.d violation but the license text wasn't available at the time. So let this be a warning that asking for how to modify this program to remove the watermark without donating is against the forum rules and whoever can get a warning or ban for asking about it.
  20. I had PMed bigmuscle about the link error before making this post. I guess he had since updated the link between me posting this thread and when arcticfoxie replied.
  21. Microsoft had used a site called Digital River to host downloads for Windows OS and things like Office, that people were able to compile a list of links for direct download. To my knowledge, those old links no longer work and there is a more involved process in order to get downloads from that site. If the program you used was just an easy way to get those downloads from Digital River, it may explain why it no longer works.
  22. This sub-forum is led by the creator of the program in question. I have severe doubts that they will post the details on how to disable the watermark, especially since the pinned FAQ specifically states that the only way to remove the watermark is to donate.
  23. An oddity for sure, but an actual ability to get an HTTP 418 response on a live website... at least until it is fixed, if ever. HTTP 418 response code is "I'm a teapot" or the server refuses to brew coffee because it is a teapot. Which is... apparently... a legitimate HTTP response code: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/418 At this very moment, this is the response code you get if you try to view the License Agreement on glass8.eu.
  24. Yes the blue ribbon image is not hosted on a secure site (and @jaclaz isn't the only member who links to that image) and will/can result in there showing an "insecure" message in a browser, when simply it means there is mixed content. If this modified browser discussed in this thread has the inspector/web dev tools included, you can use inspector to determine whether it is images (or something else) that is causing the message. In error console it would show the error Mixed Content. If you are using an add-on like HTTPS Everywhere, the insecure message does not appear, the blue ribbon would appear as a broken image link, and no message in Error console. Instead it can only be seen in the network monitor where the gif is requested over HTTPS but no response is returned by the server whatsoever.
