let me summarize the status here and see how can you help me to achieved and review my progress for what has been succeed and failed:
‐------------‐
1. KC868-SERVER:

1. Install home assistant operating system lesson 4 (Done)
2. Add-on Samba and file structure of home assistant lesson 5 
- Samba and file Editor other add-on need it has been installed please see attached snapshot until the server disk space get not enough then i didn't complete this part as i desired.
- I asked question and how much size of USB memory stick or hard disk i can connect and how to move the data to it, your answer review the maximum size that you can connect to the server and you sent me this link https://www.home-assistant.io/common-tasks/os/
But in the link no information on the maximum usb storages that i can connect.
- how this will be fast as well for executing the commands without delay? bearing in mind that all 4 USB for Raspberry pi side are USB 2 the white not the blue on USB 3.0 !
3. Home devices- Multi media that seen by home assistant :
regarding the devices seen on the Home assistant not seen completely for example:
3.1 only one home theater Pioneer VSX-LX55 old ( 2012 ) that has been seen , other home theater receiver Yamaha RX-V677 B87ED1 not seen ( 2017 )
3.2 only the blu ray device Panasonic DMP-BDT210 but the sony DVD 4k device is not seen
3.3 only one printer HP that seen the samsung printer not
3.4 both smart samsung TVs not seen
3.5 Apple TV can see but can't connect provide error 
3.6 Media network drive has been seen
3.7 My spotify account and app has been seen but not able to communicate with it through pioneer home theater , and when i try to apply seen go to my media drive automatically not Spotify.
3.8 

4. While installing the laptop crashed and blue screen pop up, now i need to re-install the window and rebuild my laptop, it looks something affect while installing the server although i didn't connect any thing to usb except a USB converter to ethernet in order to connect my laptop to my home network ( no ethernet socket in my laptop only USB and HDMI).
is all installation that done above on my laptop to home assistant and server i will need to re-do it again ?

KC-868-A16

i connected with ethernet to main router and power on but i can't see such as other controller to set it up and i searched the installation, pocedures of step up step by step didn't find except the schematic drawing and some in Russian language no English.

Would you please:
1.  review my status above and attached file and write clear answer for solutions
2. send me invitation on Anydesk ASAP to review all my setup done so far and help me for A16 and other Home assistant steps including the MQTT part that i failed to follow your lessons , also back to original problem to install each controller although they had now a static ip address and can seen on my home network if i connect them but can't testing them right now because the Home assistant and ESP has not completely installed and fully set it up.
3. i would't like to re-install the windows and format my c drive before finish the current installation tests together to make sure no further crash to my laptop again after re-install my laptop window 10 and reimage all my applications.

please see the helping attached file for help to know the status.

To enable the USB 2.0 ports on the Compute Module 4, you need to edit the boot config file (/boot/config.txt) and add:

dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host
Then reboot the Pi. Now you should be able to use the built-in USB 2.0 ports!

here are some details:
