    remove win 10 from ssd

    I don't know what you are trying to install but that's not how it usually works. After booting from usb and some basic setup like language, keyboard, network, it should take you to disk partitioning unless you have chosen to use existing partitions to install. If there is no option to get to...

    remove win 10 from ssd

    During linux installation when you get to partitioning / disk setup, you can delete all existing partitions and then use whole disk to install new os. Since you are going to reinstall anyway you can give linux a try. Just be prepared for the issues that may pop up, like these...

    Pondering about Dust Filters and Air Flow

    I use top fans as intake. Intake / exhaust configuration is up to person who builds the system and not everyone follows recommended configuration, but I have never seen anyone using back fan as intake.

    Weird network problem

    Why is a static ip not an option? I use static ips on most of my devices at home as it seems to work better than dhcp.

    Wired Connection on Powerline From Virgin Super Hub 3 Not Giving Full Speed!!!

    It also depends on electrical system in your house (distance, cord quality, devices causing interference, breakers). Plug both powerline adapters into the same power strip right next to each other to test max speed.

    Problem about steam

    What installation files? You just need to copy installed game folder "... \Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive" from the other computer, to your computer and then use steam to install csgo. When you do this, steam will analyze existing files and only download missing data (if...

    How to stop the scrollbar-jumps-to-top behaviour ?

    I don't know how to disable that functionality, but it never bothered me, because it was extremely rare. I just don't grab scrollbars with left mouse button unless it's something with 10k+ lines. Some things I use that may help you lessen the problem: - maximize window, use vertical taskbar...

    Best way to connect to internet

    In the past I had USB ADSL modem and I used this method to share internet connection with another PC. I don't have any guides, but here is the first thing that comes up on google search: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifDyMaWC0Mk Configuration is simple. On your PC set static ip on network...

    Best way to connect to internet

    You could simply connect both PCs with ethernet cable, configure local network, set your PC IP as default gateway on your friends PC and enable internet connection sharing on your PC. There are some cases where it may not work and setting it up for the first time may take some time so better...

    Watching streams on Twitch.tv works on only 1 PC out of 10.

    I sometimes had problems like that, but they would usually go away on their own. Also for those cases I installed other software to watch twitch: streamlink configured to display in VLC. There was also firefox addon "open in livestreamer" that allowed me to open twitch streams with right click...

    Do i need a mouse pad?

    No. I've been using mouse for gaming without mousepad on a wooden desk for years. I only started using mousepads after I got problems with inconsistent mouse movements (on some parts of the desk the mouse cursor would move with reduced speed and it started affecting my accuracy).

    Please Explain How to Use a SSHD??

    Even if you installed and deleted many programs, it would be hard to wear out 1TB SSD in just 2 years. Are you sure those hiccups are caused by hardware and not the bloated operating system? Maybe you just need to reinstall windows to fix your problem. As for SSHD, its not worth it in my...

    How to allocate space from 1 disk to another

    No. There are some methods to do that, but I wouldn't recommend them. If you need to use space on C: or G: for files that are on D: then use symbolic links. I do that with Steam if I run out of space for games and it works perfectly. Read this...

    PC Restart Everytime Playing Games

    It's probably cpu overheating. I had simillar problem with my old athlon II x4. Use some software (speedfan, hadware monitor) to check actual CPU temperature while playing games, not in BIOS. If cpu temperature is the problem then there are things you can try: clean the dust from cpu heatsink...

    Kali Linux boots into black screen with solid underscore

    When you got grey background after logging in, the first thing you should do is use non-gui terminal to check Xorg logs in /var/log to see why your gui is not loading properly. Kali linux is based on debian so maybe you can find some useful information here: https://wiki.debian.org/MacBookPro...
