Oh no, I havent used Nortons in like 15 years. ill never use that again, I remember when it came with my first laptop, I ran it to see if it was working right, and it said I had viruses on a brand new laptop that wasnt connected to the net yet.

Its on auto delete, but yeah, don't worry, iv had to ask that before.

Im trying to clean up space in my main drive, it is getting a little cluttered, but for some reason its amount of GB is not going down after sending the folders to another drive and deleting them on my main drive. I originally cloned my main drive from a 6 year old hard drive to an SSD, now im trying to clean up the drive, like moving all the game folders that are taking up like 50GB, to the bigger drive. But the GB isnt going down after being deleted.

Today in my spare time, I started to send big folders to my other drive from my main drive and then deleted said folders, I am now noticing that im actually increasing/decreasing the space used/not used on my main drive, almost like im just making a duplicate on the same drive, any idea whats going on here?

Oh sorry guys, it was really late last night when I wrote this, its not for use, but for collection, just some of those hard to come by or parts alone that went through the roof for no reason kind of thing. Right now im using a Samsung 870 1TB SSD for my main drive, so this isn't for use, just collection, much like how I was able to find a CaseLabs Magnum SMA8 for $150, that case alone used runs for $700+ used the last time I tried finding one before the one I got, and it had a bad scratch, and a BAD paint job, which is fine, cause I was able to repaint it just fine.

For MANY years I have been wanting to get myself an Intel 730 Series SSD, but the price has never gone down, even on used ones. And today a friend of mine happened to show me an ebay link that just seems to good to be true. And usually it is. As you can see (link provided), for $80, I can get a "Grade A condition" used one, and it is the 480GB version. While any other time, that would run for double at least. But how can I tell its a genuine one, and not a knock off? Sure, they have good ratings at 100% at 2k+ sales, but in my book, that means nothing when it comes to expensive things at times. https://www.ebay.com/itm/INTEL-SSD-730-SSDSC2BP480G4-480GB-SOLID-STATE-DRIVE-2-5-SATA-6Gb-s-20nm-MLC/362438790419 Thanks for taking the time to help me.

You actually gave me an OLD but GREAT way to get this fixed, I contacted them and I was able to get a live chat with an awesome person, and they were able to manually fix my issue! Thank you!

Would I be able to transfer over the windows from the old one? (it was a digital update from windows 7)

I just swapped out my motherboard to a new one, now im being told my Windows isnt activated (with the watermark), did I miss something here? ?

Iv never been big on the whole RGB thing, so, the Redness to it doesnt bother me, will match my Red RGB fans, and what not, I have a Red/Black theme, but nothing huge with lights, the ram I ordered doesnt even have RGB in them and thats perfectly good with me, so ill just stick to what I have. Thanks.

Thanks.

So, should I keep the one I have now or go ahead and get the one I meant to get? Im not sure which one is the better one, because there is only about $10 difference. The one I have now:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VWHXK94/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1And the one I meant to get:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F83RVTC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

For me, in all honesty, im not looking to have the best of the best kind of thing, and even with just a 1600X, im sure it will last me another 5+ years or longer, who knows, im just not sure on the motherboard right now.

No, these two, The one I have now: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VWHXK94/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And the one I meant to get: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07F83RVTC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 Yeah, I was wanting to get the 2600X, but for me, that was another $55, I was able to get the 1600X for $155, or the 2600X for $195. Considering what im upgrading from, the 1600X will be beyond better, right now, I have a AMD FX(tm)-6300, iv had this computer for almost 6 years now, everything is frankly crap, except the GPU and Main drive which I upgraded last year, but now with more income, I can do much more without going broke.

Huh? I dont understand what you mean...

Hello everyone, I was just wondering something, last week I ordered a new motherboard for a new budget build, and I GIGABYTE GA-AB350-Gaming 3, and didn't relies till after it had shipped that it wasn't the MSI Performance Gaming AMD Ryzen 1st and 2nd Gen. Now, im going to be putting in a Ryzen 1600X to this, but would it be worth the time (im in no rush, still waiting on the Ram, and going to get the other 16GB of Ram next payday, so I have time) to send back the GIGABYTE GA-AB350-Gaming 3 and get the MSI Performance Gaming AMD Ryzen 1st and 2nd Gen? Or does it not make a big difference besides the looks.

Hello everyone, just a quick question, a friend of just learned how to clone his old hard drive to a fresh new SSD, (I told him to do tha years ago but didnt listen) and everything seems to be fine except that after cloning, there is another drive popping up known as the System Reserved, as far as I was able to Google, its part of Windows 10, what I dont know is, should he hide that drive or just leave it be?

