    [SOLVED] I need to get a new SSD, want to keep win7 pro64, but want encryption. Help?

    I have realized my plan was not a good one. So as I responded to the others: What was I thinking? I suffer from Parkinson's and looking at this post again today, it makes no sense. Last night I realized that probably my best move is an entirely different direction. Having tried W10, and...

    Bahahahaha! Love the guy stepping out for some fresh air, LOL. You're absolutely right. As I posted to another response: What was I thinking? I suffer from Parkinson's and looking at this post again today, it makes no sense. Last night I realized that probably my best move is an entirely...

    You're absolutely right. What was I thinking? I suffer from Parkinson's and looking at this post again today, it makes no sense. Last night I realized that probably my best move is an entirely different direction. Having tried W10, and not being at all impressed with it, and not wanting to...

    How can I get ethernet port lights to front of computer?

    But . . . do they flip things horizontally or vertically, or both? I need a mirror that does both, LOL :D

    USB 3.0 ports not working Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P

    I keep seeing all the same runaround answers to this problem, and had the same exact problem myself, and spent all day messing with it the dead USB3.0 ports on a new Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P (rev2.1) mobo. I finally typed that board info into a google search and added the words "driver download"...

    How can I get ethernet port lights to front of computer?

    That's great! :lol: Okay I tried turning the computer around, but all the cables are in the way now, and I can't see the on light now, so I don't know if it's on or not. I tried the mirror but now the LED indicators on the Lan Port are backwards, so now they read backwards, or is it upside...

    How can I get ethernet port lights to front of computer?

    On the back of my computer, the LAN cable socket has two indicator LED's that I would much rather be on the front of the computer case. How can I accomplish that? Is there some sort of 3'-4' extension cable that would have those LED's on the female end? Thanks

    Using an existing w7x64 SSD in a new build with a new key

    Well, harrumph. LOL. But I don't wanna be the test subject..... I figured there was some secret coded file in the BIOS that the OS was attached to, and once that new code was in the BIOS, I could swap out the drive with the new unadulterated pristine OS with my totally convoluted and...

    Gigabyte's "supported memory list" 2 and 4GB???? Seriously?

    Thanks for all the answers. I guess my difficulty was in understanding why, if the info on their website is so old and incomplete, they tell you that you MUST check with their old and incomplete compatibility list. Makes no sense to me.

    Using an existing w7x64 SSD in a new build with a new key

    My speculative questions were based on the seemingly limited problem of the OEM key being slaved to the mobo, and that otherwise there wouldn't be a *problem*. I would think that whatever settings in the old copy of Win7Prox64 that I apply over the new, would be what I am going to have to do...

    Using an existing w7x64 SSD in a new build with a new key

    In other words, if the big problem is the old OEM key, and I have a new one, why would all the settings and such have to be redone?
