  1. So I have my old laptop, Acer 4750G, it has Windows 10 installed on it until recently (about until 2 weeks ago) and since I have new PC, I've decided to install Linux on my laptop. So the problem here is I can't seem to go into my laptop BIOS No matter what key I pressed during boot up (officially and functionally it was F2 and/or F12), but neither of them are working "properly". What I mean by "properly" is when I mashing my poor laptop keyboard, it was registered and the text changed as if it were going into the BIOS. But then it skips right away into OS boot, in this case, Windows 10. I uninstalled, or rather, replaces the Windows with Linux (Manjaro, Solus, Arch, Ubuntu, I tried these distros hoping it yields different results, the definition of madness?) but for some reason, it can't detect my Linux installation, and I have 2 different results of "none of my Linux detected" My laptop has DVD drive swapped out with 2nd HDD, and if I keep the HDD connected, it will display the Windows 10 Problem/Repair screen with no button at all (like for badly corrupted installation and in unrecoverable state). But here's the thing, I wipe the drive, and install the Linux on that same drive, why would the Windows Repair screen appear? Is it attached to the 2nd drive? If I pull out the 2nd HDD, it has different result although still in the same problem, when I boot up, after just casually skipping the BIOS, the screen just showing black screen with Operating System not found text appear on the screen. I do however able to boot into the Linux but through unnatural way, I have to plug in my USB that I used to install the Linux -> Choose to boot from the hard drive -> Voila, I'm booting right into my Linux. So, yeah... is there a way to get into the BIOS? Or at least make my Linux detected and actually boot into it without having to plugin the USB? Although it looks cool and seem secure (not actually that secure, as long as the USB has something like RUFUS or Pendrive, you're in) like if you don't have my USB you wouldn't be able boot into the OS. I've tried to unplug the CMOS battery and then placed it again in hope it resets some BIOS memory (is it exists?) and forget that it got leashed by Windows, but to no avail.
  2. The PC has Physical TPM and as far as I know we don't enable the BitLocker, for Firmware/Software based TPM though, I'm not entirely sure, but since it's OEM it probably have one.
  3. What if I only use the CPU and then put it back (the office PC won't be turned on until I put the original CPU back in)?
  4. So I have my PC with Core i3-8100F 2060 16GB And as a part of Work From Home, we can take the office PC back home and it has Core i7-8700 Quadro P400 (yes, P400) 16GB Now, you've might guess it, I want to use the Core i7 in my PC because I think it would be better since I have better GPU and better cooling (not that it matter so much) And if you ask why not put my 2060 to the office PC, because its case is small and the power supply is lower than mine. (the PC is OEM) As the title has suggested, the office PC have TPM installed, So, what would happen if I take the CPU out of the office pc's motherboard and use it on my pc's motherboard, and then for some time in the future when I have to return the pc, I put the CPU back into the office PC's motherboard? Will it somehow disturb its integrity? Or is it going to be fine because TPM's job is only to make sure nothing breaks the system integrity and secure the data? I've only read a little about TPM (so CMIIW), in short, it's basically for securing data with software and hardware capabilities like encryption, and I kinda feel it bounds to every hardware installed when the TPM was present. EDIT: The whole Office PC is OEM (HP)
  5. Don't worry, I've already prepare for that. So, no any OS settings to be changed or tweaks like that? Thanks, but I actually have all required drivers prepared already, so yeah just need to execute the install part
  6. If there's already things / guide like that please let me know. So, recently I've bought a new 240GB SSD for my system drive, I'm going to upgrade my old laptop by upgrading it's main system drive to SSD. And I willing to do the clean setup, the OS I was going to install is Windows 10 Pro. As the title suggest, is there any thing that I should do before and/or after I install the OS ? Or just by Clean Install the OS is just fine as it is ? Thanks in advance.
