+  laptop-check.ps1 v2 - READ-ONLY laptop performance / battery / throttling check
+  Abyres Support. Makes NO changes. Takes about 1 minute (includes a 30 s CPU load test).
+
+  Run in PowerShell as Administrator:
+    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "<path>\laptop-check.ps1"
+    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "<path>\laptop-check.ps1" -NoLoad      # skip load test
+    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "<path>\laptop-check.ps1" -LoadSec 60  # longer load test
+
+  Output on Desktop:
+    laptop-check-<PC>-<time>.txt      (results + [FLAG] lines + summary)
+    battery-report-<PC>-<time>.html   (Windows battery report)
+
+  Run once PLUGGED IN and once ON BATTERY. Close other apps first.
