Powered ejection is mechanically and electrically controlled by the drive hardware itself.  You'll have to remove the power cable to prevent it from opening I'm pretty sure.

I hate to debate on which language is the best to start with. What I believe is that if you are really determined you can start with almost any language.
 
Remember if you start with a 'tough' language, it WILL take time to learn. It WILL make you angry sometimes. It WILL make you rethink you decision. But if you stay to your decision and give you 100%, you will learn it eventually and transitioning to other languages will be way(x100) easier.
 
You like Android? Dont directly jump to learn it. If you want to eventually learn Android, start with Java. After you are done with Java, learn Kotlin and THEN learn Android.

Just with any object orientated language. Learning C++ or Java would give you a nice 'head start' when learning any other language(solely speaking from personal experience). Obviously it is relatively to python, it is pretty much  'difficult' for the first time.
 
I suggest you C++ learning site that I used for over a year to learn. learncpp
 
If you go the 'easy' way, sure go for Python. Its a great great language as well. But if you want the 'hard' way, C++ or Java will do the job

I think Macrium Reflect would be a better option

If you learn C++ first, you'll not only have to learn the language (which is vast compared to most), but you'll have to learn how the preprocessor, compiler, and linker all work as well. Additionally you're managing memory on your own, you don't have garbage collection or any of that stuff.
 
For that reason I'd choose python, sometimes it is harder to debug javascript as well even though it's just as easy to write and test with. Once you learn control flows and logical statements and code structure you'll be able to easily grasp other concepts and progress from there.
 
And Java, ugh... I'm biased but I'd probably substitute that with C# if you wanted to learn the equivalent.

I fixed the problem by upgrading to Pro edition. Now it works flawlessly!

Took me a while but it looks like it will only check the size of the last number for every number, so if you have 22, 22, 22, 22, 232 it will call threeDigitChk for all of them, which will output "Not Palindrome" for every one except the last. Maybe remove the for loop out of each of the functions and move the switch statement into the other for loop?
for (int j = 0; j<SIZE; j++) { counter = 0; int num = array[j]; while (num>0) { num /= 10; ++counter; } switch (counter) { case 2: twoDigitChk(array[j], SIZE); break; case 3: threeDigitChk(array[j], SIZE); break; case 4: fourDigitChk(array[j], SIZE); break; case 5: fiveDigitChk(array[j], SIZE); } }  

@Atalia Chez Took me a bit but I have fixed it
#include <iostream> using namespace std; void twoDigitChk(int); void threeDigitChk(int); void fourDigitChk(int); void fiveDigitChk(int); int main() { int counter=0; const short int SIZE= 5; int array[SIZE]; cout << "********************************************************** " << endl; cout << "Enter 20 numbers to check palindrome pattern" << endl; for(int i=0; i<SIZE; i++) { cout << "Enter: " << flush; do{ cin >> array[i]; if(array[i] < 10){cout << "Palindrome number can not have less than 2 digits! Enter again: " << flush;} if(array[i] >99999) {cout << "You can only enter a number having maximum of 5 digits! Enter again: " << flush;} }while( array[i]<10 || array[i]>99999); } for(int j=0; j<SIZE; j++) { counter= 0; int num= array[j]; while(num>0) { num/=10; ++counter; } switch(counter) { case 2: twoDigitChk(array[j]); break; case 3: threeDigitChk(array[j]); break; case 4: fourDigitChk(array[j]); break; case 5: fiveDigitChk(array[j]); } } return 0; } void twoDigitChk(int number) { float b= number%10; if(number/10 == b ) cout << "Palindrome" << endl; else cout << "Not Palindrome" << endl; } void threeDigitChk(int number) { float thirdDigit= number%10; float firstDigit= number/100; if(firstDigit==thirdDigit) cout << "Palindrome" << endl; else cout << "Not Palindrome" << endl; } void fourDigitChk(int number) { int lowerTWO = number%100; int higherTWO = number/100; float fourthDigit = lowerTWO%10; float thirdDigit = lowerTWO/10; float secondDigit = higherTWO%10; float firstDigit = higherTWO/10; if(firstDigit==fourthDigit && secondDigit==thirdDigit) cout << "Palindrome" << endl; else cout << "Not Palindrome" << endl; } void fiveDigitChk(int number) { int lowerTWO = number%100; int higherTWO = number/1000; float fifthDigit = lowerTWO%10; float fourthDigit = lowerTWO/10; float secondDigit = higherTWO%10; float firstDigit = higherTWO/10; if(firstDigit==fifthDigit && secondDigit==fourthDigit) cout << "Palindrome" << endl; else cout << "Not Palindrome" << endl; } The problem was that switch statement was after checking the number of digits in all 5 entered numbers, so it would only call function that checks as many digits that were in the last entered number.
 
Second was that you passed the entire array for the function to check, and you every function went through the whole array. This is not correct.
I changed it so that every function only has one parameter and that is the current number from the array.
 
Third your functions only checked for a match of first an last digit of any length number (this works for 2 and 3 digit, but not for more) so even 12571 would return "Palindrome" which it isn't.
That's why four and five digit ones first get lower and higher digits and than check for a match of all four digits.