Hello again, a friend of mine suggested for what I am looking for, I should get this motherboard over the one I was looking at. Should I get: GIGABYTE GA-AB350-Gaming 3 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VWHXK94/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_4?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1GIGABYTE GA-AB350-Gaming 3 or should I get? MSI Gaming AMD X370 Gaming Pro https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Gaming-Ryzen-X370-Motherboard/dp/B06ZZT5KCN/ref=pd_sbs_147_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B06XQ5V3R4&pd_rd_r=86c4cdc6-cc4e-11e8-891f-0f79428572f9&pd_rd_w=5GupJ&pd_rd_wg=a30xc&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=7d5d9c3c-5e01-44ac-97fd-261afd40b865&pf_rd_r=5332ZJN22KE2P20KJJS2&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&refRID=5332ZJN22KE2P20KJJS2&th=1

I dont overclock, so im not worried about that.

$400-500 That Ram is way more then I was looking forward to getting. I was looking more at: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BJJMWXW/?coliid=I3BRIY1SNIXCJR&colid=B4MWBRZOU2PB&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it&th=1 or a set of these... Not sure on the MHz https://www.amazon.com/HyperX-Predator-2933MHz-Infrared-Technology/dp/B07GNFCX4K/ref=pd_sbs_147_1?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07CHPVVFN&pd_rd_r=c8f60cca-c9fc-11e8-89f8-c712fb8f1c61&pd_rd_w=29Ln1&pd_rd_wg=EnXRV&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=53dead45-2b3d-4b73-bafb-fe26a7f14aac&pf_rd_r=6HRSBNH65PCCBNDQNFS1&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&refRID=6HRSBNH65PCCBNDQNFS1&th=1 Edit: Found your ram you mentioned for almost $100 cheaper on amazon https://www.amazon.com/G-SKILL-Flare-288-Pin-Memory-F4-3200C14D-16GFX/dp/B06XFT7DF9/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1538894962&sr=1-1&keywords=G.Skill+Flare-X+F4-3200C14D-16GFX+16GB&dpID=51oVPDSAr5L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch I pretty much have everything else I need, 1TB SSD boot drive/4TB storage drive, Geforce GTX 1050 and between X or no X is about $15/20 difference.

Hello everyone again, a bit of a break from my last thread but now with the possibility of a now getting the parts by the beginning of next month. Iv been tinkering on upgrading my computer, as far as I understand, the motherboard,CPU/ram is just very outdated. Im also not looking to make a balls to the wall computer either, no need for it. Just some good gaming and streaming, I have a Geforce GTX 1050 which is just fine for me. I have a: GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 6.0) AM3+/AM3 AMD 760G USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard AMD (fx)-6300 6 Core Processor Kingston Value RAM 4GB 1600MHz PC3-12800 DDR3 Non-ECC CL11 DIMM SR x8 Destop Memory With that being said. I was told/thinking of something like a: GIGABYTE GA-AB350-Gaming 3 AMD Ryzen 5 1600/1600x (not sure what the difference is) HyperX Predator 16GB Ram (not sure what the max MHz that would work with the MB/CPU)

Could you please provide me some links for those?

Last time I checked (the time I wrote the last one) it was on amazon for around $150. Honestly, what motherboard/CPU/16GB Ram, would you recommend for lets say $400-500. Just to throw out some numbers. Mind you, I dont need the best, just something thats good.

Okay, can we simplify this for a moment with a few things? (all these names and numbers are getting me a little confused, because I dont know a huge amount about all the brands and whatnots of computers parts) With what information we have gathered throughout this, my PC is 5ish+ years old. 1) Should I continue to use my GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 (rev. 6.0) AM3+/AM3 AMD 760G USB 3.0 HDMI Micro ATX AMD Motherboard that is running a AMD (fx)-6300 6 Core Processor or get something newer? 1.1) Get newer/better ram of some sort. 2) If I should get something newer, would that MSI Arsenal Gaming Motherboard be better and if so, how much better? 2.1) And what CPU should I get that is good, not the best or worst, meet in the middle, or if there is a better one for a few bucks more, let me know too (links would be nice) 3) With said motherboard in 2, would the Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3000MHz be better suited for it?

So, should I get the new motherboard first, (and CPU) then the ram? Because thats just a little extra wait time for me, which is fine. But will the R5 1600 work with the MSI Arsenal?
