tried that too mxnerd and no luck..i'm beginning to think micro$oft has disabled the ability to network 10 to 7 because they want all of us old dinosaurs to upgrade to 10/11
Thanks for the replies everyone.. I'm still not having any luck.
I tried all the suggestions in that link you posted with no luck
How do I update w7 smb to match w10?
I have shared folders on a windows 7 pc that I would like to access from a windows 10 PC. When I try it gives the error 0x80070035.
I can access the windows 7 shares from other windows 7 PCs as well as my android phone.
Neither PC uses a password and both have public and private network settings...
The last decent GPU i had was a HD 6870 that I used until it died then I got a cheap GT 545 for low end gaming, then I took a break from gaming and still use the GT 545 just to have video out (cpu has no onboard), now I've got the itch to get back into gaming but I'm on a limited budget of $200...
After some more research and tinkering it appears the issue is with AVG.
I tried running WEI with AVG disabled, but it still failed. I then completely uninstalled AVG and WEI ran perfect.
From my research there is a driver AVG installs called AVGArDisk.sys that is causing the problem. It has...
hello,
I did a fresh install of windows 7, installed all my drivers and apps, then ran the Windows Experience Index with no problem.
I then installed all the important security updates through windows update, ran CCleaner and shutdown the PC for the night.
The next day I tried re running the...
Hello,
I have used my 2 free months of going over my 1024GB data cap and will most likely go over again this month @ $10 for every 50GB I go over.
I went to my local xfinity store to see what my options were. They said I could pay $50 extra on my current plan for unlimited data or they could...
Cool thanks for clearing that up..I don't think what I'm about to post breaks any rules then.
This is a long video so it will require some time and patience to get through it and its a guide for windows 7 on x570 boards, but it also works for b450.
In the description it has a link to some...
I don't know about using a windows 7 drive from another PC, but I do know that it is possible to do a fresh install of windows 7. However the newer hardware isn't officially supported in windows 7. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to the instructions here but there is a youtube video...
Thanks guys..Yep it was windows 7.
Switched bios to UEFI for hard drive and did a from scratch install of windows 10 and all my programs work much better.
Getting use to windows 10 will be another story lol but in time it will be ok.
thanks
I've had a few days now to play around with my new upgraded mobo, cpu, ram, and nvme ssd and am a little disappointed.
Boot up and shut downs/restarts take longer then my old system, but more annoying is that launching Waterfox (my browser of choice) takes significantly longer to launch like...
The tomahawk board uses a 8 pin connector. Luckily my PSU has a 8 pin (and 4pin) psu connector.
I bench built everything outside of the case using an old Radeon 3450 I had laying around, flashed the latest BIOS, installed windows, drivers, and all my other usual software I frequently use...
I live in an old house that tends to be more dusty than newer homes and my PC case has a lot of mesh so it gets dusty pretty often.
I have a decent air compressor in my garage so about every 3 months I take my PC to the garage and blow it out.
I am careful around fans not to let them freewheel...
Since I don't upgrade very often (as you cant tell from the specs in my sig lol) I upped my budget a little.
For the cpu I got the r7 3700x, tomahawk max motherboard, 512GB sabrent rocket m.2, 16GB Night Hawk RGB DDR4 3200 ram.
I'm going to reuse my case, psu, and GPU for now.
Also I made a...
thanks for the link..will pick one up.
I found a decent price on a 512GB sabrent rocket nvme drive for $60. It seems to be recommended in a lot of budget builds I've seen.