A hard lesson I learned, do not approach any girl through texts. Like never ever!
 
If she is not replying back, stop trying to talk to her. Simple as that. That means she DOES NOT likes you, ok?  Dont go crazy over her. There are millions of girls out in the world, you just need to find someone who appreciates you. And now you are gonna be like stubborn, like "Nah man she must be busy thats why she is not replying, I better keep trying to approach her".
 
If she is co-worker, nope stay away from getting relationships with co-workers, a professional environment must be made.
 
If she is your college/uni/school friend, still, do not get into this.
 
 
 
Personally, I have sworn myself that I would never get into any such relationships not until I get a stable job, have my own house, car and things like that. By that time, I would be able to approach girls who are actually grown ups and are too willing to find someone.
 

Now you have induced 'creepy' face of her.
 
I think it is best to avoid her.

Money can not buy emotions. A rich person having a depressed time can not fix it with money nor can a poor person.

I'm gonna give geniune advice.  You can get into a relationship through being a pushover, and I got laid even when I was a pushover.  But here's the deal: 
 
if you worry about not getting a kiss then you are doing it wrong.  If you want to be in a 1 week relationship then go ahead, but if you want to be in a successful relationship you need to stop worrying about girls and worry about yourself.  Workout, bike, read, idk whatever your hobbies are.  Focus on yourself. 
 
Every girl I ever got with while actually being concerned about girls has been a horrible relationship.  Yet if you just don't give a damn, you get into better relationships, and I even get asked out.  But here's the deal, I'm focused on working out, writing my book, and nailing college that I decline.  You should be at that stage if you want a successful relationship. 
 
This might seem super bossy, but it's true. And I was raised by a single mother, I was taught I should be in a relationship and should be highly chivalrous. But while I respect everyone, I don't care about girls or guys as much as myself. And as a result I get greater respect from everyone.  
 
Ive reached that stage, and no matter whether you are like this or not, this is for everyone who was like me.  Someone who gave a shit about girls to the point I wanted a relationship. As a result I let myself down, when I left high school I started focusing on my life.  And people respect me for that, because I've improved myself.  
 
girls want someone respectful and important.  And if you act like their more important than you then your effectively a grain of sand on a damn beach.  
 
This is true advice, take it or leave it but it's from my heart. 

And there's your problem. I'm sorry to break it to you but college professors doesn't have the time to deal with that and it's their job to train their students to become confident publicly. Instead of whining and bad mouthing them, why don't you ask for help like a guidance counselor or a therapist to help you overcome your social anxiety. 
 
Your college professors aren't the problem but instead, you have an attitude problem that needs helping because in real life, not all the time the people around you should compromise to your every whim. 

So your USB Flash drive needs to be adapted. You should have the option in Rufus.
Make sure you set "Partition scheme..." to "GPT partition scheme for UEFI".

UPDATE!
 
Windows is working perfectly now, chrome opens as soon as I click on it!
 
However file explorer is slightly slow but not as slower as it was before. Overall, slight increase in performance and got rid of all hidden crapware aswell.

It should automatically activate it with the key embedded into the computer. The computer came with Windows 10, right?

It’s not. The OEM still provides the image with all their junk on it. 

On a pre-built system, the reset option just reinstalls the OS from an image that (in my experience) is the same as the original Windows installation. Installing from a fresh ISO won't have any junk that an OEM would put on it. 

That's better than using a fucked up copy of Windows though. 

That could be the issue. Use a Windows ISO from Microsoft's site. I've had issues with pre-installed copies of Windows before. 

I would suggest to keep your recovery partition, in the case something nasty happen and you can recover from. Acer, HP, Lenovo budget systems, I don't know about now, but they used to like to put drivers and software only available in their system image, and not available on their website or anywhere else, so that you have to use their recovery image, or send your system to them for "repair" for them to wipe everything and restore to manufacture default (costly service that takes 2-3 weeks).

This is the layout, ignore the bottom most one at the bottom:

 

See my diagram (middle one). The partitions are correct.
Excellent to hear that everything is working great. Open Device Manager and make sure that all drivers are detected in your system, and install any missing drivers.
 
 
You actually can't Just wait until you update your Windows 10 the latest version. Version 1703 Build 15063.xxx.

This is because your USB flash drive or you picked to boot your USB flash drive or you set your system to run as Legacy mode (BIOS emulation mode) in the UEFI instead of UEFI mode.
 
UEFI can only boot from a drive table formatted in GPT format BIOS can only boot from a drive table formatted in MBR. Windows setup is confused, and hence why you get this error message. It sees GPT, but your system is set to BIOS, so it expect and will format the drive as MBR.
 
If you have a "modern" system (2011 or later), you should have a system running with a UEFI instead of the BIOS (1975 technology). Make sure your system is set to UEFI mode, CSM is disabled, and SATA Controller is set to AHCI mode, and boot your USB Flash drive in UEFI mode (can also appear as "EFI" in the boot selection menu), and that your USB flash drive was prepared for UEFI systems with Rufus (or whatever you used, as you didn't use Windows Media Creation Tools as you needed to do it on a Mac, from my understanding)
