Update - my hard drive is most definitely NOT dead!
Updated the firmware, repeated the installation process - worked perfectly. Now to reinstall all my crap, again.

Apparently in Nevada you can own as many guns as you want and dont need to register any of them.
That certainly needs addressing. Right to bear arms is one thing - having more firepower than a small army and not having to register any of it - no.

Ffs... 58 dead now, 515 injured. :/

Well... I have no hard evidence that it's broken.
Its about 3 years old I think. Currently trying yet another reinstall to see if the firmware update helped.

Fifty years ago in London, a pointy hat, whistle and a truncheon was enough to command respect and discourage bad behaviour, but it's all changed and dramatically so in the past 20 years. You get these daft bastards who think the right thing to do is *snip*

Keyboard seems fixed now. Just discovered that my non-working(?) SSD has firmware that's years out of date. So updated that and used Samsung's own testing software which revealed that the drive itself is apparently fine.
Will reinstall it later *snip*

I dunno. None of the scans have found any errors. And I don't really fancy doling out another *!APOUND!*90 for a new SSD if it's just going to be the same.
I have a spare 120GB Samsung SSD somewhere so I might have a go with that. I dunno if I *snip*

in all the scans etc i've done over the last few days, at NO point has windows said ''hang on, your SSD is looking a bit fucked. You might want to swap it out first''.
Not a bit of it... it's happy to just sit there for ten hours knowing *snip*

Well, looks like it all installed perfectly, first time, using the original HDD (which it turns out is 500GB, not 1TB).
But yeah.... frowning at my 250GB Samsung 840 Evo just now.... -_-

I'm pretty sure that you can have all the guns you want - when the ''shooter'' is a coward hiding in the 30th floor of a hotel, shooting an automatic rifle into a crowd of 40,000 people, the outcome is always going to be the same.
That said, I*snip*

Yeah I did. The installation didn't even ask for a key - it just activated itself. But it's Win10 Home now, not Pro as it was before. I dunno how that's happened.

Blitzmax could have been too - and that's why I don't understand why BRL make some of the choices they make.

To cut a long story short...
I bought this laptop a couple of years ago now - it came with Windows 8.
When Windows 10 appeared, it nagged and nagged until I gave in and updated it - I had Windows 10 Pro. All good. Then the Creator's Update came alo*snip*
