 ## Supported Laptops
 
-Please see the `Configs` folder for a list of supported laptops.

-Other laptop brands will require you to figure out which EC registers store the fan curve (or just use NoteBook FanControl if your laptop's supported).
+Other laptop brands are not officially supported. You can still try and make your own config, but chances

 ### Why do I need administrator privileges to run this program?

-Try resetting your EC if you have an MSI laptop:
+Reset your EC (MSI laptops only):
 
 Shut down the laptop if it's on (force shut down if needed), then find the EC reset button
 (on the GF63 Thin 11SC, it's a small hole located on the bottom of the laptop next to the charge port)
 and press it with the end of a paperclip (or similarly small object, e.g. SIM eject tool)
 for at least 5 seconds. Try rebooting.
 
-If all else fails, you can try unplugging the laptop's battery (including any CMOS/clock

 ## Roadmap
 
 - [ ] Config UI fixes:
   - [ ] Actually implement the "revert to last saved config" functionality
   - [ ] Implement missing tooltips
-- [ ] Give the program code a once-over before doing anything else
+- [ ] Give the program code a once-over before doing anything else *(Started)*
+- [ ] Add more extra options for MSI laptops (from MSI Center):

+  - [ ] Fn/Win key swap
 - [ ] Config generation for MSI laptops
   - This would only work because many MSI laptops have almost identical EC register locations
