If your computer has a Bluetooth adapter, simply go to Settings > Devices > Bluetooth & other devices, then Add Bluetooth or other device. If your computer does not have Bluetooth, you can buy an adapter relatively inexpensively on sites such as Amazon. If you have a free PCIe slot, get a PCIe...

That's true actually, thanks for setting that straight. And thanks for clearing up the 6-pin pcie, the specs page wasn't very clear.

The cable won't fry your motherboard, the PSU is what delivers the power. The cable should work for your sff system, as I said, it's only carrying power.

From looking at the Dell specs page, the system has an 8-pin, 4-pin and 6-pin power connector. I assume this is for the motherboard power, CPU power, and graphics card power (if it has one) respectively. To use the adapter linked you'll need to make sure you get a fully-modular power supply...

The ambient temperature being higher will increase overall system temps, just be aware of that. Did you check when you moved that all components are correctly seated and that nothing has come out of place. Also make sure there isn't a dust build-up anywhere in the radiator or fans (or...

In this case, when you're installing windows, you can choose Custom install (advanced) and you can pick which partition to install it onto.

You can disconnect any other drives from the system that you don't want altered. Just connect the drive that you'll be installing windows on. I would agree with SkyNetRising in getting an SSD for your windows install, it will run much quicker, and prices have come down a lot.

As regards needing to reinstalling windows, you may have to, you may not have to. Either way, make sure to read this before doing any hardware changes: Reactivating Windows after a hardware change If you reinstall windows you should get an option to keep files, this should move your Program...

What's the make and model of your laptop. Have you tried uninstalling the drivers completely in Device Manager > Biometric Devices, and then reinstalling them from the manufacturer website.

Have you tried going to Settings > Network & Internet > Change Connection Properties and setting it as a metered connection? This will mostly stop Windows from sending and receiving data in the background which could be hogging bandwidth.

So thanks for all your help guys. As it turns out, 4K @60Hz with HDR only works on HDMI 2 on my TV, which is a change from it usually being 1

Yes it's fully up to date. I'm going to try swapping out the current cable with the one that came in the box in the morning, it's currently in use for something else, that should hopefully rule out the cable as the issue.

I also tried that setting to no avail. I have tried all the ports and it's been plugged into HDMI 1 the whole time, also the TV reports all the HDMI ports are capable of 4K@60Hz

Yes unfortunately it hasn't solved it. I have tried setting it to 10-bit but still nothing

The TV is the KD-55XE8596 and I'll say with 95% certainty the cable is 2.0 rated seeing as the Xbox reports it can playback movies at 4K @ 60&50Hz
