    Windows 10 Dual Booting/Compatibility Questions (w/Windows 7 Gaming Build)

    Hello! I built my gaming PC 13 months ago. Though I enjoy modding with some really old school programs on Windows 7 64 bit Professional (some as old as Sharp Ocarina for OOT modding) and take pleasure in other random acts of Windows 7 derping, the allure of Windows 10 games and DX12 (and Win 10...

    Can't Disable Readyboost

    There's a 32 gb readyboost cache on my sd card. I need to remove it so that I can transport some files, but Windows 7 (Professional 64 bit) won't let me disable because my ssd is too fast and won't benefit from using readyboost. I really need those 32 gb on the sd card, please help!

    Revamping Old PC, Need GPU

    How should I find out if the PCIE is compatible with the GPU? Can/should I just be lazy and order one anyway, try it out, and send it back? Also, thanks to all of you for all the help so far!

    Revamping Old PC, Need GPU

    "Light Gaming" - Playing some multiplayer games such as COD : WAW at low settings. It would be preferable to be able to run WAW around high though. The psu is a 500w modular CX500M. Honestly, any really good mid-range GPU is fine, as long as it'll work with this old mobo.
