Oh absolutely, i dont mess with the laptop much at all. The only stuff i do is stuff i can find 100% clear answers for, so its really just been basic things relative to all the questions ive been asking about the build im planning. But thats also why i needed the build haha, i understand the...

OOO that sounds really cool! See the Pro license on my work laptop is throttled by the organziation settings, and i have a little more freedom that other folks since ive proven myself to be tech savvy (despite what my posts here indicate haha), but even so, i am certain i havent scratched the...

Oh well i will be gaming on it as well for sure. I got a 9950x3d to have a high performance CPU that's going to be more than i'll need for a long time to come. And for work, i often have to convert spreadsheets into thousands of pages of PDFs and then run text recognition on those and others, so...

Feel like a toddler bumbling around getting stopped from bashing my head into corners with all the help im getting from everyone here but i appreciate it!

I have, but i've been posting about discrete technical issues like this before posting a list of all components for advice. And, after your really great help, i think i will either return one of the smaller SSDs i ordered or return both and get a massive one instead. either way, i will...

No haha, im doing this on my own because its a pretty large expense and it also is me conveniently building myself a gaming pc that will be in my apartment xD But, if i am able to smoothly execute the build and successfully set up the remote connection i will use from my office, im considering...

More and more, I have felt like it might be unnecessarily complex. Initially i thought it might make more sense to separate them just to be safe but honestly, considering the complexity i'm reaching i realize im trying to do too much all at once and i should stick to a more basic approach, at...

Ohhhhh okay, im such a dummy when it comes to software for some reason. Hardware makes sense to me but software is much tougher as a newbie. So I'll buy a 1tb external drive (just to have on hand for storage after using it for downloading Windows, but i know i wouldnt need more than 8gb) and...

Hi yall, BACKGROUND: I am putting together my first build, and I will use it for work and personal. For work, I will not be doing much that is very graphics intensive, but I do have a 45" monitor, so despite it being low-level graphics demands per task, it requires high resolution to be...

Ah gotcha, i'll go ahead and make the trek to Best Buy (10 minute drive haha). And thanks for the link to the guide as well!

Hi yall, BACKGROUND: I am going to be building a new PC this weekend, and I will be installing Windows 11 Pro onto it for the Operating System. I am able to go to the local Best Buy to get a USB for it, but I also found this download option from Microsoft. My laziness wants to do the download...

It's super cool to learn history like that! Because some things become more rigid and less accessible with modernity, and I feel like this might be one of them. That said, i ended up being able to find case that's compatible for less than i had expected and ill be able to mount it properly...

Ah excellent! Thank you sir! And, nuisance though it may be, i prefer asking redundant questions to make sure i understand even if i look foolish for doing it. Blame a boss i had who had been in the military and taught me to always repeat orders back to double check haha My current work...

Hi yall, Background: I will be putting together a new PC build in which I have an SSD for personal stuff and one for work. I intend to boot up the work side before i head to the office and remote into because my work laptop is too weak to run how i need it to. Now, i understand that I could use...

Hey, there a saying in Spanish that translates to "common sense is the least common of the senses," so i'm happy to get questions that seem obvious to folks with experience since they might not occur to me! First off, its good to hear there's no inherent issue with that like there can be with...
