Thank you. I couldn't find how to whitelist specific sites but I was able to list a different browser as an exception and I can now access the forum using that browser. That is less hassle (and safer) than having to turn the VPN on and off.

I get blocked from the forum when I try to access it using a VPN (Mozilla VPN), even when I am logged in. This is a real nuisance for me. I don't suppose there is a way around this besides turning the VPN everytime I want to access the forum and then navigating back to the page I was trying to...

Ah - I see. I think I must have done something wrong. But all sorted now. Thank you.

Not in the same way, but it can be moved to another drive by a convoluted procedure.

I should maybe explain better. I don't store any data on my C: drive. I store it all on an internal SSD that due to various changes is my O: drive. I don't use the user libraries pictures or documents user libraries (and I don't use OneDrive because it doesn't play nice with Lightroom Classic...

Hi, This is a question relating to Windows really, but it is on a PC Specialist machine and I know there are some knowledgeable folk here. Please remove the post if it is inappropriate. I will post the machine details at the end of this post. I am now using Windows 11 Home. I wanted to put my...

I think people will probably want to know what monitor you intend to use.

I think people may want to know what monitor you intend to use it with. Also, I think you will probably be advised against Norton antivirus. I'm afraid I'm not knowlegeable enough to advise you further.

Thank you. I thought so but I wanted to make sure, with it being called an upgrade.

Hi, I bought a custom PC specialist system in Sept 2021 - specs listed below although before it was finally built I added to the order a Samsung 2Tb SSD on whoch I have been storing photos to use in Lightroom (LrC). If I open the order and click on "upgrade" I see I can upgrade to a 4Gb Samsung...

I think folk will want you to post the specification of your PC - this is the link to show you how to post it - https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/how-to-post-your-specification-to-the-forum-check-this-spec.73718/ There will be various cables included which are those that come with...

Thank you. Hmm. There's an idea. Mint. But I guess that may struggle with YouTube?

Hi, My wife may soon be in the market for a new laptop. It would be purely for web browsing (eg YouTube) and email - nothing demanding at all. The cheaper the better. This caught my eye. https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/gemini-IV/ It does seem very cheap - I see that the specs are...

Seriously, with an extension cable it makes an excellent leaf blower for the garden!

Does that apply to SATA SSDs or M2 SSDs or both?

I once found an airline meal in a bag in the pocket of the seat in front of me - unfortunately it was pre-digested - it was a full sick bag.

Thank you for your patient answer. My friend also says thank you. He is now going into it with his eyes open.

If my friend tried to use it as a platform what problems might he encounter?

Thank you for helpful replies so far. Sorry - I should have said that I am talking about a machine purchased without a Windows licence - I was wondering about the testing Windows that PCS ship it with compared to the system that a clean install done transfering a licence from an old machine.

What is the the difference between the PCSpecialist Windows install and a clean install done by a customer, with up to date graphics drivers? I know the forums have numerous times advised a clean install and my personality is such that I like the idea of a clean install anyway. But I am having a...
