Hello forum, So recently, I was given a 46in 1080p monitor after a store did a renovation. The monitor was from a 2x2 wall and thus is set to only show part of an input. At the moment, it only shows 1/4th of my screen (as in the entire screen is on, but only part of my screen is being used to fill it up). I cannot seem to remedy the issue on the monitor's side via settings, so I was wondering if perhaps I could trick my PC into putting out video for a larger display (3840 x 2160), and keep all the content in the corner that the monitor displays. If I didnt explain my idea well enough, I attached 3 pictures. First is a sample desktop, 2nd is how the monitor shows it, 3rd is my idea. For reference, I tried this on my 2017 Macbook pro (via VGA to Thunderbolt 3 adapter) and my desktop (GTX 1080 with DisplayPort cable) and had the same result, leading me to believe that it is due to the monitor being from a 2x2.

The default one is not soldered?

The issue is not enough storage (a 512gb SSD would be cutting it close). Is there another option for storage besides the 512gb ssd?

Hello LLT Forums! I need some help finding a gaming capable laptop that meets the following: that is around the same size as the 2015 15" Macbook Pro I am carrying with me now (Height: 0.71 inch, Width: 14.13 inches, Depth: 9.73 inches, Weight: 4.49 pounds) at least 16GB of ram an SSD boot drive and an HDD (or a laptop with just an HDD and an extra 2.5in drive as I have a spare SSD) GTX 1070 or AMD equivalent preferably Core i7 or AMD equivalent Decent battery life while not gaming (I need to be able to have google docs up for about 8 hours a day on battery power), I'll use the power adapter while gaming. 15.6 in screen (Resolution minimum of 1920x1080, I don't care about touch) Any ideas on what to get? Currently, I'm liking this - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B072K85Z7N/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I2ZGSTH4DQYMYV&colid=3RYPL6W30Q6QF

Hello LTT community! So for the past few years I have been using a Macbook, and really want to switch to a windows based one (possibly one of the razer blades). I am not here to get help picking a laptop, but help looking for a program that will allow me to use the gestures on the mac trackpads such as: Swiping up with 3 or 4 fingers reveals all windows Swiping left/right with 3 or 4 fingers goes between different desktops Pinch to zoom on more applications (not really too important for me) I know windows 10 has all of those features, but not with the gestures to activate them. Has anyone developed something that would give me features like those? These are the only things that made me get a MacBook in the first place, its so convenient. Thanks in advance for anyone who helps me out

A Kova would be very nice to have!

GPU broke again, just got a new GTX 950

Try uninstalling or re installing steam. If you still get errors try doing a factory reset if you have the proper stuff to activate windows.

Fixed the GPU!

The card is shot, I am using the graphics on the motherboard for now. Saving up for a nice GPU. The old card was starting to fail occasionally anyway

My graphics card broke

Almost all the parts are in my current PC (aka free in this case). The new parts are: Power supply Motherboard SSD CPU Fan 4gb of ram (new to me, but a free hand-me-down) The first thing I'll do is start saving a dollar a day towards a new graphics card (the 745 is the one that came in my PC) Thanks!

Ok, thanks!

Since I already have the chip and ram, I don't really have much of a choice to upgrade (I am open to donations )

I know it is a meh grade chip, but it is not too bad with video editing (works great with adobe premier, camtasia studio and sony vegas). The 16gb that is is already using I want to stay, and teh extra 4 is mainly I have it laying around, its computable, so I though why not.

Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type) 32 GB Memory Types DDR3-1333/1600, DDR3L-1333/1600 @ 1.5V http://ark.intel.com/products/75038/Intel-Core-i5-4440-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_30-GHz I am new to this stuff (my first build besides minor upgrades.) so tell me if I'm wrong! Currently in my desktop the i54440 is running with 16gb

The majority of the parts I have from other PCs (only a few are new and they were gifts.), I i had to base around what I had. I had the i5, the board was a gift, I have 16gb in my current PC and the other 4 is from my mom's old PC. The SSD is 250gb as I want to use it just incase my storage drive breaks, I would go though 120gb very fast.

Whats wrong with the amount of ram for the processor? Last I checked it can handle 32gb... I will double check myself right now.

Tied to my hardware configuration how? Do you mean my motherboard. I am switching my board with my new upgrades (what the SSD is for.)

Hello Forum Members! Before I begin this is my first PC build, and I am very grateful for PCPartChecker, otherwise I probably would have a bunch of random part that do not work together! I am calling this build "Morphine Please!" and the specs are as followed: OS========= Windows 10 Pro 64bit CPU ======= i5 44440 CPU COOLER == Corsair H80i GT GPU ======= EVGA GeForce GTX 950 FTW BOARD ===== Gigabyte GA-H97M-D3H RAM ======= 16gb DDR 3 @1600 Boot Drive == 250gb Samsung 850 EVO SSD Storage ==== 1tb Western Digital Blue HDD, 2tb WD passport external drive PSU ====== EVGA 600B Case ====== NZXT S340 Razer Edition Displays === 2 Gateway 23in monitors (KX2303) Keyboard == Corsair K70 RGB Mouse ==== Redragon M901 (I love this thing) Thanks for reading!

Hello! Recentently I got a samsung SSD (850 EVO 250GB if anyone was wondering) to replace my boot drive. I just finished cloning my stuff with the samsung data migration software. I was wondering if I need to deactivate my windows install on the original drive before I boot with the new one, as I assume two drives cannot have a genuine windows 10 install with the same key. My product key is non OEM key and it is Win 10 Home 64bit. Simple version of the post - Do I need to deactivate windows on my source drive before booting to new SSD? Thank you!

Thank you all for replying! I will simply use my windows 10 key (making my bootable USB drive right now) and not worry about the OEM stuff. Thank you!

Hello! I am doing some upgrades to my PC and since my windows key is OEM, will replacing my motherboard not allow that activated windows to function? The computer came with windows 8.1 (the recovery disk is for 8.1). It is an alienwear (dell) x51 R2. It is nearly stock at the moment. I simply want to know if I need to get a new key (I have a spare windows 10 key, I can upgrade to 10 if need be). Thank you!

Ok, great! Ill take your word for it!

So simply plug and play?
