ethandeguire got a reaction from pelark in Hue+ or Node PRO?

ethandeguire got a reaction from Marinatall_Ironside in Is the difference between the GTX 1050 vs 1050 Ti just clock speed?
No, I don't have the differences memorized, but there are more cuda cores, and various other random things that make them distinctly different. Go for a 1050ti if you can as oc'ing a laptop gpu is questionable at best.

I recommend getting the monitor, seeing if your games can run, you might be surprised, then if you need to proceed with the upgrade.

When you download the ZIP file right click properties, and under general hit unblock and apply. After try unzipping the file and installing that seems to be a common issue if you cannot start the installation.

ethandeguire reacted to Enderman in SSD Setup
Because first of all, operating systems are very delicate and moving them between drives often causes problems.
You can go to google and look up "issues after cloning" to see the millions of people who have done it and had problems afterward.
Anything from no boot, windows locking up, drive usage pinning at 100%, programs not working, updates not installing, etc etc etc
Sometimes the issues happen immediately, other time you find out months later that something has been screwed up in the background.
It is also especially bad to clone to an SSD because sometimes the OS can detect it as a hard drive and perform cleaning functions that should not be performed on an SSD.
WD, one of the biggest storage drive makers in the world, does not recommend cloning to SSDs.
Basically, it is a lazy workaround that will end up making you clean install in the future. It takes less time to clean install now with a new drive than to clone, have problems, and clean install later.
It is also better to clean install now because you have a fresh new drive, so after installing you can look back at the programs or settings on your other drive to remember what you need to change/install. Since you install windows on the SSD, your HDD will serve as a temporary backup while you get your programs set up.
If you clean install in the future, the drive you will be installing to is the drive with your OS and programs and settings, and all of that will be overwritten during the clean install so you would need to purchase a separate drive or something to copy everything over as a backup.
