Project Old Desktop Renew begins!
Power usage numbers:
Seems to be using about 32W at idle.
Seen a peak of 59W.
Copying data from ext HDD onto PC: 37W.
Concurrently copying from USB to SSD: 42W.
Wireless keyboard & mouse is NOT playing nicely with this computer: cursor jerks around and keyboard inputs lag. Weird. Wired mouse works fine.
Wait… problem is with REAR USB ports; wired mouse only works in front ports, and wireless set is fine in front. Even weirder.
Then it started working. No idea what's going on.
Then it stopped working, even in the front ports. Fuck’s’ake.
Anyway, moving on…
First step is check downloads on this old desktop box to see if I need to back stuff up (yup!)
(Just dumped it all to ext HDD for now; I will probably regret not sorting it…)
Win10 IoT installed!
All updates & programmes installed.
Unraiding: the intel option doesn't appear at boot… It used to pop up “press ctrl + I to RAID” (or similar).
Did some googling and F11 in BIOS seems to access similar functionality. I removed the current raid, made another raid, removed that… I think. Anyway, eventually I was just left with the computer only being able to network boot… very weird. My fiddling didn't touch the boot SSD, and the computer won't boot from USB. More investigation needed.
