My business partner has an Ailenware laptop sold by Dell. It is a fast machine, and the boot drive is two M.2 drives, striped together to make it one faster drive. One of them has failed and the laptop will no boot at all. He called Dell for support, and that laptop was delivered with Win 10 but it updated itself to Win 11 and they will not help him at all.
He can't even get it to recognize a USB thumb drive as a boot device. I suspect that it is locked out in BIOS so a bad guy can't boot with a thumb drive to gain access and copy data. He will have to figure out how to get the USB to boot to load a recovery version of Windows.
