This video shares an experience I had where my Asus laptop would not boot and I had to switch to a backup laptop and the backup ended up corrupting the data on one of my storage drives that had Windows 11 installed. PS I hate Windows 11 and I only use it for audio processing and some video rendering. Part of it was my fault and part of it was that this dell software ran automatically without my consent. I wanted to share some takeaways from this whole ordeal. If anybody knows of valuable tools that can retrieve corrupted video files feel free to share. Most of the corrupted videos are in HEVC codec.

🚨!! Guys I got back the laptop in the mail and it turns out they replaced the entire OLED module and the main board, and the unit was in warranty. I have my suspicions about why they may have done that. Anyways, a lot of the data on the drive was corrupted thanks to the dell automatic OS recovery software that ran automatically. At Least 400GB of video footage, and other files are corrupted/unrecoverable.

When i worked in IT, we used to have so many different brands we had to deal with.

Asus/Dell xps/Surface were always a pain... always breaking, always had driver issues, when you take them apart you need a trillion different screwdrivers etc.

Toshiba/lenovo were easy well built, we had toshiba going back years that never needed anything fixed on them. The only thing annoying with lenovo was their docking stations.

I'm by no means an expert... and everyone has their opinions but that was my experience.

That's why I use ThinkPad. Why don't u have a NAS backup instead? Just plug HDD into router. What software do u use to sync up files on laptop to backup drive?

So I have a dell G7 15 which for 5 years I've used specifically for trading. The fan runs like crazy! One of the reasons that I found out was IKBR uses Chromium engine for TWS. Chromium is a power hungry mess. I use the Dell because Microsoft has native multiple monitor support, and MAC doesn't. However, the new M4 Macs are coming out soon and have this feature now. The new ARM chips are fantastic. I will be trying one out when they come out and after I see the several YouTubers I follow test them. Once I verify that the new Macs can work for me...( Full disclosure, I have an M2 Mac air and its great).The Dell and MS products are gone forever. BTW, love the videos, you've helped me immensely in my IKBR journey. Thanks

How do you know the files are corrupted, when you cant read the Linux files in windows ? Just wondering if you have a false positive - so-to-speak. .... Sorry this happened bro, wish I understood Linux a bit more to have some ideas. Mutahar (someOrdianry Gamer) Canadian guy on YouTube is a big Linux user, wonder if he has any ideas. I have a weird feeling the files are saying corrupt, because Windows cant read the files and doesnt understand the file structure
