Although that card is adequate, thinking about putting a different one in. Forgot I had a bluetooth wifi combo card. Feeling like that would be a good idea given that the only way I can add anything to this box is USB and KB and Mouse need one each, unless I go to a PS/2 Y converter, then one, but that's still 20% of them. So using BT keyboard and mouse would get that back. Think it's an Azurus or something like that. Once upon a time I thought I had an intel combo card, but maybe installed it in something and forgot.

On our way now .. see attached

last 2 days I had tried to go back to windows 10 on my potato PC and failed.
It installed but for the extended security updates I used an alternative Microsoft account on a pc with a digital license already activated on my main Microsoft email address.
It said it was ESU enabled but still showed missing updates message after windows update.
I tried all the fixes nothing changed it was frustrating
It then got nasty.
Images vanished from folder.
Video games became laggy.
Please learn from my mistake if you already activated ESU with an email account do not use an alternative email address if you reinstall windows 10 and do the process again will fail internally and silently.
Maybe someone could verify this because I also thought i was hacked and changed every damn password I had on planet earth.
