    I'm a bit late to this thread but will add that I thought "Better Call Saul" was excellent, and just as good as Breaking Bad except for the last series which was apalling. I get "slow burn" but for me the "slow burn" went out! And by the seasin finale I just wasn't interested and the ending was...

    Ah, I see that in the manual now. Sorry to be thick - will that be dependent on where PCS will have plugged attached it to the motherboard? Or is it pretty certain that what it is attached to will make it USB 3.0?

    PCSPECIALIST Are the ports on the top USB2 or USB3? (feeling dumb)

I have only used the USB ports on the back of the machine, for keyboard, mouse and external drives and a card reader. I can identify USB2 vs USB3 here by the usual colour convention ie blue...

    PCSPECIALIST Its all so confusing

    I may have misunderstood things here and I apologise if I have. You can select multiple files at once and then change them all away from read only by unticking that box. There are several ways of selecting multiple files in Windows.
