Oh you've beaten me at least. 66 gone, will hit 67 this year. Done a lot of electronics stuff when I was young. Building and repairing audio systems, etc as a hobby. Worked on defense projects, air traffic control systems, developed industrial electronics products, half-bridge SMPS for...

I finally got time to do this yesterday. I created the bootable Windows install on a flash drive, removed the HDD and installed a new WD SN570 500 GB. Then switched on the laptop and it went pretty smoothly like clockwork. The installation also showed me a list of apps that were previously...

Big plus after buying the Moto G82. My Jio app gave me the option to upgrade to 5G Trial with unlimited data. I did that and ran Speedtest. 870 Mbps down and 39 Mbps up. My 4g was no slouch at 30 Mbps either but this one is almost 30 times better. Do I need it? NO but what the heck. Just running...

I went ahead and bought the Moto G82 5G from Flipkart. I got a Rs1500/- discount using Citibank Debit card before November 30th. After hearing horror stories here about issues with Flipkart, I asked for Open box delivery method. Worked out fine. I also sold my Poco F1 to a local shop at a...

I have contacted Microsoft and confirmed that I will be able to activate the Office 2019 license after I do a clean Windows 10 install. My bootable USB is ready. I have to travel a bit over the next 2 weeks. I will buy the SSD in the meanwhile and complete the upgrade when I'm back. I will post...

Is Samsung F23 5G worth considering? It seems to be priced very well. Is that an installable or executable that I can run? Can you point me to it with a link please?

Thanks. I will connect with you if I am unable to use the Cloud Recovery tool for any reason

Thanks. Let me try that on my current Poco F1

Thanks for the responses. I found that my windows activation is linked to the windows outlook account so I guess that's all I might need. I just realized today that this laptop also has MS Office pre-installed. I am wondering what happens to this with a fresh install. My alternative is to use...

Can pre-installed stuff on Xiaomi phones too be removed?

What about the Windows product key? The laptop came with Windows 10 pre-installed.

I have confirmed from the HP support forums that this laptop has a M.2 socket which supports NVMe Gen 3 but only 2 lanes work so it will give half the advertised speed for the installed drive. That is still potentially 3x of the Sata SSD speed, which is great. Now the question is will I be able...

I am not that particular about stock Android per se. I am basically annoyed by the stuff on Xiaomi phones that is intrusive and cannot be removed. For instance, when I use the text messenger, I get a MI popup that needs 2 clicks to bypass. This is just one example. I am open to Samsung phones as...

That is very encouraging. Thanks The price has jumped on Reliance digital. Members here have been saying to avoid Flipkart. Is there any chance for some discount offers coming up in the near future? I am not in a hurry. My Poco F1 is working fine so I can wait for a bargain opportunity. It may...

NVMe or SATA should both work with the same M.2 socket?

G82 8 GB version exceeds my budget. Would the 6GB version present any problems? Samsung F23 5G price seemed to have dropped. How is the phone?

While searching google for my laptop model number, I came across a customer support request asking about an M.2 slot and the answer was that there is indeed an unused M.2 slot. The HP manual says: So does it mean I can use an M.2 device with any interface? Meaning NVME or SATA Since there is a...

Are the Samsung F series phones like F23 OK? What about bloatware in the M23 and F23 phones? Is it uninstallable?

Thanks. Any link instructing how to go about replacing the HDD with a SSD? How is the EVM brand SSD? The 1TB is available for 4799. If that is reliable as a brand, I am inclined to go for 1TB

EVM SSDs seem to be pretty cheap on OnlySSD. A 512 GB is for Rs 2499/-. Is that OK? I know Samsung 870 EVO may be better but this would be very much better than the HDD anyway.
