How do I enable "Magic Packet" Wake on Lan on my Win7 laptop?
I got a small Win7 laptop on a KVM which I use for my older games, and I have it bolted closed under my desk so it won't take space. Problem is, whenever a hurricane comes and leaves, and I spend a few days without power, I have to shut it down, then in order to turn it back on, I have to unbolt its whole bracket and bolt it back up again once it's on.
So I tried to set up a "Magic Packet" Wake on Lan to wake it up via network, but it doesn't seem to have worked. Anyone got a tutorial for that they can share?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Almost forgot, this is the Magic Packet app I tried using from my other Win11 PC
