Thanks for the help y'all. Much appreciated, I have an anti static wrist strap I can use and it seems that'll be enough for what I need.

I recently acquired a new case for my pc and wanted to purchase an anti static mat for when I move the components from the old one to it. My question is what would y'all recommend? What type, brand etc. grounded of course but I cant seem to find one i'd be happy with on amazon or newegg. Any and...

So I've seen a few articles on windows latest, most recently https://www.windowslatest.com/2020/02/18/reports-windows-10-update-data-deletion-bug/ basically saying it'll hide files in a temp folder, cause bsod and boot errors, etc. a lot of horror stories including even after uninstalling it the...

So another question because I'm more than likely gonna do a totally clean install instead of an upgrade, how do I go about formatting my HDD after doing said install? Will all the old stuff from it pop up when reconnected and I boot up the PC or can I just go in and format it with little to no...

So I can just straight up reformat my HDD and not go through https://forums.tomshardware.com/faq/how-to-cleanup-windows-10-after-an-upgrade-or-clean-install.2458902/ this process? or should I still do that anyway just to be sure I don't somehow have any remnants of windows 7 or any nasties on...

Hey y'all, quick thing and it may have already been answered before but just wanted some info. Gonna go to 10 (yes, shoulda done it a while ago but here we are). I've been reading on doing a cleanup after a clean install and was wondering if that wouldn't be necessary if I went and upgraded...

Not a pre build, just the mobo I got after the old one was shot. I'm not super worried about the drivers since it's been a while since it came out I just don't want to come later and find out I can't install my graphics drivers for some odd reason

The specific concerns were pretty much the 1809 update and the Nvidia drivers. But yeah, I know it's not all perfect, but those two things stuck in my head when I knew I needed to upgrade

Since the day of reckoning is closing in and windows 7 will no longer receive support, I need to switch over I've decided on 10 as opposed to 8.1. I'm seeking advice, warnings, tips and the like on the OS before I switch over. It kind of left a bad taste in my mouth after installing the free...

Thanks for the info, I'll take a look through these but I'm still concerned about running the nvidia drivers on Windows 10

Hey there, I'm looking to buy a gaming laptop and I'd like some advice and input. Something under $1,000 but I don't want to buy cheap either. Also if I can run windows 7 on it (10 has left a seriously bad taste in my mouth and I know nvidia drivers have issues with it unless that's changed...
