Hello everyone I have an M.2 SSD from an old laptop, I basically plugged it straight out and it still has all the laptop data/OS on it. I have an empty M.2 slot in my pc and wanted to know if I can plug it straight in or do I have to do something to clear it first? My main concern is whether...

Hello, I have an asus TP470- flip laptop, it comes with a thunderbolt-4 port which I wanted to know if it could double as a USB-c port? I'm looking to buy a usb hub (4xUSB 3.1) and a lot of them plug into USB-c so wanted to know if this would work. Thanks

Ahhh ok I see that now. just One more question, will a better wifi module just affect top speeds or will it affect my general connection. I only average 70mbps right now, so would that be the same with the two models or the newer AX200/210 would give me quicker speeds? thanks

Hey, thanks for the reply. Ahh so this just goes into one of the PCIE x1 slots on the motherboard? Is it any different to this model : GC-WB1733D-I. And I assume it also has Bluetooth.

Hello everyone. Just a general question for a motherboard without wifi. It is an ASUS rog stirx B550-A mb. It doesn't have wifi and only advertises an ethernet cable connection. I understand that a wifi module can be added if the mb has an M.2 key E port but i can't find any information about...

Hello everyone. I'm building a pc with a rtx 3060 (not TI) and a ryzen 5600x. All the psu calculators have shown my pc will have a wattage of about 400W. Alot of the 550W psu aren't available for me and I've read some stuff online that people with this setup usually opt for a 650w. I can get a...

Hello everyone. I'm planning a pc build with a 5600x and pairing it with a 3060. Most of the b550 motherboards available to me (at a reasonable price) are all without wifi and the x570s... yea they hurt the bank account. My motherboard supports an M.2 Key E wifi module. Was just hoping if...

@Why_Me Thanks for this. Should I get a cpu cooler as well? I read the stock coolers aren’t Great

Im building a mixed use PC for pretty much everything. I don't really need a work station so I decided to go for some mid-tier (atleast what i've been told are mid-tier) components. I'll list them below. AMD ryzen 5 5600x 4.6GHz ( AU$ 345 ) Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite V2 AM4 ATX Motherboard...

Thanks for the replies everyone, I took it into a shop and they managed to get it out with a phillips head on one of those pen looking powertools. I attacked it witt everything I had but decided I didn't need my $40 anyways. They also replaced the ssd and downloaded all the drivers etc so not...

Ahh ok, i will have to make an image. just created an 'image of partitions required to backup and restore windows' on maccrium which is about 178gb but my disk has 219gb used. Did i miss something in the macrium backup?

hello again, quick question. Do i need to clone the disk or image the disk? Thanks

Hello everyone. I have an ASUS vivobook flip 14 tp470EA. I’ve opened up the back and found the ssd, but can’t unscrew it for the life of me. I have on tiny flathead that fits into the screw but it will not budge. I’ve tried star, hexagon and Phillips heads and none of those work. Any advice...

Hello everyone. I have an ASUS Vivobook 14 Flip TP470EA. It currently has an SK hynix 256gb. I’m struggling with storage and carrying my hard drive around with me has just proved impractical at work. I’ve looked up how to replace my SSD and will be placing it with a 970 Evo. What I wanted to...

This was just based off my experience using a windows system image before when I changed laptops. The apps didn’t get transferred over, I’m guessing I must’ve messed something up. Anyways, I’ve been told the Macrium client is good so I shall be using that with my external hard drive
