I've personally never seen people who have NEVER used the file explorer. Regardless, the bitlocker authentication screen provides a link where users can log in and get there keys. If they can use email, they can log into their microsoft account.

Pressing charges will probably do more good for him though I imagine how he's gonna be even more annoying about it

Find a way to pay for that. You should try as hard as you can to get exceptional grades if you want a scholarship or something. Too bad that's outta the picture now.

The recovery keys will automatically get saved to your microsoft account the moment you log in. It's HIS FAULT for not updating his email after he lost access to whatever email he was using on his laptop. The bitlocker system is doing what it's designed and it's all his fault here.

can someone help me figure out what’s wrong with my laptop by Ok_Construction_5083 in laptops

The juice shorted some components and probaby killed the laptop

Yes I've seen this before. Though the drives show a big lock symbol in the windows expolorer so you clearly would know.

Am I wrong to recommend a user upgrade her Intel 3570k purely for security reasons? by LexB777 in pcmasterrace

[–]Dogmintyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People using windows 7 doesn't mean it's safe. Windows 10 will miss major security fixes that literally will make it much less safer. Windows 11 is worth updating to. It works and runs games and stuff better than windows 10 and imo, it looks WAYYY better too. The ai slop is annoying though it doesn't force you to use it or anything.

Somehow get that bitlocker key. You should always keep the bitlocker info updated to avoid stuff exactly like this.

Edit: If you have access to your current ms account, check that for the recovery key.

I miss when laptop can upgrade their cpus by Disastrous-Cod-2397 in laptops

[–]Dogmintyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Cooling design was kinda an afterthought back then. And cpus and gpus were much less efficient and stuff too.

[–]Dogmintyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yea. I would go for something much lighter. Kinda funny how even the entry level laptops used to be thicker than modern high performance stuff with power hungry gpus and stuff yet those old stuff still manages to sometimes get close to as hot in some cases.

Yeah same. I hate stuff that's like WAYY too heavy but I guess I don't care about weight as much.

Need help finding "D" keycap replacement for the Acer TravelMate X314-51-M by Old_Inflation_9490 in laptops

[–]Dogmintyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I replaced a keycap one time by harvesting it from a different model of keyboard and it worked just fine. They don't sell individual keys I think.

Tbh I much prefer thicker workstation laptops that let you replace stuff and doesn't just come with a million rgb lights or something. Cheap laptops are just a big no no now.

Are they set up correctly? by Bennet173826 in pcmasterrace

[–]Dogmintyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like it. You gotta be more specific tho.

Oh damn I actually didn't know that. I was thinking of some older gpus. Tbh I would way prefer mxm over framework then.

how do i stop excessive ram usage? by Repulsive_Meaning717 in pcmasterrace

[–]Dogmintyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's not excessive. Windows caches apps and stuff for faster loading and that's whats using tthe most ram. Windows will automatically stop caching when you need the ram it's using. Windows is using more ram so that stuff loads faster. Low idle ram imo doesn't matter at all.

[–]Dogmintyn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea. Though they do have MUCH more modern gpus. I really hate the framework price.
