So long as you and they understand that Microsoft at any random moment can throw StackSocial under the bus and suddenly deactivate your software. Microsoft has done that before. Remember discount mountain? It seems to be the unwritten policy to allow such quasi-piracy for a time and then end...

Me thinks Ghoppie got hacked by ChatGPT.

Honestly that looks like a hardware issue. As mentioned above the system is in PXE mode so it maybe trying to boot off the network. Turn off PXE boot and make sure your boot order is correct. Disable secure and or fastboot options.

Run the exe from a WinPE disk.

No, it is not. This forum is ONLY for IT Business owners. You have to be providing IT-related services or hardware to your clients. @Kitten Kong

If it’s in a docking station just close the lid.

Macrium Reflect can inject generic drivers onto a system so that it will boot up. I think it still works on Xp. But if all he is doing is burning DVDs then get a linux distribution on it.

That would be Windows itself. If another user has admin rights they can change the password of another user.

The iPhone 5 was introduced in 2012. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPhone_5

iPhone 5? You mean 15. if she has a Mac then connect to it. Trying with an iPhone is all kinds of hell.

This. Or your password program has to be run from a WinPE disk that can engage BitLocker. You can change files on an encrypted disk if you can’t decrypt it.

Oh and if it isn’t obvious the numbers 2280, 2242, etc are just the dimensions of the card. 22mm x 80mm for 2280. Not counting the area for the interface slot.

And you have been seeing it. For the past decade Microsoft has been slowly introducing Bitlocker as a default enabled service. Windows 11 upped the ante by requiring TPM 2.0 and defaulting the use of Microsoft accounts. I’d lay good money that default settings in Windows 11 24H2 will have...

All true but some rumors have more weight than others. Regulatory bodies are likely to force this and Microsoft not wanting to have mixed support models will just make it happen on all product lines.

I’ve seen a few Lenovo Thinkpads that have two slots. One is the small type a 2230 or 2242, I’ve not measured it, the other is a standard 2280.

That depends on the phone. For example iPhones are always encrypted. If you turn off the passcode the encryption is simply bypassed much like when you suspend BitLocker encryption. If you have a deep hardware failure and the internal decryption key is lost you will lose all data on one. Most...

With respect would you stop being deliberately dense? What @Sky-Knight is saying is that your ability to disable encryption is going to be disabled. YES TODAY you can turn it off. 5 years from now YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO. He isn’t speaking of today. He speaking about tomorrow. And it’s likely...

It means that the drive is encrypted but the TPM is decoding for all access to the drive without regard to any log in status. If you pull the drive it will be unreadable on another machine.

You can pretty much count ALL the major OEMs on that. Every consumer PC with Windows 11 on it that I’ve seen has had BitLocker on it pre encrypted waiting for the final action (logging into a M$ account). The TPM chip has the key and is in an always decrypt mode and so it always decrypts the...

This exploit uses the zip domains that I posted on before. https://www.technibble.com/forums/threads/the-real-risks-in-google%E2%80%99s-new-zip-and-mov-domains.89762/
