    Hard Drive Recovery

    That is an IDE drive and most likely way over 10 years old at this point, as the first of SATA was released in 2003. So what happens when you connect it to a pc? Does it turn on and spin up? You should be able to feel it. Without more info, the drive could be totally dead and could be upwards...

    Can you also tell us what processor and how much ram it has? Anything less than 8gb of ram and it's gonna crawl.

    Games

    Those games were back in XP days. Highly doubt they will run on windows 11. The only thing you can do is install using compatibility mode and see if it works.

    Buy laptop in Hong Kong?

    Probably the wrong key for office. I would say you are just over reacting about the fake windows.

    You do realize it's just a matter of changing the language installed right? Why do you think it's a fake OS?

    USB4 - 40 gig?

    Probably not much until hardware makers transfer over. Regular usb devixes like mice, keyboards and printers don't need that high of transfer speed so I doubt you'll see anything like that come out. Its mainly for external hard drives and maybe a few others.

    You get them through windows updates themselves. No separate place needed to go.

    What type of HDD interface is this?

    There is probably a plastic adapter on the end that converts pins to connect to laptop. Seen that all the time in older models. You just need to pull the adapter off to access pins.

    Backups

    It's a way for a company to make money. Windows backup is probably limited in what it can do. A paid program is most likely customizable for many options.

    HP ENVY 5540 PRINTER

    The reason why you might not be finding this area is because you don't have a regular start menu like windows 7 had. If you want the ability to have that type of start menu download and install open shell from here...

    HP ENVY 5540 PRINTER

    Try unchecking the box where it says let app change printing preferences. Other than that, try printing an email or something. Without testing it myself, couldn't tell you what is going on but at least its properly installed now.
