Well, I decided to look into this USB 3 socket scenario ...... things took an immediate turn for the worse when I pulled out the PC from it's hole ........ the HDMI "mini socket" didn't like that idea and promptly spat out a few pins ......
What manufacturer would use only one piddly fart mini HDMI socket on a graphics card that weighs several kilos?? ....... derr!
....... I de-dusted it and connected it to the screen using the alternative older video socket ....... "boot management not found"!! ........ I looked to see if anything was untoward but saw nothing ........ rang my friend and he said to bring it over ...... it takes two to get the thing out of the boat and and my friend lives on the second floor ...... two days later he said he'd found a plug not fully inserted and to come and collect it ........
Anyway I got it home and working ...... I think the paracetomol helped but my osteopath advised that I hang upside down from the ceiling for a day or two ... vertigo set in after only a few minutes ..... so I doubled the paracetamol dose ..
....... now I look back on it, why the hell did I buy this thing ????
...... all in all I'm absolutely delighted to have it back working with all the same USB 3 issues .....
.... all in all I realize that my fixed infinity focused eyes are just not what they used to be .... however my glasses collection is blooming .......
Maybe I'll look out for a decent S/H laptop that has it all in one package, Windows 10 and USB3, I think my back and my liver will appreciate that !!
