    Question Trying to move OS to new drive

    I figure there must be something I'm missing about all the UEFI stuff, a lot of which is over my head. I finally was able to get a fresh Windows install. Here's what my final attempts included, and this is on a WD Black M2 drive: --With Macrium, I saved an image of my old M2 to another...

    Question Trying to move OS to new drive

    That sounds similar. It just doesn't want to find Windows on a different drive. In the thread you listed people said that doing a Macrium clone was never an issue, so I thought this was going to be an easy upgrade. Ha. The cloning process is very simple so I'm not sure how I could be...

    Question Trying to move OS to new drive

    Hmm, I seem to be going around in circles a bit, may have tried too many different things at this point. I had Macrium save an image to my other internal SSD. After swapping the drives, I got to the Windows Recovery screen, and found the option to restore from an image. But it wouldn't let me...

    Question Trying to move OS to new drive

    I only have one M2 slot so I had to use the external enclosure to clone from my current M2 to my new one. I thought that once I swapped the drives it would be able to boot from the new M2 since they were cloned but it didn't work. I was worried about copying the image to one of my other drives...

    Question Trying to move OS to new drive

    Thanks, so should I install the new drive before I boot from the USB installer? Or can I repair it when it is in the external enclosure? Wasn't sure if I could repair Windows on an external drive while my internal drive also has Windows on it (although I won't be running Windows on my internal...

    Question Trying to move OS to new drive

    My PC has one M2 slot, and my Win 10 is currently installed on a 128GB M2 drive. I just purchased a 500Gb drive and I'm trying to move everything over. I bought an external USB enclosure and used Macrium Reflect to clone my C drive over. It seemed to work, and the external drive showed up in...

    Question Organizing files when using Photos

    I'm using the Windows Photos app to view all the family photos and videos from our cell phones (not my DSLR photos, which I use a dedicated program for). This seems to be easiest for the wife and kids to scroll through to browse, send to someone, etc. I noticed that it sorts everything by date...

    Question Buying a new M.2 drive, need some help

    Thanks, not upgrading my mobo anytime soon so sholdn't make much of a difference. I did read about he WD SN550 which doesn't have DRAM but some people said it still outperforms the SN750 is some cases. Either way, I spent the extra $7 on the SN750, and probably won't notice much performance...

    Question Buying a new M.2 drive, need some help

    Like it says, I'm getting a new M.2 drive as my original one is not big enough. I've gotten confused about NVME, and whether I can use an NVME drive or not (or if it matters). Here is my mobo: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B450M-DS3H-rev-10/sp#sp but I don't see anything about NVME...

    Question Keep getting Captchas, network problem?

    Also got this on a site: Your adblock may block important javascript components, check that main.js is loaded or the webpage won't work. I have the uBlock extension but it's not even switched on at the moment, so don't know what that would be doing. Thanks!

    Need help getting network connected

    OK, I've never really used Linux/Unix, but our work has an option to use their software on a home PC. Trying to get a hold of IT and then explain the issue over the phone has been challenging (they aren't using the software so they can't really see the same screens). This is a new system they...

    Question Keep getting Captchas, network problem?

    I've started getting random captchas when visiting websites. It seems to point to malware by the warnings I get. I ran an AVS scan but didn't see any problems. One website said it might be: You've disabled JavaScript in your web browser. A third-party browser plugin, such as Ghostery or...

    Question Need a camera to view locally on PC

    Question Need a camera to view locally on PC

    Not sure what I'm looking for, or the best forum, so here goes. I need a camera that I can connect wirelessly to my PC so I can point it at a birds nest my kids are watching. My PC doesn't have wi-fi but will be connected to the same network as the wi-fi (PC connects to router/modem over...

    Question Trying to uninstall keyboard to help PC sleep

    I've always struggled to get my PC to sleep. I've often used the "powercfg -lastwake" to find out what's keeping him up. I often found it was Plex running, but I think I got that figured out. Recently, I got a new keyboard. Now, the lastwake is defined as: Instance Path...

    Question Any cheap and elegant solution for lifting a case up a bit?

    Thanks for the suggestions! I was also thinking about wood dowel, but ABS might be an easy solution. Already black so it will blend in, and I might just be able to slip pieces over the current feet (which have a bit of a strange shape to them). Might be able to countersink holes into dowel...

    Question Any cheap and elegant solution for lifting a case up a bit?

    My case (Raijintek Thetis) doesn't have front or side vents so trying to get better airflow from the bottom. It has small rubber feet and I want to raise it more. I'm just worried about it being unstable or vibrating or something. Was just going to use some small woods blocks with anti slip tape...

    HDD erase: Good balance between security and speed?

    Losing internet connection on PC Solved!

    Thanks for the help. It is Xfinity cable, and the PC connects directly to the modern/router.

    Switching cases and need help!

    Things went a bit wonky last night. Got it running once and noticed smoke. Turns out the USB 2 branch of my front panel USB cord was melting. I had the USB 3 portion in the old case spot for a front card reader. Swapped that, then it would run but no signal to monitor. Took the GPU or and in...

    Would RAID make sense for my setup?

    Thanks for the help! I won't bother then. I used to try and backup to my own HDD also, store it in a fire proof safe, etc., but then I got lazy. Think I'll just stick with online backup for now!

    Please help me determine what fans I need

    Thanks for the tips. I was thinking the GPU fans were blowing away hot air not blowing cold air into the cards. Good to know! I'll have to see if it pulls in enough air from the top without an intake or if it needs one there. Not sure if I'll put one in the bottom. Guess I'll see what tempsi...

    Please help me determine what fans I need

    That's why I was thinking bottom to top. But with the rear fan I can't go front to back since the front is solid. Maybe just an exhaust on the top and the air will be pulled in from the bottom?

    Brand of Radeon GPU in a Dell?

    That's what I was thinking. I just want to make sure it has the correct specs etc as I'm actually selling the GPU as I don't need so much muscle. Wouldn't want to represent something wrong. I downloaded GPU-Z and took a screenshot. Can someone advise if it is a certain version of the card...

    Brand of Radeon GPU in a Dell?

    I have a Dell Inspiron that came with an RX 570. Is there a way to tell the brand of the card? It's not on the physical card. Does Dell just get it straight from AMD? The case and fans look like this one but with a red circuit board...

    Need help picking a basic GPU

    Hi all, I recently bought a Dell system that has a Ryzen 7 1700 and an RX 570. I don’t game, just planning to use it for home use, watching movies, light photo editing, etc., but I plan to get a 27” 4K monitor (maybe 2K, but hopefully 4K). I plan on selling the 570 since it’s way more card...

    Please help me buying a new PC!

    I saw that one, and was thinking if I got it I could sell the GPU and put on l in something simpler, like an Rx 550 or gt 1050. Would that make sense? Or would that defeat the purpose of such a system? It would reduce the price by about $150, which would then make it a definite buy. And that...
