4GB is quite less for Windows 10 may be that's why it is not retaining the data after resuming from sleep mode.
Try this in your new PC, you should not face this problem

My desktop has Ryzen 5 3600 Hexa Core 3.59GHz along with 16GB Corsair RAM single unit. This is running only a bit faster than my laptop. I fail to understand what Windows 10 wants in order to run things smoothly?

Minimum of 8GB RAM and an SSD.
You are saying you are facing this sleep mode problem even with 16GB RAM?

Sleep mode wastes battery, use hibernate instead.
That is a good config for running linux, not windows 10. If that i5 is 5200U, then it is 2C/4T processor and 6 generation old. Your laptop needs a full cleanup + thermal paste replacement.

Acer XV272U is a good budget model. Otherwise LG 27GL850 or Asus one, or Samsung Odyssey G7 for top of the line.

QHD means 2560 x 1440, FullHD is 1920 x 1080.

Can anyone help me identify where the hell are the damn M.2 screws? The WD SN550 NVMe SSD didn’t came with it.
Below are the screws of motherboard:

The screw should be 2.0 mm (diameter of top) x 3 mm (height) in size.

And how am I supposed to measure that?
SaiyanGoku

Use a ruler. IIRC ios used to have an app or camera feature which can measure lengths.

Oh man! Why such a simple installation has to be sooooo complex?

I just booted up my desktop & noticed that the screen resolution automatically changed to 1024*768 from 1600*900.
Then I changed it myself to 1600*900 but viola! Now I have blackbars above and below on the monitors.
This piece of sh!t operating system never ceases to amaze me.

Correct screw can be found out by its measurements. Or you can use hit-and-trial method to see which one fits.Oh man! Why such a simple installation has to be sooooo complex?

I can't magically pinpoint which one is correct from your picture without knowing the scale and knowing why you pulled out all the screws from the motherboard out just for this. The correct one might be one of the two screws in middle left or one of the four smaller screws in middle bottom.
BTW, no ssd or hdd would come with the mounting mechanism (like screws or trays), motherboard oem has to include those.
Have you installed/updated the graphics driver to latest version? Go in device manager & confirm display adapter is showing intel HD/nvidia/amd.

Sometimes motherboard manufacturers place the screw in slot itself. Check in m2 slot if the screw is already placed.

its strange that you are having so many issues with windows 10-i have installed and used win 10 even on old core 2 duo pcs but didn't run into any such problems.I just booted up my desktop & noticed that the screen resolution automatically changed to 1024*768 from 1600*900.

The typical notion that windows is trash and linux is gold is largely over-exaggerated. Linux may be better than windows in some areas but typing several lines of code into the terminal even for simple tasks like installing programs,configuring hardware etc is a frustrating experience unto itself and not everyone has the time or the patience to put up with something like this.

I’m not a linux guy. I’ve been using iOS since 7.5 years and never looked back. Now I want a taste of MacOS.
