Topic Wiki

I figured that even this thread can have a wiki.
If your computer or phone is giving you issues:

• Please read this before posting: 4 Reasons Why IT People Ignore Your Requests for Help
• Restart the computer. Hopefully this will take care of any issues
• If your problem has not yet been solved, try to Google it. There may be a very simple solution
• On a Windows computer, a system restore may do the trick.
(This is a work in progress, please feel free to add whatever you may feel is helpful)


Please post whether or not the problem was fixed

If it's this one (and probably if similar) then it does support it.
It's not exactly that one but probably close enough (mine is also called "New" but it has a 10th gen processor, it's about a year old).
So all I need to do is buy a USB C laptop charger? Do I need to look for any specifics besides wattage?

Considering you have a usb c to usb c cable already, all you need is a PD wall brick. 45 - 100 watt should all work.

I have this laptop from a previous deal.

 It's a great laptop, but whenever transferring files from one device to another or copying to my computer, or from my computer to a phone or Sd card which is in the sd card slot in the laptop it takes forever.       What can I do to speed up the process? Is it connected to the ram? Intel core? Or what's causing it to be slow? Upgrade the USB ports if that's possible?

Do you have USB boot enabled? Is the USB showing in your boot options?

It doesn't seem the case, does the USB have a windows installation?
