misi's looking for a new PC

Cloning took one hour.
Making a system image takes much longer.
Doing it with a USB3 cable to an external USB3 drive, through a USB3 port in the front of the machine.
Well, it is copying D: as well but there is very little to do.
Why is it so slow?

Spoiler: Why?

Needed a torch to find the cause of the mystery:
Because there are 4 USB ports but two USB3 ports only.
I connected the cable to one of the USB2 port.

An annoying, irremovable feature of Windows 10, OneDrive, had to die.

And always sign in with a "local account"

And always sign in with a "local account"

I do it religiously!
No MS account and no PIN.

My old Logitech mouse started to behave on a strange way with the new PC.
I could scroll down with it but not up.
Ok. Let's install the brand new HP wireless mouse AND keyboard.
Mouse working well, the keyboard is terrible.
I couldn't find the keys on it.
Got upset with it and bought a Logitech wireless mouse-keyboard combo.

The keyboard is terrible. I couldn't find the keys on it.

They're those little black square things.

Glad it's all working now.

They're those little black square things.

There isn't a Pause/Break key...
There is no space between F4 and F5, has to count 1,2,3,4...to find 5...
The worst design ever.

Some lovely soft touch keys and a crazily fast mouse:
Logitech Wireless Desktop Keyboard and Mouse Black MK710

Edit: Comparing the keyboards:

 

[Guess]

As I use my computer at night in the dark, I have a LED backlit keyboard. It is easier for me to use and see the letters even during the day.
You can have the individual keys any colour you like. What you can't see are the LED lights at each end of the keyboard to light up the desk around the keyboard.

Lots of keys!
Are they programmable?
