I've been trying to get important files off of my old Win10 laptop so that I can wipe it and give it to my dad but navigating through and transferring the files to USB drives is an absolute nightmare that I don't have the patience for. So, I was wondering if there's a way to do it remotely, or...

Hi guys--I know this kind of sounds like an obvious question, just move the files from one to another. It's kind of hard to explain but basically I have a 60GB SSD which is my boot drive (Yes, I know...) and I have a 120GB SSD. I have a couple bigger hard drives for my games, applications, long...

Oke I don't know if I am in the right section, if I am not the admins can move it I guess. So I just ordered an ssd as I've used an hdd for 10 years now. I will delete mostly everything from the hdd-s but I would like to transfer some important stuff from the PC to the laptop. As I haven't done...

I have tried many options for simple file transfer on wifi, none seem consistent or easy to use. Some are paid for but I need free and am happy to have ads. My issues are always the connection. Most use a SQR Code but it rarely works. My PC is connected to a router on ethernet and the mobile is...

Hey y'all, I've been having a problem where whenever I download a file or transfer a file from drive to drive or within the same drive, the file almost finishes downloading or transferring but stays at 99% for a few minutes, and then it transfers. I've cleaned it from malware, I've disabled...

So I have an Asus Q504U, Windows 10 64-bit (latest or 2nd to latest update; i.e. Nov 2019-ish), 12 GB RAM, 1TB storage (which is the issue at hand). On it, there are about 120-200 GB of family photos, school work, and other things. In November the laptop turned off during a Windows Update and...

Hello, If this is the wrong section for this post just let me know. My problem: When I try to transfer files from my windows 10 computer over an in-house network to a Mac server, the files become corrupted after the transfer. When I do the same process to the same files from an old windows 7...

My dad is looking to upgrade his 2015 Dell XPS Tower to a completely new build. He almost always has 20+ windows open at once and never shuts his computer down. It's mostly workstation/office tasks like MS Office (majority), chrome, mail, etc. Build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/dCVZL2 I know...

Bought an NVME M.2 SSD to put in my motherboard so I can load my OS onto it and use my HDD for files so that it'll take less time to boot my computer up. What are the steps I need to go through in order to have Win 10 boot on my SSD instead of my HDD? Not trying to delete any files but instead...

During my studies I am having a tough time wrapping my head around something. This is my understanding based on the explanation I read, so it is entirely possible that I just have it entirely wrong. My current understanding is that with Active FTP, an FTP client send out to port 21. (So my...

I was just wondering, why are we using MHz when we rate the speed of RAM and not something like GBps or Gbps? Is it even the same thing? And if so what speed in GBps would 1000MHz be?

Has anyone tried the Acer KG271U Abmiipx with Gsync and if so how well if at all did it work? I'm trying to find a 1440p 144hz 27in monitor that works well with gsync for around the $300 mark I saw the Acer XG270HU on newegg refurbished for $300 but they sold out pretty quickly.

--COMPLETE EDIT-- I'll keep it simple. This build is going to be a birthday present for my best friend. Should I pick different components? If so, what do you think they should be and why. Trying to NOT spend a ton of money. The less I can spend to get the job done, the better. I want it to...

Hello, I've recently bought a new 1060 in the hope it would boost my FPS on battlegrounds. I had a 670 before so I thought this would suffice. Problem is my frames have barely improved and they are dropping to around 20 - 30 quite often. Is something bottle necking my computer? baring in mind...

I was configuring my pc on pcspecialist but I noticed the cheapest case looked quite bland. Since my keyboard is red led backlit, I thought it might be worth it to add 2x50cm red led strips to increase the aesthetics. How substantial of a difference can it make? Does it pretty much light the...
