It worked!! Thanks for everyone's input Steps I took: 1) I associated my Windows 10 license with my Microsoft account as user SkyNetRising suggested before I started new build. 2) Created installation USB for Windows 11 with my Windows 11 laptop 3) Installed Windows 11 onto newly built PC (2TB...

Steps I've taken so far: I just linked my Microsoft account to my windows 10 license. My thought now is to create a USB media windows 11 drive (from another laptop running Win11) and then just apply the original Windows 7 license key from the package that I got 10 years ago. This should save me...

Ok Thanks SkyNetRising. I'll follow these steps. I have Windows 10 Home edition now. My plan is to transfer it over and then upgrade to Windows 11 via Microsoft free upgrade as all the new components are Win 11 compatible. I assuming I just create the USB media creation drive for the Windows...

I bought new PC hardware and want to transfer my Windows 10 license from my old computer (it was originally purchased as OEM Windows 7 and then upgraded to Windows 10 for free via Microsoft). This existing windows 10 license is currently installed on a 256 GB SSD. Can I transfer this license to...

Does video editing software prefer Intel CPUs with quick sync (integrated graphics such as 770) vs the new Ryzen CPUs? I am using Corel Video Studio Ultimate and there is an option to select Intel Quick Sync, Nvidia CUDA or AMD but I want to know what real world performance is like. I’ve read...

Hi everyone I want to increase the performance of my work laptop but it has soldered RAM (single 4GB with no room for expansion). The CPU is an i5-4300U which is good but the limited 4GB RAM is brutal for using multiple applications or multiple tabs in web browsers. Keep in mind this is a work...

Do you try a BIOS update on the motherboard?

I have what is likely a very simple question but I can’t find a concrete answer on the forums so thanks in advance for any advice. I have an ASUS GTX 660 GPU (GTX660-DC2O-2GD5). It has 2 DVI, 1 HDMI and 1 DisplayPort outputs. I currently have a dual monitor setup and both are connected via DVI...
