My VoYo tablet BIOS

VoYo BIOS is simple but yet help me to build the WTG bootable disk accidentally.

During my last setting , VoYo boot up as in below

I has to type exit to boot into Windows mode

Then I was able to see both the internal HDD Hynix HDG8a4

and the new NVM HDD ssk

Then I was able to create a bootable Windows 10 version 1909 NMV eDD

in fact both disk appear as

BTW the internal HDD name can only be found under friendly name

Hynix HDG8a4

Mega.NZ cloud drive

Mega is the third altnative cloud drive that I used after I exhaust my Google Drive and One Drive

As you can see I buy lots of smaller HDD

So I am trying to divert lot of of download to free cloud drives and many are fully loaded

I also depending on Desktop or Sync program to link with the cloud drives

as I like to used them as network drives in file explorer

In Mega.nz then I realize I actually end up using the local drive

So in summary.

I learn to use the website to manage the Mega and other cloud drive

and purposely created a cloud drive directory in the Mega website

and upload lot of bigfiles or temp directories

Next I will look into how to make use of the shared cloud drive among different Mega account to distributes all my files of different nature but yet able to access from one computer

Next, I may want to invest on my own local Network drives