Also recommended in a lot of budget...
thanks for the info guys
the drive i picked is NVME and pretty fast. Max Sequential Read 3430 MBps and Max Sequential Write 2600 MBps but it doesn't have a heatsink on it. I watched some youtube videos that said m.2 drives tend to run hot on x570 boards..if thats true I might need to pick a...
Hello all.
I haven't upgraded my PC in a long time. My i7 2600k still does everything I need it to do, but it is starting to show its age.
I am thinking of switching platforms to an AMD x570 board and a r5 3600.
I use my PC for light gaming, heavy web use (usually have lots of tabs open with...
I believe it was a 2007 Macbook.
I manged to figure it out. Apparently this model is too old for the option + command + R thing to work.
I ended up figuring it out.
From my windows 7 PC I used TransMac to format and install Ell Capitan to a bootable USB drive then was able to boot the macbook...
My neighbor bought a Macbook online (i think through facebook some kinda marketplace? I dunno) anyway he wanted me to restore it to factory settings.
Anyways I followed a guide that said hold Comand + R while powering on, go to disk utilities and erase the Macintosh HD partition and then click...
Already over budget and had a unused copy of Windows 7 my sister bought cheap back in the day from her college.book store..Windows 10 along with a nvidia 11xx (when available) series card is in the plans for an upgrade when the funds recover
Just to update, this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/zFDkjy is the parts I ended up using.
prices are different then when I purchased..for example I paid 144 for the ssd and it now shows 179.
All in all it was a fun build and seems to be fast and rock solid stable OC'd to 4.8GHz.
The hardest part...
I'm still researching parts, but need to start buying soon.
The deal on the Intel 760p ssd on pcpartspicker shows $139 @ newegg but when I click on it and go to newegg's site it says $218 ugh! so I'm back to searching for a ssd.
In my daily email I get from newegg I see a couple SSDs from a...
I suggested the AMD cpu as a possibility, but he wants to go Intel.
He's not into VR ,but does plan on going 4k sometime.
I was wrong about his GPU it is a 970 and not 960 as I previously thought..it along with a 4k monitor is planned in the next 6-12 months.
The i5 8400 is looking pretty tasty...
Microcenter is about 2 hours away and there's a fry's about 1.5hrs away.
I'm leaning towards the ASRock Z370 Pro4..When surfing/general PC use the sound will be through hdmi to a cheap 1080p TV and when gaming sound is through a head set..the difference between ALC892 and ALC1220 sound quality...
Yep the GTX 960 will be replaced when some more money is saved up.
that 270R looks nice and priced right..probably will go with it..
Any thoughts on the motherboard? Anything better in the $150 or less range?
thanks
The case in my list seems to get good reviews and people mention it has rounded edges..I'll look at some others though.I like the looks of the NZXT s340 that was suggested above.
As far as dipswitches my Asus Z68 pro has a switch on the board that OCs my 2600k to 4.2GHz..the z68 is old by PC...
My brother wants me to build him a gaming PC and his budget is around $700.
My current parts list https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vQPtCb.
I am thinking about changing the SSD from the Adata XPG to a Intel 760p..the Intel seems to be quite a bit faster in write speeds for not much more money.

Hello,
I have a PC connected to my HDTV in a spare room and I can stream TV from tv.xfinity.com.
The problem is I have to use my mouse to change channels.
It would be a lot more convenient to use a remote control. Is there a cheap and easy way to use a remote control to change channels?

Hello,
I use firefox with adblock plus. I like to surf multiple sites at once.
I might have 3 or 4 youtube tabs open, a couple news tabs open,etc but usually no more then 8-10 tabs at once.
I have noticed the longer the tabs are open the slower firefox gets. I usually get a popup notification...
Thanks for the help everyone.
I think VirtualLarry has it figured out.
I used a hirens boot cd and booted to mini xp. I was able to browse the recycle bins on my storage drives and 1 of them had a file in it with a bunch of random characters but has .tib as the extension which is what true...
Device manager shows it as a Liteon LCT-256. I purchased it used form the for sale forum here at AT. I believe it is similar to a Plextor m3.
It's a OS drive.
I do have multiple drives.
The backup image is not stored on a external drive , but it is stored on 1 of the internal storage...
Hello,
I made a backup image of my SSD using a bootable disc of true image 2014.
A few days later I decided to try secure erasing my SSD.
I deleted some files to the recycle bin, but didn't empty it.
I then booted a copy of parted magic and did a secure erase.
Next I restored my backup...
Wow that's a lot of money for a board.
After some digging I found a wiki on this socket also known as Socket G2.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_G2
Chipset looks to be QM77 (I believe QM67 may also work).
Seems the price of a compatible board is not worth it.
I was hoping to...
The Intel specs page says sockets supported are FCBGA1023, PPGA988.
http://ark.intel.com/products/52224/Intel-Core-i5-2410M-Processor-3M-Cache-up-to-2_90-GHz
My socket type must be the latter PPGA988..sorry for the confusion.
I cant seem to find any PPGA988 socket desktop boards :(
That's what I was thinking, but looking at a used board on eBay it appears the CPU is socketed and removable.

Hello,
I was given a dead Fujitsu LH531. I am assuming the motherboard is bad. A replacement motherboard on eBay seems to be $100ish, which probably isn't worth it.
The CPU in the LH531 is a i5 sandy bridge 2410M dual core socket FCBGA1023. I have seen some desktop BGA1023 boards on ebay...
I use to be able to take pictures from my AT&T android phone and mms text them to my hotmail email address, but now that microsoft as force upgraded me to the new Outlook Mail when I try to text a picture it says "Photos" in the body of the email instead of showing the actual picture.
