How do I know whether my disk C: is on the SSD or on the HDD? [on hold]

I bought an SSD and I cloned the system from the HDD to the SSD using the Minitool Partition Wizard, then changed the boot order in the BIOS and rebooted. I have two disks called OS visible in the File Manager. One is active (C:) - but how do I make sure that it's on the SSD? I open "properties" of drive C: in the File Manager, but there is nothing to indicate where it's located in the physical sense (SSD or HDD).

    I believe this question is clear enough and not too broad. OP needed to know about the appropriate tool to get them the information they require, and gave us sufficient information in their question to make that clear.

You find this information most easily in Disk Management.



Open your start menu and begin typing "disk management", once this application shows in the results open it.



You'll now see a list of all of the disks on your computer and the partitions on them and the drive letters associated with those partitions.

            How to calibrate 16:9 built-in touch-screen to a 4:3 resolution?

            Image
            up vote 0 down vote favorite I need help with an issue we're facing in a project where we are moving from a Windows-based POS environment to one running on CentOS7. The problem consists of a number of factors, please find the details below: The supplier of our POS application will only deliver an application that is hard-coded to run in a 1024:768 4:3 format. The hardware we are using is a POS unit from HP that has a built-in 16:9 touch-screen. The employees using this solution is not supposed to see nor have access to anything but the POS application.

            QoS: MAC-Priority for clients behind a repeater

            Image
            1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range. The MAC addresses of users behind the Repeater are not listed : The purple MAC is not listed in the AP-Clientlist. Its related to a device connected via the TP-Link repeater. Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
