Linux is a mess. You need to spend time learning how to configure it. BTW, would it work with WIndows 10 on a client PC? I haven't ever tried FreeBSD

what's tiny11? a slim down win 11 version?

Yes, now I have server 2022 but there is a mess with permissions and I can't figure out how to resolve it. BTW, the machine works very well with 2022 but the permission thing drives me nuts

Hi, I am fed up with the rubbish on Win11 and (less) on Win10 especially with telemetry and broken windoes images. So, I am really considering installing Win 7 on a PC I use as a file server. I know Win 7 does not receive any security updated but I was wondering if a good antivirus with...

Hi, My setup has a PC that I use as a file server (running Windows Server 2022), a client PC (running Windows 10) and ZeroTier to create a private VPN. I have shared three drives on the server and mapped them onto the client using the IP that ZeroTier produces. I do not use Active directory...

No, i haven't actually.How am I going to access the VMs directly? Should be via RDC? I may have the same problem

AMD Ryzen 5 5500U The setup in on wired gigabit lan (except when I log in from outside of home).

I wouldn't say it is a server machine in terms of specs. It is a mini PC (AMD, 16GB mem, 2TB SSD) that I use as a file server. I will do the system health check as you propose. It may help. SMART shows very good health on all drives. The PC is new; probably 4-5 months old. Haven't tried a...

No, VMWare Yes, but couldn't find anything relevant I RDC directly to the server, not to the VMS

Hi, At home, I've got an AMD with 16GB memory that acts as my file server and hosts some VMs. It runs Windows 11. Then, I use my laptop to connect to it via remote desktop connection when I want to use the VMs. The files are accessed via networked drives. I also use ZeroTier. When I access...

How are raw values being reported? As HEX? Yeah, I think the drive reached its life span. Gone now

I've replaced the drive now. Macrium rocks ;) Thanks for the replies.

Good idea but I couldn't find anything in their website. I also run wmic diskdrive get status and is says: Pred Fail I think my SSD is dying....:(

Hi, Thanks for the answers. Yes, I have three backups already. I am not worried about this. This is what I see in Crystal.

Hi, I've got an SSD drive in my laptop which is the windows drive as well. When I run CrystalDiskInfo, it shows that the drive's health is Bad (0%) and flags up "critical warning". HWiNFO64 also reports "drive failure". However, disk management shows the drive and the partitions as healthy...
