Well isn't my face red...That worked. All the ram is working now and there are no crashes of issues.

Sure, I get that. I just was curious how that menu was specifically helpful. 
 
If you didn't try it yet, Windows 11 has much improved window management built in if you hover over the Maximize button. 
 

 

It's fine.
 
You can never have too many backups. A solid backup strategy is more important than any antivirus.
 
If you insist on running a third party antivirus, my go-to recommendation is Sophos. 

Do a clean install of Windows on the old PC, sign in to your account on your new one, should pull the license over. Always has for me, I use a W10 pro I got on eBay for $7 a few years ago, always seems to sync over with my account just fine. 

If you have to ask, the answer is no. If you aren't looking for features specifically in 11 or are just always curious about the latest OS, there is no reason. 

I'd probably go with 21.10 (should be out already?) to get more current packages. The LTS might be more stable, but will have (slightly) older versions of things. If you prefer stability go with the LTS and update once the next LTS is out, should be 22.04.

I'd probably go Pop_OS! since it's usually more up to date than Ubuntu, plus the Ubuntu team has made some weird choices in the recent months (Firefox as a snap for example). That said, they'd both do great for a dual booted system. 
 
Full disclosure, the Distros I'm currently running are Fedora and Arch, so I like stuff more up to date. 
For desktop use, the more up to date release is probably the way to go, with the LTS being more for when you want the system to run for a few years without doing more than security updates, as well as being rock solid stable.  

I haven't kept up-to-date on cross-platform encryption software in a hot minute, but I see that VeraCrypt is still alive and kicking.

Linux should just read your Windows drive without anything special, allowing you to backup the files. 
 
As to the reset breaking - no idea, but it's usually recommended to do a fresh install instead. Don't really have suggestions, could try another reset but I guess that's not even an option since you can't operate it without peripherals.

This, I can do. Thank you so much.

As last resort I would try the development Ubuntu version...Otherwise try Manjaro Gnome

BTW I recently run into something similar, strangely it happened only with my USB 3.0 drive being used as the main OS partition, and only with the proprietary driver installed

Anyway, as I said try what I said here
Remember to press ESC as soon as possible, this should immediately show a verbose output, try also to remove "quiet" and "splash" parameters, if it still doesn't work
 

In your BIOS there should be a boot options menu or something along those lines; in that menu you can set the order in which the BIOS checks your drives for bootable installations. If the Windows drive has a higher priority, the BIOS will check that first and boot Windows without ever checking if the other drive has something on it.
 
Alternatively you can bring up your boot menu, on most motherboard that's done by pressing f12, del or another f key - you can find out exactly what key that is for you by reading your motherboard's manual or looking it up on the internet. The boot menu will let you select the drive you want to boot from.
 
-edit-
by the way, quote or mention me if you want me to see your answers - I saw this by chance because I still had the page open

You can install multiple OS on a single computer.
But last time I installed windows after Linux it just removed the boot loader. Haven't done that lately so I am not sure about this. 

It's possible that maybe the game files got corrupted from a previous update, the graphics settings in the game might need adjusting, or you might need to reinstall your graphics drivers. Try to uninstall and reinstall the game first and see if that changes things.

Good to hear you got it figured out, that seems like a bug in Windows to me...very weird.

No problem! Happy I could help. 

BitLocker isn't a bad choice. There are other options out there, like the open-source encryption software VeraCrypt, but I find that BitLocker is nice because it's usually built into windows.

Kinda find it odd that you haven't come across QR codes before. They are square-style barcodes. Unlike regular barcodes which usually have just string of numbers and letters (ISBN etc.), QR codes can have URLs or more advanced things.
 
@PlayBoyMan, found software called ZBar, which seems to be able to read QR codes. For my uses it isn't suitable, I've been looking for actual software for barcodes to make some banking stuff bit easier.

Most likely the grub configuration got a little corrupt doing the system update.

If you can still boot, you shouldn't worry too much about it. Will most likely be fixed next time you get a system update for grub.

Just delete the partition with Ubuntu on it.

You can boot on Windows installation media and fixmbr or if it was fixboot, dont exactly remember. 
 
1. Diskmgr and delete the linux partition
2. Boot on a Windows boot stick or what ever you have. 
I would delete the entries in nvram aswell. But from linux/before I remove the partition, don't know how to do that from within Windows.

Oh, 1 limitation is that if you close the command prompt window where you have a background process running in it, it will be killed.
It doesn't support background process. So if you run a web server, you run it on a window, and might be best to move that window into a virtual desktop and leave it there, so that you don't close it by accident. It is a current limitation. I don't think it is high in the list to support it, due to the complications and the fact that this is not meant to be a server. This is just for devs.
 
If you are genuinely interested, you can check Windows Subsystem for Linux blog here:
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/wsl/
You'll get to read on what is new and what is being worked on, and how to do some things.

Yup! You can have both Ubuntu and OpenSuse and any other Linux distro that wants to join in (it is all open), and you can remove 1 of of them, or all.
And you can completely disable, remove the whole thing (it is all turned off by default, so you just repeat the same thing but you uncheck the boxes you previously checked)
 
Note: Typo fixed on my previous post

Based on my usage, you can do everything.
Keep in mind that it is limited to Windows, as it runs on Windows. So for example, if you open the command prompt, hit bash, and do a sudo command that affects the system it will fail, despite you sudo it, as the command prompt wasn't open with elevated credentials in the first place. So in this case, if you really want to do root stuff under bash, you need to open the command prompt as admin, and now sudo your commands. Also, you cannot do things that Windows can't, but you can do things that are simple in Linux, and a pain in the ass to do in Windows. So that is the big appeal.
 
The purpose of it, is the same as MacOS with Unix. You can run Linux programs under Windows. It is command line only. You don't have a GUI, but that is not impossible to implement, but performance and support isn't there. So your mileage will vary. Some programs will work better than others. And yes, you can access your Windows files with them. Support is weak, as it is new, but you have good level of interest by the community. Ubuntu is the most active, from what I know.
 
The target of it are back-end web and Android app developers, but even if you do Linux dev and it happen to fit Ubuntu or OpenSuse (Fedora was supposed to be available, but it is still in the works by the community), you can use it. It allows devs to mix the power of Windows with Linux, bringing the strength of both worlds. Linux based OS biggest weakness is being a desktop OS, so now you solve that. So, if you want to run a web server under Linux to test your phone app, for example, you can. You can install Apache and the rest under Linux subsystem, and run your app under an Android emulator (say). Or, another example, you have a Windows program that has a web back-end that will be installed under Linux, you can just run it directly in Windows, and have it communicate between each other. No need to setup a VM, cutting away your system resources, or remote to a server, or break your head in trying to setup a server under Windows.
