I agree with Brian... :) using a SSD for backup is not a good practice. Like he said hdd's give warnings of failure. But that is rare. I have drives that are creeping up on 10 years old and

I am also not aware of any way to get rid of it in a normal way. However if you are comfortable with regedit.exe, you can set/create a DWORD value named AllowCortana with a value of 0

Marty: Does the name of the folder in which you keep your audio files and play lists on the D drive, have the same name as it did when it was located on the c drive? Dave

Um, why these weird stats? \ My current rig has 64gb ram, 1tb ssd, i9 10900k, 10-core cpu, and a 4tb 7200rpm hdd for backup/other storage. I also have a nvidia rtx3080 that I use for machine
