    [SOLVED] App For Testing Functionality Of Computer Peripherals?

    Hello everyone, I was wondering if there is an app for Windows which checks to see if every port and jack on the computer's I/O works correctly. Something that is like a diagnostics app, but for the computer's external hardware instead of its internal components.

    Upgrade from Windows 7?

    Hello, I am about to start my new build and was going to purchase a copy of Win. 7 for the build (In about 3 weeks). But I have a concern. Will new copies of Windows 7 bought now still be eligible for the free upgrade? I would think so but... I don't want to be caught by it. Thank you!
