  1. Context: I am planning a new PC build. My previous PC is completely totaled and has no use. At all. The only other PC I have are some Chromebooks. So, I am building A new PC. The only problem is, I have no PC to actually download windows off of. I do some research and, I found a way to make a bootable usb drive on chrome. Question: I am now windows expert or a generally smart person, but the recovery software I am using supports only .bin files, not the usual .iso. If I have a usb drive with a '.bin file of windows' on it, can I use it to boot into windows? Sources: https://technastic.com/create-a-bootable-usb-on-chrome-os/ -here, I must convert the iso file I download to a bin file and create a bootable drive from it. I am wondering how if I can use that .bin file to boot. IDK if that even matters.
  2. Thank you. You are a life saver.
  3. Yea um... I just linused my PC and broke it. but this lets me get around to building that new build I've been planning. But I have a big problem. The only other computers I have access to are the array of chromebooks I have for some reason. I am not an expert at installing windows, but I am wondering If I can install windows off of the Microsoft website, off of a chromebook, to a thumbdrive. Please help, I haven't properly game in like a day and a half.

When the R3 3100 is available, It will add another 100 dollars to the price. The Main reason I am planning a build I am not buying until August-September is to see how the price will change. I downgraded form the 2600 and 1660s for the sake of my budget This is the Full setup, including a monitor, Mic kit, Desk and most peripherals. My path for upgardes will be +8gb of ram, 1660s, and then a new CPU when It is needed. I am planning on using my external Drives for Games and media files.
  6. I'm planning on actually building this sometime near the end of the summmer. I'll work all summer and save up. And thank you for the suggestions. and what do you mean by the 1660s? The 1660 super?

  9. I really just want to actually use it on my tv, but I am a pcmr so I really don't have any consoles. I already have java, and I don't like win 10.
  10. Some of my friends have a realm, which is on bedrock. I do not have bedrock, so I am buying it. I have a fire tv stick, so I want to put it to use and use it for it Minecraft fire tv edition. I am attempting to buy it, but it says my fire tv is not supported. I assume I needed a controller. Before I buy it, I want to know FOR SURE that the controller is the problem, and if there are any other things I need to know to play Minecraft on this version. Here is the screenshot of the Amazon page, I want to get it on 'Patrick's fire' but as you can see, it is not supported.
