Small update - something else to consider changing - disable Fast Boot.

Fast Boot means when you restart the computer, it doesn't do a full shutdown. It's likely that counters that are often reset upon a full reboot, aren't reset on a Fast Boot.

Fast boot used to be called hibernation. It is a fucking stupid nasty feature

Interesting. But, they also still have hibernation.

Easy to fix that - admin CMD window -> powercfg -hibernate off

I meant, they still have a separate function for hibernate. Why would they offer both, if they are the same thing?

You don't understand fast boot is hibernation. it is 100% the same thing. Just automatic.

Nope - not according to MS
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/kernel/distinguishing-fast-startup-from-wake-from-hibernation

You read that wrong. it is 100% hibernation. The only thing that article states is that unlike user requested hibernation, it closes all applications first.

So from the admin account, I created and shared a calendar as a test if this is what they actually want.

But I am curious what the best permission is.

O365 does not seem real clear on that.

Patch your WordPress sites, now!

It says it is a plugin. I know it said 80K sites have it, but it isn't installed by default, right?

Correct.

They did it themselves.

is there a way to tell if a computer is licensed for Windows 10 (currently Windows 7) via a Command Line.

From what I've seen lately, if the machine has a legit, activated Win 7 license, you're eligible to upgrade it win 10 (same edition - home, pro, etc).

thanks. I got this email earlier :

We are getting an error that states Windows 7 is obsolete and we need to use Windows 10 on another computer.  

 

When we bought the system, I was of the understanding they would be Windows 10 machines. I specifically asked about the OS because I wanted the system to last 8-10 years. Then we discussed the lifecycle of an OS is 5 years for mainstream support and 5 more for extended support. 

 

Please let me know why we were sold Windows 7 that was released in 2009 which would have made it 8 years old upon purchase in 2017.

 

Please let me know what we need to do to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

 

Thank you, 

The Devices in question are licensed for Windows 10. I wasn't here when the site was installed and He's been to known to bend what was actually said to something that benefits him, a lot in the past year or so.. Regardless the issue is we have to upgrade them to windows 10. I was able to find the SN on a portal from the vendor that tells what it's licensed for.

The machines should also have a sticker on them - either a Windows 10 foil, or a full windows 10 OEM sticker (but i don't think they do OEM stickers anymore).

it has a 8 and 10 sticker. which is really weird but there are 2.

That is weird. Perhaps it came with media for both?

possibly? It was so long ago that I wouldn't be able to find it if i wanted to .
No the thing is : How do I upgrade them to Windows10 without losing data on the hard drives, software.

Visit the Windows 10 upgrade website, download the upgrader and click upgrade - then wait 2 hours.

2 hours? Yikes. and Im not sure how the boss is wanting this handled.

That may or may not be an exaggeration. I've had some take 1 hour, I've had some take 4+... so many factors to consider.

makes sense, But since this customer only hold Phone support contract with us My bass has to make that decision as to what we're going to do to get them up to windows 10

They need to buy it now anyway, so just use a full installer. You don't need to do the update to upgrade the license anymore, as it won't be valid anyway.

Incorrect. The system already has a valid Windows 10 license, it was simply installed with downgrade rights. So there is no reason to install clean if that is more difficult for the currently installed software.

Your definition is not relevant. The FCC definition is what will be enforced.

@Woti said in Fedora 31 Server Edition filesystem permissions changed to 777:

I'll see soon. I've reinstalled Fedora 31 Server from scratch. I'm using newer and stronger certificates following those two guides:
https://linuxize.com/post/secure-apache-with-let-s-encrypt-on-centos-8/
https://riegers.in/nextcloud-installation-guide-ubuntu-18-04/

Next step is to restore Nextcloud DB and get Nextcloud up and running again. I'm not working with the server every day, that's why it takes some time

Best regards,
Woti

Good luck. post here with questions. Busy but will always help if I can.

No the thing is : How do I upgrade them to Windows10 without losing data on the hard drives, software.

This is how I've been doing it on the PC I'm upgrading:
Download the Windows 10 media creation tool
Go through all the options & then save the ISO file to c:\tmp
Once downloaded, use 7 Zip to expand the ISO to c:\tmp\windows
Run c:\tmp\windows\setup.exe as Administrator

There's an install option to Keep all files & data.

Before you do that you could create an image backup of the PC using something like Macrium Reflect free or similar.

Why do you unzip it?

I just mount the ISO - maybe you can't mount the iso?

Thought of that first up, but wasn't sure what would happen when the reboots began? Would it remount again automatically after a reboot if it needed to? I wasn't sure so went with the unzip.

I've done them this way for all the machines I've done remotely.

That is absolutely the wrong way to do it. You simply double click on the ISO, double click on setup, click next a lot and you’re done
