So, the last time I tired to do something in MMH I was quickly told, by my Win 7 computer, that MMH (along with many other software products or updates) that my desktop was out of date. No kidding. I'll keep it, as I have sooo many tools, etc on it, but need a Win 10 or Win 11 box.
So...Friday I ordered a Win11 NUC from Amazon (Geekom PC was the brand) called a Mini IT 12. I received it on Saturday and spent much of the rest of the day doing the required updates, network setup, account setup, etc etc. Then I installed several packages that were no-nos on Win 7 (so I had them on inconvenient family laptops, etc). Things like MMH, mkvtoolnix, Turbotax, tsmuxer, Dovi_Scripts (for Dolby Vision troubleshooting and editing), etc.
Then I powered down and removed the bottom plate and installed a 2nd hdd, a new 512GB NVMe PCie SSD, and put the bottom plate back on. Easy peasy, right? NOPE! The power buttom will no longer work (and seems hinky, like it doesn't fully depress half the time). Although I also suspected a fuse, I have no idea where that would be in this tiny box (Not sure why I elected to go NUC, frankly). I also removed the new SSD.
I've put a few emails into Geekompc support but nothing so far except a reponse that gave me a new contact in their Amazon support team. Nothing yet.
Question: If I were to buy another identical IT 12 from Amazon, swap out the OS hdd and then return the bad NUC, with replacement NUC OS hdd, would that work (Amazon's return policy is so good)...or do things also get copied to the cpu, etc? Otherwise, it's not the end of the worlkd, I spent only a half day on it worst case. Thx
