This too..
“Windoze 10 has nothing to do with any of that.”
But, I still stand by my dual boot option.. (remember, he said he has no CD/DVD drive).
I have a USB CD/DVD drive and I create ISO’s of all my software that is on those formats. Everything is loaded to a NAS, and then a mapped network drive is added to the “This PC” directory.
The NAS is backed up monthly.
I have used the SSD drives and they are nice and decidedly faster than even the 10K RPM stuff, but I still remember the first USB flash drive I bought. In the documentation, it said I could expect “X number of bits” transfers (don’t remember what X was). I never forgot that, and have always viewed the SSD stuff through that lens. I used it a lot, but when it failed, I wasn’t angry. I expected it. Even the new stuff, while considerably better than that stuff that I bought in 2005, it still has the same weakness. Failure is total, and unrecoverable.
