    I've used this guy, Dean, a couple of times. Based near Salt Grammar School in lower Baildon. He works from his home so no expensive overheads and his prices are reasonable

    https://www.baildontowncouncil.gov.uk/findmynearest,1060598.html

    BTW What's your impression of Windows 11? Is it worth the hassle of upgrading from 10?

    I would suggest that in relation to your question about being worth the hassle of upgrading. Seeing as it's locked him out......I would say the answer is "NO!"

    That's what I thought may be the case. Not worth the hassle then.

    try get into the BIOS

    turn on the PC, and press the manufacturer's key to open the menus. Common keys used: Esc, Delete, F1, F2, F10, F11, or F12

    is there not a safe mode boot up option?

    I had the same issue with win11 - ever since it auto updated my laptop crashes when it goes to sleep and i need to shut the entire thing down 5 times a day at least to get wifi to work.
