It looks like I was almost there. I had a KVM open in Amazon and needed confirmation that I was looking at the right thing. Does this look like the right thing? https://www.amazon.com/Monitors-Computers-Switches-Keyboard-Controller/dp/B0D5D5T4SS Or maybe I can even go with this...

I know it sounds stupid when you read it, but that's what I'm trying to do. I have an NEC MultisyncP484 for my main monitor, and an Acer as my smaller secondary. I currently only have the NEC hooked up to my PC, and I have them on a switch that I hook up to my work laptop when I work from home...

Not necessarily, it's just that those rigs didn't fall in my budget range. Right now I have it narrowed down to the four I included in my OP, but I haven't been able to do nearly the amount of research I was able to do when I originally built our matching systems. Thus, my reason for asking...

To an extent, that's the plan. But I need to find out why his rig is starting to shut down, only when playing games - not when just browsing the internet or watching YouTube. And it's random - sometimes it'll restart the entire PC, and sometimes it just crashes the game he's playing. If I can...

That's my hope, yes. I expect to move over his 2TB hard drive and probably RAM, as it seems like the builds I was looking at are quite a bit lower on RAM. My ultimate goal is to fix whatever I can in his old build, and replace what I have to, possibly using parts from my identical build to...

Hey y'all, So the builds my fiancee and I have been using are about 5 years old now, and way back then I had put them together. Mine is still doing ok, but his is starting to show signs of age - random restarts, booting him out of games, etc. I was looking at a few Black Friday deals on Newegg...

Ugh...calling Microsoft. LOL! But if it works....yeah ok, that needs to be done.

Yep and yep. Checked that when I built them in November.

We both have the same version of Windows 10 64 bit. Seriously, literally everything is the same for the new builds aside from the old HDs that were moved over.

So I upgraded the graphics cards for my fiancee and I, and I had just upgraded everything else back in November, so we have the exact same builds. I installed my graphics card yesterday, and was (I thought) happy with the benchmark score, compared to my old card. But there was a slight fan tick...

I did try all of that, and the troubleshooter just laughs at me and won't activate windows, even after I click where it says "I have recently changed hardware on this machine" or whatever it says.

Is there any way to get a boot drive from my current computer now that I've already installed the HDs in the new machines? I don't want to have to pay another $200 for this...ugh.

I built new computers for myself and my fiancee about a week ago, basically moving our existing HDs with the OS into all new systems. Then I had to go out of town for 4 days, and when I got back it's still showing that our versions of Windows won't activate. Both copies were digitally regsitred...

Hi there! I just put together identical builds for myself and my fiancee about a week ago, and while I was out of town for the weekend, my stepson decided he wanted to try adding our old graphics cards to see if they performed better than with just the Vega 8 graphics on the Ryzen 3 3200g...
