• Is it preferred to overwrite old program versions, uninstall before installing the new one, or to use portables?

  You mean something like this? Https://patchmypc.com/home-updater. Source: about 1 year ago

• Existence of Windows Transfer Utility?

  If you want to buy Macrium Reflect you can redeploy your old computer's image on to your new computer - MR sorts out the different hardware driver issues - but quite frankly it's usually best to copy over your personal files, fresh install 3rd-party software with something like Ninite, Patch My PC or WingetUI and then export the settings and app data over from the old computer.

• Microsoft Store in Perpetual Update (I've tried everything Google has had to say but to no avail)

  What I'm thinking now is you may just want to solve this with the nuclear option like this guy did - https://old.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/f4tw3k/cannot_open_any_microsoft_store_apps_windows/ A pain in the ass, but most 3rd-party applications can export settings, and a program like Patch My PC or winstall can reinstall software quickly.

• 10->11 most efficient data transfer method

  Transfer personal files over, use Patch My PC to install 3rd-party apps all at once and quickly, copy app settings over to new machine. Source: about 1 year ago

• Reset & Backup On Win11

  If you image your whole drive and then restore it, you'll be right back in the same exact place you are now. Back up your personal files, 3rd-party software settings (where possible) and browser bookmarks to external storage, do a PC reset from settings using the cloud option, reinstall 3rd-party software with Ninite or Patch My PC.

• Monitor Connectivity Software ???

  Statuscake.com if you just need a simple up/down monitor. Source: about 2 years ago

• basic external monitoring system

  I've had a great time with statuscake.com for my personal and friends sites. They've even improved custom status pages to include an automatically signed certificate too, so you can make a site like status.yourdomain.com... Test TCP connection, specific HTTP/HTTPS query etc. 5 minute intervals for free, more with paid plans. Source: over 2 years ago

• Expired Certificate

  I use statuscake.com for external stuff and nagios for internal. PRTG is good too. Source: over 2 years ago

• Website uptime reporting

  I use statuscake.com for all my personal / friend sites. There seems to be no limit to number of sites to monitor for basic 5 minute intervals in the free account. Source: over 2 years ago

• How to get notified when home loses power?

  I use noip.com for a free domain name and a free plan on statuscake.com for this setup. Source: almost 3 years ago
