✨ New Samsung Galaxy Book3 review is out on Notebookcheck.net! Intel Core i5-1335U shines bright! 💻 #SamsungGalaxyBook3 #NotebookReviews #IntelCorei5 - What specs matter most on your laptop?

Not long after the courier had dropped my parcel, I was into building that replacement for my old HP #desktop #computer

Under the hood a current gen #IntelCorei5 13600K and 32GB DDR4 #Memory with 1TB of #NVME storage.

It was the first time that I could properly test drive #Windows11 which I had heard so many #glowing comments about (sarcastic btw).

I didn't believe the popular opinion entirely on Windows 11 as people always get grumpy about the new versions but boy was I in for a bit of fun!

The first ISO I downloaded failed to copy to a thumb drive 3 times in total, before I downloaded one via the official tool. First boot following install had no ethernet connection, so it wouldn't let me get anywhere and once relocated to a connection gave me no insight into why after completing some initial steps it went #blank on screen for a bit, so there was some initial confusion rebooting before it finally got going.

Next, it decided to crack the sads and reboot while I was installing #drivers a few times, before I isolated some causes for concern (which included BIOS updates).

That wasn't the end for troubles mind you, while installing #AdobeCloud I was presented with issues accessing Visual C++ Redistributable msi installer files, which I discovered after trying to reinstall a few of those, could be potentially remedied by adjusting the virtual address space that 32 bit apps have access to via bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA.

Now that I've got an #audioeditor and some #videoediting software installed, we seem to be running stable....but I can imagine that most users would be ready to chuck the computer out of the nearest window hours before I got the darn thing working.

Think I need a bit of #Sleep now before I get a chance to do some more with the system!
