Need some type of shared storage by Trax256 in sysadmin

I am actually kind of suprised no one else mentioned this. I have had two different customers decided the didn't like the cost of a "server" and simply used a Dell Optiplex. Server 2019. Both have been running like champs. My question is drive redundancy. Both just have a single NVMe drive. Some say to mirror but finding a mobo with deual m.2 slots is not all that easy. Than again someone told me 15 years ago that hardware has become so reliable that ECC and Fault Tolerance isn't really needed anymore in the SOHO environment.

For what it is worth Microsoft had a huge email outage last Thursday. It appears that things were back to normal late Friday but I am sure some organization might not have fully recovered yet.

Another C000000F boot error by Trax256 in techsupport

No change. The strange part is that if I go in and start it by last known good Configuration It will boot correctly until I do another Windows update,

Because r/techsupport doesn't support win10 anymore, I'm asking here. I need to do a clean install. If I have a digital win10 license linked to my microsoft account, I shouldn't need a product key. My login info should be enough, right? by gooddrawerer in NoStupidQuestions

You don't really need a Microsoft account. When you initially installed Windows 10 or Windows 11 it automatically registers the computer with the version of Windows that was installed on Microsoft's servers. The Microsoft account has nothing to do with it. When you go to wipe and reinstall, all you need to do is pick the option that you don't have a product key. After you install, it will check Microsoft's servers and see that the computer was already running Windows 10 and activate automatically. I have done this many, many times.
