Ah, it appears to only be dual channel... In that case what's fastest?

I have 2x4gb of 1600MHz DDR3 and also have 2x2gb of 1333MHz DDR3. Ideally I'd like to run all at the same time for increased capacity, but I was wondering the implications of the frequency. Would there be any speed gains/loss for running Quad Channel at lower speeds vs. Dual Channel at higher...

So it sounds like you're losing most of your bandwidth through the wall. That means that you should get a wifi extender for the other room. In this case it seems like a 5GHz frequency wouldn't really help all that much since that band has less of an ability to permeate through walls than the...

Alright you're continuing to make less and less sense here. Two comments ago you said: "Don't roll the dice with the only copy of this data." specifically relates to doing it with a different copy. A clone. That means you meant something with a different copy/clone... whatever it was I have...

Alright it's pretty clear you were using unnecessary scare tactics on that previous comment. Even what you just said doesn't make sense (I'll bold it)... What you said: "Don't roll the dice with the only copy of this data." specifically relates to doing it with a different copy. A clone. I...

I actually think Windows is quite resilient. Furthermore we're not rolling the dice whatsoever and I think you know you're portraying an inaccurate depiction to scare the person off from trying my suggestion. Migrating the data to the new drive just copies the data over to the new drive.... You...

Alright for that aggressive comment I have this to say. My suggestion is a legitimate solution using an app designed to do exactly what I said it could do. Now it sounds like no one but me has tried what I have suggested and are just speaking against it without any legitimate reasons. The drunk...

Honestly anything from the newest generation graphic cards (either Nvidia or AMD) would be hugely noticeable for you. Prices are dropping on the RTX 2060 since AMD is about to go public with their 5600 XT which is likely to be incredible value. You might want to wait for it if you're looking for...

If you're an admin on your new computer you should have the ability to allow permission to the old drive. Now after you do that it may take a while to allow you to access the files since it has to go through some process similar to re-indexing the drive I think. I used the same step on a...

Corruption is incredibly unlikely, quite far from likely. Sure if you're working with multiple terabytes of information that might be something to consider, but moving a drive that's most likely <1tb I wouldn't worry. On the notion of driver issues I also don't understand the concerns. As long...

It sounds like the AMD driver and possibly the overclock are what's unstable. Even if your overclock seems to be stable almost always, it may just be that you haven't properly stress tested it fully, and this game mode pushes the card to be unstable. I might suggest removing the overclock for...

Not really.... All you do is clone the drive then when you install it in the system you plan to use it in you simply download the drivers etc. I've done it 4 times now and haven't had issues.

This sounds likely to be one of two things. First, check if you allow your disk to sleep on idle (on Mac it's System Preferences --> Energy Saver --> uncheck "Put hard disks to sleep when possible"). This is the most likely problem and you might want to look into quite a bit before worrying...

If the form factors of both hard drives are the same and both are HDD drives (quality of both drives are similar) you could just physically swap the drives. If they vary in type/quality the issue becomes slightly more complex, especially since you are dealing with a laptop and not desktop. The...

Not sure if this will help, but here are a few ideas from other people that have tried to solve these issues: 1. In Control Panel/Power Options, if you have settings at 'Balanced' or 'Power Saver', many cores will remain 'Parked' until needed, especially in Power Saver mode on Battery...
