Flash Drives 32 or 64 bit?

$
0
0
I want to purchase a 128G Flash Drive. I didn't realize they come in 32-bit and 64-bit. I don't know the difference or if it even matters. I have 4 64-bit laptops with Window 10 Home. I may install a Linux distro in the future. Does it matter which Flash Drive I get now. Any help is much appreciated. Sorry for what may be a simple silly question, but I haven't used Flash Drives all that much....

Windows Hello not working.

I only noticed this after the most recent update, but not sure that is the cause. I've followed some fix suggestions like removing/reinstalling the Hello driver and the IR front camera driver, but that has not solved the problem. When I go to the sign-in options I see the message "Windows Hello is preventing some options from being shown". Attachment 216036...

Dear Tenforums users, I have recently (I think it started less than a week ago) encountered problems or rather peculiarities with my Lenovo laptop: two blue arrows started appearing on nearly all my files and folders (image files, Word documents e.g.). In addition, whenever I create a new file or folder, the same happens right away. Could a recent update be responsible for this and has anyone...

Any future for digital camera WiFi SD cards?

A few years ago, there was hope for SD cards that could be used to transfer digicam images as they were taken to a smartphone app or a desktop computer. More recently, that hope has faded. Eyefi seems to have gone out of business, and the company that purchased them, which used the Keenai brand name, has shut down their online service and encouraged people to use Toshiba FlashAir, with no...

I just did a fresh Win10 reinstall on Sunday and I always prefer to use the old Windows Photo Viewer from Vista and 7. But when I choose 'open with' then check 'always use this app' for a picture it opens that time correctly but continues to default using the Win10 Photos app on subsequent tries. I've also tried using the Default Programs options and when I choose a different option for photos,...

Last year I did some testing with three computers linked through a Switch and Ethernet CAT6 cables. I didn't have much luck with Homegroups and was constantly asked to return to a Home Network and kept getting cut off. I managed to connect three computers through Workgroup with fewer problems. Is Workgroup a more reliable setup compared to Homegroup?

So, Friday, I was in the middle of some paperwork, when my PC shut off seemingly randomly. No crash, no sounds or beeps, just powered off. I turned it back on, and it turned off again after a few seconds, then turned itself on a couple seconds later, then off, then on, and so on. I managed to get into Windows once or twice, but it rarely makes it as far as that before shutting off again. I took...
