    [SOLVED] WiFi for PC?

    Question Do I need to convert my C drive from MBR to GPT to instal an NVMe SSD?

    Well firstly no. its not REQUIRED but it is recommended. If you stay with MBR then you cant use UEFI so your mobo has to run in legacy mode and you lose out on some mobo features. Secondly yes you can convert MBR to GPT but then you have to remember to change it in your BIOS from legacy to UEFI...

    Question Windows 10 only seeing half of RAM

    Just going based on the "features" it says this board has. Not sure if it is something you can control or just built into the mobo. Scroll down about half way. It kinda just sounds like a built in "feature" https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/SABERTOOTH_P67/

    Well honestly speaking what is your budget? If you want a budget laptop I'd say check out Best Buy and get an Asus, Acer or Lenovo. They tend to have decent specs and be on the cheaper side. Most of those will either give up on an SSD or have a lower end graphics card but again if you are just...
