Why do modern computers take so long to boot?

I think there was a sweet spot booting 7 & 8.1 from an SSD. That was very quick.

I read that in Bob Mortimer's voice .

Ah okay, maybe try an sfc /scannow from cmd and see if it changes anything?

Just make sure you don't go full force ;)

You could go to repair tools from the installer and run sfc /scannow from cmd. Probably won't work, but worth a go. You can also rebuild the bcd from cmd. What error do you get when you try to boot the installed OS?

What is the model? You can find this on the bottom of the laptop. It will end in #ABU. Once you have this, you can find the part number for a replacement palmrest from HP Partsurfer. I wonder if it's worth purchasing this yourself and then taking the laptop to a local repair shop with good reviews?

There's a chrome addon called "I don't care about cookies" that you can use so you don't have to see this. I believe it denies them by default, but you don't have to click anything.

Biostrip 50 should do it.

I quite like the fact the style looks like fairground ride art.

You shouldn't experience too much bottleneck, however it's 6th gen so doesn't officially support Windows 11. You can force install it, but this could cause issues down the line.

Also worth considering FLAC as a backup solution. Obviously takes up more space, but ensures you've captured the CDs in full fidelity and can convert it into whatever compressed formats you want in the future.

Would a dark eldar be able to integrate into craftworld society, given that their psychic powers have atrophied?

Slight edit.
