+1 Yeah, that's a solid approach. Just make sure to run the PC Health Check app first to confirm compatibility before you dive in. Good luck!

Agreed. Yeah, and sometimes you have to enable the fTPM option specifically for AMD or Intel PTT for that CPU.

Agreed. Yeah, and if you go that route, make sure to back up anything important first just in case.

Yeah, I had the same problem. I used subprocess.run(['snippingtool']) and it worked perfectly for me. Good luck!
