Laptop Turned Off During Windows Update

I recently upgraded the OS on an old Windows laptop from Win 7 to Win 8.1.  After the update, I found that the SD card reader in the laptop no longer worked.  A BIOS and/or driver update was needed, which the manufacturer no longer supported. This SD to USB reader came to the rescue!   Transfer speed is excellent.  It is also fully compatible with my UHS-I SD cards and USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports. Highly recommended and five stars!

I use this to make system images on Win 7 Pro... before I do windows update (just to be safe, because, you know, microsoft).  Priced right and works for me.  Generally takes two of these to make a system image of my C: drive with 115 GB on it.  Good safety net.

I love my laptop, its fast and works great. My desktop is Windows 7 pro and this comes with windows 8.1 home. I just need to upgrade it to pro and I'm good to go.

Wifi has been flaky on my Netgear R7000 since a firmware update. Plugged this in, set it up over my flaky wifi, then turned off the old wifi with almost 0 downtime. Easy.

I like the idea of being able to update firmware and make changes to a lens. The software for the USB Dock requires a computer with Windows 7 and newer although I have the previous version, Windows Vista. The download went fine and the software seems to work with Vista. The firmware of my 18-300mm lens was up to date. I played around with the focus settings but have not made any final settings. Very easy to go back to the default settings. I plan to buy other Sigma lenses that this will work with.

I just plugged things in and it worked. The bios is simple enough to navigate. It was able to update all of its own drivers through Windows update. Make sure to follow the QR code on the box to get a PDF of the manual; the quick-start guide that's included in the box is pretty inadequate. (Doesn't tell you which DIMM slots to start with, or how to access the m.2 ports.)

My computer front ports stopped working with a Windows 10 update, and I could not get them to work again. But my rear 3.1 ports were working fine. So I saw this little unit, and bought it at B&H's low price. It's plug and play, and functions perfectly. I plugged it into a rear port, and double-sided taped it to the computer top. It has a power button that once turned on, never has to be used again. Turn the computer off, turn it on again, and the hub powers up with the computer. Perfect, and an easy fix! I can high-speed transfer to my USB sticks again!

We had an issue with an old adapter for a 3rd monitor Setup after a recent Windows Update. After we could never get it to work consistently and 2 different Staff setups. After installation of the StarTech Slim USB 3.0 to HDMI External Video Card Multi Monitor Adapter we have had no more issues. Works Great! You should purchase and purchase from B&H Photo!! No one is better than B&H!!!!

After a recent Windows update caused display driver issues, I needed to change to a different video input and my display didn't have built in support for DisplayPort. While it took a minor reconfigure for Windows to recognize the new connection, it's been working perfectly ever since.

I have a MacBook Pro dual-booted with OS 10.9 and Windows 8.1 Update 1. This adapter works on both, without any issues. The manufacturer has the latest drivers available on their website.
