    Question Want to switch case fans from 3-pin to pwm/4-pin, unsure how to do that

    I recently installed 3 RGB 120mm case fans to my PC. In doing so, I thought now might be a good time to switch them from 3-pin headers to 4-pin headers so I can control fan speed without entering the BIOS each time. The problem I ran into is this - there are 3 120mm case fans (2 on top and 1 in...

    Question Newly Installed SSD Disappeared

    No, the OS SSD was installed two days before the other one. I am not on the latest BIOS version for my mobo as the PC has never had any issues in that respect. I have never done a BIOS upgrade and have heard a lot of negatives about it. Even my mobo manfacturer's BIOS update section warns...

    Question Windows 10 Clean Install on SSD, Old HDD has Windows 10 & my Data, now what?

    Question Windows 10 Clean Install on SSD, Old HDD has Windows 10 & my Data, now what?

    Thank you. One other thing. When I went into BIOS to correct the boot order, there is suddenly a Windows Boot Manager in the list. Did an online search and found out this is because I have more than one OS installed between drives. None of what I read though said how I should select boot order...

    Question Windows 10 Clean Install on SSD, Old HDD has Windows 10 & my Data, now what?

    Thanks for the reply. To wipe the drive completely, if formatting is not the way to do it, what is? Is there a program I should use, or does Windows 10 have a program to wipe the drive with? What is it called?

    I installed my first SSD on my PC and just completed a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro. Right now, I only have the SSD connected. My HDD is disconnected, but it does contain another Windows 10 Pro OS and all my data. This is my first go around with this type of scenario. So, my concerns and...

    Microsoft Outlook 2010 Won't Open/Emails Are Gone .pst file?

    Believe I solved it. Located Outlook Files folder in My Documents, right clicked for Properties, selected Previous Versions tab and selected an Outlook File that was dated/time stamped previous to my blunder. All is well :)
