Talking with the folks in the local #vintage / #retrocomputing community, they clued me in that the #ThinkPad #RAID is a steaming pile of 💩 and not worth the trouble.

🤷 Oh well. Thanks for cluing me in

So I swapped out the two testing #NVMe drives I was using and reinstalled the original sticks - to have #windoz10 demanding for the #bitlocker recovery key. 🤦‍♂️

Well, time to wipe & install #windoz11 then.

Install went fine, only 4 rando #drivers to find for all #devices to be recognized and working.

Using my #CTT scripts to install the majority of applications, then to remove the #spyware #bloatware and other garbage #micro$oft added to #windows11

Then migrate my #data from my other ThinkPad. Welcome to my #sunday #funday

3/2

The one issue I was able to figure out with this #lenovo #T430s was printing on #windoz11

With my #HP #laserjet using #jetdirect cards with an local #IP address have worked fine over the years (and the cheap toner cartridges make it all the better)

But when installing 11, adding and using printers over the #network is nothing but frustration. The #printer would not add/configured, or if it did get added then test prints would sit in the print queue and fail. I could ping the printer, but there was no visible communication with it.

Searching at length, I fumbled across this post

Windows 11 22H2: network printing switched to RPC over TCP
ghacks.net/2022/11/02/windows-

So Microsoft changed the default print related communications for endpoints in #Windows 11 version #22H2 Endpoints now use #RPC over #TCP instead of over Named Pipes.

If you are in this situation, there are some registry edits that can be made manually via #powershell or via #grouppolicy that are documented in that linked article.

I made the edits on the #T430s and am now able to print to my #4050TN Now, for some reason my #ThinkPadP1 is still having issues with printing after the #registry tweaks, with test jobs still sticking in the queue. More #troubleshooting is needed, or I may just #wipe & #reinstall

Challenges with #windoz10 #windoz11 on a #thinkpad #T430s

Good old #intel #intel_corp never bothered to update & release #drivers for the HD #graphics #4000 #graphics4000
The driver is for #windows8 only

I figured this out by having the #windowsSecurity alerting that #coreIsolation - specifically #memoryIntegrity could not be enabled. With #idgkmd64.sys being released of July 2015.

If you remove the driver, the laptop defaults to the base Microsoft video driver with the horrid resolution, but you can enable memory integrity at this point. Reboot, and windows will alert that the driver cannot load because a security setting is blocking the loading of the driver.

I have dug around at length, there is no updated driver for Windows 10 or 11 (abandoned by Intel). I have tried windows update, Intel's own driver update tool, and the usual ThinkPad forums with no success. Ive found multiple posts of less experienced folks trying to decipher this issue and situation, all threads become dead ends.

So either you use the default Windows #VGA driver with memory integrity enabled and horrible resolution, or the #windows8 driver release with memory integrity disabled. Looks as I need to have a hardened configuration with #AV #EDR on this #T430s to manage the risks - more on that approach later.
