My wife has a PC with some newer hardware than mine.
PC specs:
Ryzen 5 2400GHz
Gigabyte B450M-DS3H-WiFi
24GB Kingston HyperX 2666MHz
Coolermaster Hyper H410R RGB heatsink
Corsair VS450 80+
2 nos. 240GB SSD, Kingston and Gigabyte.
Windows 10 22H2
With the above information it is clear that it is not a ‘COPILOT PC’. I don’t know, TPM2.0 may be there but it is not Windows 11 ready as per Microsoft’s requirements. Yesterday, I saw a hopping 26.45GB missing in system partition i.e. ‘C’ drive. How I detected this? In this PC, I was going to install Photoshop and as per my habit I checked the available space in ‘C’ drive and I saw 68GB out of 99.3GB is used!!! I was shocked because this syatem has nothing installed which can eat up so much space. So, I calculated all the folders’ size, visible plus hidden, present in the ‘C’ drive and saw that 26.4GB is missing. I don’t know where it went, but this is not the only thing. When I went for uninstalling some windows app using Revo Uninstaller, I saw COPILOT is installed. It must be installed through an update, otherwise nothing can installed that in our PCs and I am the last person on Earth to install Copilot. So, Microsoft is doing this without our permission and Microsoft is LYING about Windows 11 requirements. The main requirements of Windows 11 is an NPU and TPM 2.0. NPU is required for Copilot AI. Now, if a software needs certain specifications to be installed, then it will not be installed in that system which does not meet that requirements. But in this case, Copilot did get installed, though without my knowledge. Then, I immediately started uninstalling every unwanted application Windows has installed and the amount of missing space came down to only 26GB. So, my questions are two:
- Where did that 26GB go and how can I recover it?!
- Why Copilot is in that system?!
I also need to find some solutions like properly installing Nvidia GT730 driver in Fedora. Next I have to find some real good video editor which can replace Adobe Premiere or Davinci Resolve because though Davinci Resolve is cross-platform, but installing it Linux is almost impossible except their own version of Rocky Linux and I will not use that as it is built on very old kernel and I cannot compromise on security over a software… sorry. Kdenlive is so so but it is not recognising my GPU, even in Windows. So, it is not usable for me. I think, all these will take a few months and after these will be solved, I will ditch Windows.
