About this deal

Doing this needs to be done on your laptop before you attempt to re-install, although you can do it from another machine it’s just easier to do it before you destroy the existing data and operating system. Navigate to This little laptop works a treat for me. Despite Curry’s sales people trying to put me off. It’s no power house and it definitely won’t replace your daily drive if you’re a graphic designer or needing anything demanding. But for writing blog posts, or administering machine remotely – which is what I wanted it for, it is absolutely perfect.

This depends on your level of computer experience. If you’re familiar with tinkering around with hardware then it’s super easy to upgrade the storage in the Geo Flex 2 in 1. But it helps to know what you’re dealing with. Fortunately, this is something I’ve just done and I can guide you through what you’ll need and how to do it. I had another look in the BIOS but theres no network settings at all, I’ve gone through every menu that I can open and I can’t see anything that would resemble turning on/off a WiFi setting. Windows 10 comes with a handy feature called Storage Spaces which helps reduce clutter and alongside this you can also setup where New Applications are installed, New Photos, New Music etc can also be set to be stored on the USB drive instead. This reduces the need to fill up your C: drive eMMC storage and helps this machine run much nicer. Watching Netflix on a train or playing Minecraft are equally well handled and for the money I really think you actually just can’t beat this little box.The problem is that under my device manager there isn’t a driver installed for the network adaptor, and it doesnt show up under hidden either – so I’m guessing it wasn’t installed.

Where can I download the drivers for my Geo device?

Curry’s PC World are notoriously bad for providing support, although I am only going by historic anecdote here as I’ve not used them for support issues for quite some time so they may have improved a lot. But, another spin off benefit ( haha, spin off – hard drives, see what I did there? ) of this upgrade is that the eMMC storage that comes with the laptop is pretty slow. You can google eMMC versus SATA for the reasons why and how different they are performance wise. x USB2.0 connected SDCard reader. Don’t use this for regular storage though, it’s too slow. But, it does allow you to get photos off your digital camera quite well.

Having said that, when I broke the laptop by installing PrimeOS onto the main eMMC and finding it didn’t work quite as well as I’d hoped, I also broke the restore image partition. This meant that I couldn’t re-install Windows directly from the laptop.Don’t use the SDCard interface that comes with the Geo Flex – it’s a USB2.0 interface and horribly slow by comparison to either the eMMC installed or a USB3 thumb drive. P.P.S. If you’re a bit more adventurous, you can upgrade the storage space on the Geo Flex 2 in 1 – instructions are available in this article. It won’t do what you want it to do”– she exclaimed, “It’s really only meant to be a kids laptop, it’s really under powered and doesn’t have much storage space either” Curry’s PC World Store Assistant – 2019 Next we need to install it. On undoing the two small phillips head screws that hold the expansion hatch in place, you’ll see a very small port toward the edge of the laptop. Your new drive needs to be put into that port. Incredibly portable – which was my main reason for purchasing. Very thin and lightweight and doesn’t take up much space at all. Great if you’re going on holiday but need a full blown Windows experience to manage things while you’re away.
