MSI Workstation WS65 15-inch (2019) - Core i7 - Gen 9 (H) - 32GB - SSD 1 TB AZERTY - French

The appliance is now working properly: - On receipt, very well packaged, like new. - Windows 10 installed which is no longer supported from October. - Installed Windows 11, but running poorly, searched and updated to newer "Bios/UEFI". -Quadro RTX 5000 GPU had disappeared, searched for and installed new drivers. Card found and configured, now working correctly. - Computer gets very hot when in use. - I opened it up and removed the battery, while I was at it, installed the crucial 4th generation 1TB ssd, which I had installed on my old desktop 4 years ago. Restarted without a battery and everything worked correctly even after about 3 hours. I installed Ubuntu Studio on the second ssd, and with the "Grub" on the 1st partition of the 2nd ssd, it works perfectly as two separate systems. - This made me think that the PSU had nothing to do, so I bought and installed a new battery from "Batterie msi" (Shenzhen Aolisite Electronic Co.), cost 42.13€; - Now everything works perfectly, but I still had to spend my time making Windows 11 understand that I had changed the battery, because at each boot, if I chose Windows boot, it asked me for my "bitlocker" recovery key. Well, that's done. To sum up, if everything works perfectly today, it's a fairly expensive 5-year-old machine, and even if I'd intended to install this second ssd (I'd asked about it before buying) I could have done without all this fiddling. These are the reasons for 3 stars. Yves Leborgne
