No, I am not into gaming so not a problem for me. Any issues with security since WIn7 does not receive any updates from microsoft?

This seems to be the right way but with some issues. Thanks

I should also mention that I have changed the name of the default workgroup in both PCs

Actually I have the opposite problem. I can see the user from the server but not the local account on the client PC I'll summarise the setup cause, coincidentally, I noticed something else just now. I have the server pc and the clients connected on a router. Then I have ZeroTier running that...

I have posted the issue I am facing with the permissions here https://hardforum.com/threads/the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified.2034916/

I completely forgot about this option. Thanks

No, i do not have crazy needs. I am the only person accessing the files. I still have Win Server and I know all about permissions but in this case I can not make them work correctly. This is the problem I am facing https://hardforum.com/threads/the-system-cannot-find-the-path-specified.2034916/

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...

ZeroTier seems to work fine. What I do not like is that it needs installation as an admin. I wanted to install it on my work laptop but I understand. There is something that confuses me. After reading the documentation, I understand that zerotier creates a virtual encrypted VPN. That's the...

Yes, you are right. pinging no-ip returns the IP of protonvpn which is correct. Following socK 's comment, I removed the port forwarding rule from the router. I will give ZeroTier a go. Thanks

*** UPDATE **** Oh, I forgot to mention that the PC that acts as a server in my setup runs ProtonVPN I think this is an important detail but as said it worked a couple of times.

Yes, I've read a lot about attached on the default RDP port. But, as explained, 3389 is not open at all. Do you think this is still a problem? I tried setting up a VPN but I found it really cumbersome. I tried OpenVPN. I will check Zero-Tier, as grim4593 suggests although I do not know what it...

If I ping no-ip name or check the IP, it returns no-ip's ip address not my router's.

Hi there, I have a PC that works as a server (Win 11) and another one (Win 10) I use to connect to the first one via RDC. What I want to do is use RDC when I am away from home. I have installed no-ip and got a custom domain. I have also configured the router to forward port 50000 to 3389 on...

Hi there, I am looking for a wireless or bluetooth webcamera; ideally white :) It seems impossible to find any. When I go to amazon and select the right filters, it still shows USB cameras. Does anyone know any models? Thanks

27" Curved Monitor and a USB Webcam. It was used as a second monitor for a laptop but I didn't use it that much. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295945212445

Hi everyone, I've got a Terramaster D2-310 and an IronWolf Seagate hard drive for sale her: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/295945229291

I am the same. I do not feel comfortable handing the passwords of my email accounts over to a 3rd party. I've tried Thunderbird, BetterBird and all the birds around...none sync with Exchange server calendars correctly. Shame cause they are good pieces of software otherwise

I am frustrated with all the email clients I have tried. They seem to be unable to connect to Exchange server and synchronise calendars. Same with hotmail. I have yet to find a decent email client.

Yes, I have already done this. Looks like it is pointless to check what graphic card a laptop has if you do not do any CAD work or play heavy games

What should I disable in the BIOS? The internal graphics card? So, the settings in control panel are pointless.

Hi there, I've got a Dell XPS with NVidia GeForce 1050 and Windows 10. I am not a gamer and for the life of me I am not able to force applications to use nvidia. I have changed the settings in Windows and in GeForce Control Panel but I think the graphics card has not been used at all the last...

Yes, I suspect so. And it is nightmare to devise a locking mechanism. No, I need write access too MS Teams has evolved and it is more than a messaging app. It works as the front end of Sharepoint, Onedrive, etc. I explained what I want to do. Thanks anyway.

Hi everyone, I wanted to ask the people who are more knowledgeable than me the following: 1. I understand that OneDrive is a file sharing service. But, is there a way to run a database server like SQL or store an sqlite file that can be accessed by mutliple people? 2. Is it possible to...

How can I do this? Can you explain please? I have another story to tell here. My department has bought a piece of software for me to do my job. I emailed helpdesk to ask them to install it on my company's PC. They replied that I can visit the IT helpdesk and they will do it for me. So, when I...

Not necessarily. Until recently, OneDrive could sync only specific folders. You couldn't store the cloud data in any folder you wanted. In my case, I pay for the license of what I want to install No, it is not. I am not talking about such trivial examples. They said no. Hmmm...it would be...
