Hello again. I've taken the advice of SevenForums to try AOMEI to clone a disk. The operation hangs at 99%. The Screen screen says you can exit after 3 minutes but how to do that at 99 percent rather than 100? I do not know the keystroke command to get to what they recommend at Task Manager to do any sort of completion. This is a test operation so I'm just leaving it on until I...

I want to buy an used Samsung Galaxy S7 on eBay providing the ESN is good and all that rot. Right now I have a very old S4. My service is Cricket which uses AT&T towers. Can I just buy a S7 that's compatible with AT&T or does it need to be with Cricket? Also, the SIM card in the S7 I believe is smaller than what I have now. I've read you can cut it to size, but I don't want to mess with...

I don't see anyplace where I can open that window or make these adjustments. Any ideas what I can do?

My thinking is that this would reduce the disk activity...

But every time I reboot my computer, Windows resets it to 8. I can't figure out why, and would just like to have it always stay at 6. I am using a Logitech G700s mouse, although Logitech's software and drivers for the mouse...
