OK, please remember that my brain doesn't work right. So "silly questions" is my middle name. :) Can someone give me a literal step by step on what I have to do to download Win 10 to installation media? I have a 1TB external drive, and a 30GB thumb drive. It looks like I'm gonna have to do...

I wanna thank everybody for the help you gave me. I still have a ways to go. Hope I can make the deadline.

I fixed the Macrium issue! I change the file system from exFAT to NTSF. After I install the new OS, why can't I just ask DEVICE MANAGER to find and install the latest drivers?

I have Macrium Reflect on my screen right now and I'm puzzled as to why my external drive, (1TB G-Drive), appears to be full.... and it says, "UNFORMATTED PRIMARY." But in Computer Management, DISK MANAGEMENT, it says, HEALTHY PRIMARY. Did something get corrupted after I formatted the drive so...

I'm trying to make sure Win 10 will be satisfied with the drivers installed for various devices on my computer... And if I have to update drivers, should I do it before or after the Win 10 upgrade? Device Manager says there are no driver files loaded for "this device," but there's a driver...

I just finished transferring files from my computer to a an external hard drive, and I want to disconnect the drive now. I got a message saying, "The device, 'Generic volume' cannot be stopped right now. Try stopping the device again later." Can anyone tell me what to do now? The drive is...

I'm wondering what is the best IPS gaming monitor for my system. i7 4930K CPU, and GTX Titan black 6GB graphics card.

Thanx for such great answers... and so quickly. I have one more question. Someone told me to populate ALL 8 slots. I asked him why, and he just seemed to become angry and did not tell me why he said this.

I'm buying a computer from a boutique custom computer company. (Because of poor eyesight, I don't think I can build the system myself.) I can't afford to buy all the MEMORY right now. I originally wanted 16GB, and later, I'd get another 16GB. But now I can only get 8GB of memory. Later...

OOPS! I pasted text from what someone else told me, and now I see a giant typo!!!!!!!! It's should say, "I've been told that when you add more memory sticks, the maximum CLOCK SPEED of a kit of memory sticks is reduced, and memory with a higher clock speed to begin with can overcome this."...

I've been told that when you add more memory sticks, the maximum memory of a kit of memory sticks is reduced, and memory with a higher clock speed to begin with can overcome this. Is this true?

OK I don't really understand what this page is asking me to do. I'm visually impaired and can't read instructions before they disappear. :) My question: What air-cooling solution do you recommend for the i7 4960X, (TDP=150W), and also for the i7 3970X processor, (TDP=130W). Thanx in advance...
