Windows 8.1 home networking! Just fucking work, will you! PC has a homegroup established, and will tell me its password. New laptop can see the PC, and wants to join the homegroup. So, following instructions it is giving me, I enter the homegroup password. After a minute of thinking, it now decides it can no longer detect the network, even though it is telling me it is there, and wants to join it, and would I like to put in the password - again. Aaaaand again, and again, and again..... Oh fuck it, its quicker to just go upstairs and put the stuff on a USB stick and put that in the laptop.
And why does it copy to the laptop's SSD at around twice the speed anything will copy to or from the desktop's OCZ Revodrive PCI-E hybrid drive which claims a transfer speed twice that of the SATA SSD? In both cases they are reading to or from the same USB3 stick. that Revodrive is kack, its going in the bin. I'd ditch it now, but I've blown a lot of money on the laptop. Now, it did have a warranty, even though it was refurbished. Can I just send it back as failing to meet the specs? It seems to be acting like it doesn't have an SSD strapped to the back of the hard disk.
