Old laptop with a port cover that I removed to uncover what appears to be a mini PICe port. Not sure if I can change title
Does having the port automatically mean it will support a mini PCIe ssd? If not, how can I check? Would it be possible to check if it supports mSATA also?
Can't find any...
There are better models and worse models.
For example, this model is rated pretty well at a nice price. Just wish they continued with smaller models when everyone else went small.

Side button placement in general is hit and miss for each person as everyone's hand is slightly different. With most mice, it seems the front is a tad tall too tall so my ring finger is draped over the side and exerts some pressure on the side, an unfortunate design if there were side buttons on...
Interesting. I haven't been on these forums much lately but would've recommended the green on black VFD as opposed to the black/grey/white on blue, which are slow and cheap. It's cool and all, especially when included with an aluminum HTPC case for $40 after rebate but its viewing angles...
My 2nd gen i3 Dell Inspiron 14z gets 7hr with wifi and min brightness. 8hr wifi off. Don't know how different 3rd gen core i based 14z is. The 13" Vostro with same battery was just as efficient if I recall so slightly longer battery life due to smaller format.
But yea... tablets are probably...
USB3 version of Challenger is a good buy at $40 right now. Builder friend uses it for his own budget case.

However, you'd want at least at least a 60gb SSD to make it useful anyway. I supposed you could get away with 32GB...
There's no "correct order". It's just that installing Win 7 on UEFI (and maybe Win 8) requires extra work that wasn't documented anywhere on Microsoft's sites & forums that I could find.
What open-source software are you using to acquire the start button? I found something that was intriguing...
Ahh... finally found my own answer. I knew it was something to do with UEFI. And yes, unetbootin should be able to create any bootable USB.
I had found a thread with details about the EFI\Boot files but this is the first time I've seen the part about dismounting the wimfile. For any that run...
Yes, that was one of the things I found through google. Turned it off and neither mounting in Win 8 (same error) nor booting from USB worked. Tried 2.0 & 3.0 ports but neither found anything (saw flash drive LED solid on for a few seconds) before booting into Win 8.
Just remembered someone...
Not according to some online. I have not found a single case where someone installed Windows 7 after Windows 8. Someone had upgraded to Win 8, backed up, reformatted, re-installed Win 7, restored Win 8 and used EasyBCD to get both OS to show.
I can't get Win 7 to install. Using the ISO in Win 8...
Long story short, attempted to create Recovery disk from a new Win 8 laptop on my external hard drive in an unallocated space. Not only did it somehow fail, now my TB drive is completely unallocated. I'm guessing Windows 8 file system screwed it up.
I'm using Minitool Partition Recovery and...
Have a new Win 8 laptop and would like to dual boot Win 7 as well. No optical drive and only a recovery partition. Google only turned up one post saying the file system is incompatible so it's necessary to install Win 7 and then Win 8. But I don't have any media to reinstall Win 8 with unless...
