Like you, I use the Bitwarden extension for my browser. But I also use Keepass as a bank for all my passwords like Apple ID and password.

I used Keepass as well, but since I only have like 5 core passwords now, I keep them in doc (double encrypted). One less 3rd party to worry about and I can open it anywhere. I loved Axcrypt, but since they have removed 2FA encryption (password+keyfile) and changed it into a container, it is no longer feasible for opening files and they even refuse to admit it.

I'm trying your configuration, Windows is noticeably faster, even the backups with Macrium are much faster. Thank you. I will keep testing it.
