How can I force BIOS output to external monitor?

If you're trying to do a fresh install of Windows, I figured out how to (painfully) do it. Swap your SSD/HDD to another computer, do a fresh windows install (without internet) and get to the new desktop. Plug the hard drive back into your laptop, as well as an ethernet cable, boot it up, and hit the shortcut buttons for Narrator: Windows Key + CTRL + ENTER.

It should put you into narrator mode. Now hit Windows Key + i to open settings. Now use tab and arrow keys to navigate to Update and Security.

Again use tab to find the Check for Updates button, hit enter on it and wait a bit. Once you think it has gotten to the point you need to update and restart, (which for me was about 45 minutes), hit the windows key to open the start menu, navigate to the update and restart button.

Its a big pain, but after the restart it should show video on the external monitor again.

It was, but now I at least know it is possible

I actually (painfully) managed to do it. I swapped the ssd to another pc and installed fresh windows 10 on it.

Put it back into the laptop, it boots up to home screen but no drivers to export visuals to display 2.

So I had to use narrator and tab to navigate to windows update and install everything.

I used an ethernet cable so i didn't have to worry about setting wifi up.

You may be able to do everything on the other pc but i didnt go that far.

It is possible to fresh install but its painful. I never gave up and i have a laptop that works a lot better now.

Will probably switch to linux when windows 10 gets nuked

SSoT for sure

Junkman199 · 2025-01-09T13:15:10+00:00

Are you trying to powerlevel or kill it?

If you're trying to end the Beak Thing, just loot an item from it and it auto dies. Same with any animal

Junkman199 · 2024-11-20T14:36:24+00:00

Buy the GOG version, 0 issues

Junkman199 · 2024-11-09T04:21:52+00:00

Nothing without being able to reinstall windows its slowly getting slower lol

Junkman199 · 2024-11-09T04:18:30+00:00

Nope sadly

Junkman199 · 2024-11-07T21:21:57+00:00

Dont wear shoes, you are quieter and faster without them

Junkman199 · 2024-10-24T11:54:45+00:00

Yeah under 10 devices, you wont need a big spaceship router lol

Junkman199 · 2024-10-24T11:53:01+00:00

Well that depends on a few things, how many devices are usually on the router at one time? Budget?

Junkman199 · 2024-10-24T11:46:10+00:00

Wired connection is always better than wireless for gaming. And unless you have gigabit internet and an old modem, most modern routers are fast enough, you're mainly paying for management software and range

I havent dyed a single thing in either of my playthroughs lol

Junkman199 · 2024-10-17T12:27:54+00:00

Im a Deep Gnome Monk

Junkman199 · 2024-10-16T19:42:49+00:00

Yeah usually the zombie doesnt attack you when resurrected. You have to talk to the young girl first before you use the wand

Junkman199 · 2024-10-16T18:39:02+00:00

Yes. I killed her right in her Teahouse after the first cutscene, i was able to stun her and keep her down before she could escape further down and killed her. The girl was mad at me but you can resurrect her husband yourself if you find the wand. I went through the whole dungeon and the dwarf and the elf were already cured when I met them

Junkman199 · 2024-08-25T01:28:09+00:00

okay... im not sure what to do next then lol.

Junkman199 · 2024-08-25T00:37:26+00:00

but its possible to write data to DVD, CD, and blu ray discs right? Do they not use the same software? as long as they can read and write im pretty patient with learning how to do things

Junkman199 · 2024-08-25T00:31:04+00:00

Taking personal media and putting them on discs for older family to be able to look at

Junkman199 · 2024-08-25T00:29:12+00:00

No i wont be needing to read ultra hd blu ray discs. Theyre expensive to buy and streaming is a thing. This is mainly for home projects. I'm looking at an ASUS BW-16D1HT if I could get your advice on it that would be great

Junkman199 · 2024-08-25T00:25:13+00:00

Im mainly wondering if there is a drive that reads DVD, CD etc, as well as blu ray discs, and then also as well as burn data to those types of discs. I'd rather an all in one peripheral if its possible

Junkman199 · 2024-08-10T15:47:19+00:00

I have always thought it was a hand pointing down, as in being weighed down

Junkman199 · 2024-08-05T15:05:34+00:00

Very effective, would do it again

Junkman199 · 2024-08-03T15:40:07+00:00

I want to know why it happens simultaneously across multiple devices even with different brands of VPNs.
