    AMD A4-3300 APU with AMD Radeon 6410 HD Graphics 2.5GHz Socket FM1 65W Dual-Core Processor $12.99 Shipped (prime) new OEM

    If you have a compatible motherboard these make good DVR computers. Just keep in mind there are no more updates for the video card part of this CPU, so if you add a newer AMD video card, you can get some serious problems that will crash your system. I recommend using a Nvidia card if you want...

    Windows 7 stuck "Checking for Updates"

    The below worked excellent for me. I went to the catalog.update.microsoft.com site and directly downloaded the file, which is really a phantom service pack, in my opinion. Needed to use IE to go to the website.

    3 licence Family pack Windows 7 upgrade to 10

    I had to call one time and they specifically asked how many computers it was running on. I told them two, and this would be the third. They helped me activate it. Just curious how Windows 10 upgrade handles this.

    3 licence Family pack Windows 7 upgrade to 10

    One of the most outstanding software deals of the last ten years was the three license "family pack" of Windows 7. They all installed with the same key. So what about Windows 10? Will it install on three different computers using the same family pack key?

    CPU not supported for Windows 10?

    I will have to try that. Unfortunately my motherboard is old, so no update, but the CPU is a core 2 duo 8400, which should be plenty.

    How will windows 10 affect my D, E and F drives?

    Not sure about Windows 10, but with Windows 7 if you did a clean install, Windows would install a small hidden partition to a secondary drive. When I tried to use Windows backup to make an image file of my OS drive, it wanted to include the entire drive where the hidden partition was located...

    FREE after MIR: On Networks N150 router - NewEgg

    Only two Ethernet out ports, unlike virtually every other router that has a minimum of 4 usually. Got one for free a few months ago as part of a combo deal, but only having two ports out kills it for me, so it is a deep backup for me. Even though I have a switch also, I prefer to have more ports...

    Motherboard Drivers Win10

    Strange that people freak out when all their devices get installed. This is the way it should be with a new OS. In fact, if it isn't broke, I stick with the built in Windows drivers. Printers I like to install manufacturer drivers because they have more settings, but most things I think the...

    Clean install and no yellow marks on device manager. Why?

    When Windows 7 first came out many people experienced the same thing. The older the OS, the more stuff that needs drivers.

    The final push to get users to convert to win 10 (for "free")?

    Can you have your original version of Windows 7 on one drive and do a clean install of the free upgrade to Windows 10 on another drive? I thought the key to Windows 7 was gone when you upgraded to Windows 10.

    I was wrong about windows 10

    I think he is saying doing an upgrade of your old OS is the problem. Even if you get the free upgrade version, you can still do a clean install.

    Need free imaging app to backup Win7

    You can choose which drive to boot to in your BIOS at computer startup. This is my preferred way to boot different OS on the same computer. Since you are cloning, this is not an issue for you, but if you decide to install two different OS installs on separate drives, disconnect one or the other...

    How many of you are OS holdouts / luddites? Still clinging to your favorite OS?

    Windows 7 home premium because I use Windows Media Center extensively. I'm getting tired of people pretending there is no reason to keep Windows 7. In this case, Windows 10 decidedly has at least one less feature.

    Question on Windows7 setup with SSD

    I don't turn off indexing because the My Pictures folder will not sort and display things the way I want. Windows 7 should automatically set the TRIM correctly.

    M/B CPU Upgrade; erase drivers OR Clean Install

    Use good image software to copy your bootdrive to another drive. Put this drive in your new rig and see what happens. From Windows7 on doing this kind of switch has worked surprisingly well for me. Or you can create an image of your main bootdrive and try this with your current drives. I...

    Win 7 to 10 from one SSD to another?

    Probably the best choice, but then you will have to reinstall all your programs and settings. Myself, I would clone the current drive to the bigger SSD and put the old drive in a safe location. Upgrade the new SSD and see how you like it. If you want a clean install, you can wipe the drive and...

    Are a few seconds shaved off your boot time worth making your computer more unstable? You already have a fast rig, so it sounds like you just want bragging rights and no real advantage that adds to productivity or anything else.

    4k issues with windows 7 and 10

    Since it is most likely that your Samsung "monitor" will not go to sleep like a normal computer monitor, you should turn off this option in your power settings. This is how I use my Seiki 39" 4K, turn off all monitor sleep options and use the TV remote to turn the thing on and off. No problem.

    Help: Advise on obtaining cheap and legitimate windows 7 key

    WinX: Quick change of SATA Mode? Nada!

    The way I did it in the past was before switching the BIOS settings, for a completely setup Windows system, was to install the drivers before you switch. This way when the system reboots and is changed to AHCI (which is a must for good SSD performance!) the drivers will be there and Windows...

    Look at all the news on MS today

    Some people seem to think there is no reason to stick with Windows 7 over Windows 10, but the lack of Windows Media Center is a huge reason for a very dedicated minority of Windows users.

    Look at all the news on MS today

    I can't upgrade because both my main computers use Windows Media Center extensively. One of them is really nothing but a sophisticated DVR. I went to Windows Update app and sure enough Windows 10 was ready to install. When I went to details about, I unchecked Windows 10. Back on the main...

    HOW TO EASIEST DUAL Boot into (2) Windows OS'es

    You can always just change boot order in the BIOS. By the way, if you install two different installs of Windows on separate drives, disconnect all hard drives for the install except the drive you want to install to. Windows 7 will put hidden files on secondary drives. This can make it difficult...

    OS old pc to new pc

    While XP was borderline horrible when swapping an existing drive to a different computer, Windows 7 is actually pretty tolerant. But I have only done it with either full retail or the upgrade, which can be used on different hardware, but only one at a time. OEM is supposedly tied to the...
