  1. Hii. I'd like to do a clean install of windows. I have 2 storage drives in my pc. 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD Before I clean install windows, I'd like to move all my files to my HDD. Remove the HDD, and do the clean installation of windows with only my SSD inside. I dont want to lose my files. I have a question regarding moving the files. The only concern I have is that I dont know how to correctly move the files. I have all my drivers and utilities on my SSD. How do I deal with them? Should I keep them there and let them be formatted along with everything else (and reinstall them afterwards) or can I just cut> Paste them (the folders) into my D drive? Is it a bad idea to do all of this? Should I just do a clean install with both drives in my PC?
  2. Wow, that is amazing. I will be doing that! Thank you guys
  3. I have a 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD I was thinking of putting all my files on the HDD I have a few things on the SSD that needs to be moved. After I do that, can I unplug the HDD and do a clean install with only the SSD in my PC? And then plug it back in.Can it be that simple?
  4. Thank you! Hopefully it works, if it does not.I'll be doing a clean install Thanks for the help
  5. Thanks for the link.That is what I'll be trying
  6. Because I just bought a windows 10 home key but my pc is using windows 10 pro (unactivated) I want to get rid of the watermark at the bottom right of my screen
  7. Are you 2 not recommending installing windows this way? I'd prefer not to do a clean install and lose my files
  8. Hii. I have unactivated windows 10 pro on my PC. I bought a Windows 10 Home Key. I cant use the key because I have windows 10 pro. Anyways, I found this tutorial on youtube which I will be doing later tonight. I just have one question, before I ask. I'll link the video and also type all the steps which he said to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTjLd57QgDY Here are the steps he gave : Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion Change these registry keys: Product name = Windows 10 Home Edition id = core Navigate to: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion Change these registry keys: Product name = windows 10 Home Edition id = core Download media creation tool https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/softw... Mount Windows ISO and install Windows 10 Home My question is, I downloaded the windows 10 ISO file from Microsoft website here. https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 Can I skip the download windows media creation tool and get the ISO file through windows media creation tool and instead just mount the ISO I downloaded last night? Thanks! I have limited wifi, this is why I am asking. The only step I want to skip is getting the ISO through windows media creation tool
  9. I want to format my PC and install windows home because I have the wrong version (unactivated win 10 pro) on my PC. Do I need to download windows media creation tool and make my own bootable windows USB or can I just use the USB that came with my windows 10 home retail pack? Sorry if this question seems stupid
  10. Can I put al my files on my HDD and then disconnect it from my PC.What I do next is keep my 256GB ssd inside my pc and format + install windows 10 home? I have one question, how do I install win10 home and what happens to my drivers? Will I need to reinstall them?
  11. Can I reinstall free windows and make it free windows home and after that is done, I just put in my windows activation code while keeping all my files?
  12. I just bought windows 10 home USB retail pack (64 bit) I am currently using free windows and in the bottom right corner it says activate windows. When I installed free windows it gave me the option between windows pro and home (64 bit)_ I chose Pro. Now I am trying to activate my windows with USB. I just put the USB in and I clicked on Setup.exe And the problem is, it is saying that I want to install windows 10 pro and not home. I bought Win 10 Home.
  13. So I want to upgrade my phone.Right now Im using a Samsung Galaxy Note 5. I was thinking of either getting an S10e or an iPhone XR. The iPhone XR is as high as I will go in budget (750 USD) When I heard about a cheaper iPhone I thought I will definitely get it but when I was looking at the specs.It doesnt even have a 1080p screen and I can tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on a phone. Then again I have never used an apple device. What do you think I should get?
  14. Hi, so I have this really old laptop that I want to use. It is an Asus X54C. I recently formatted it and put on the free windows 10 32bit home on it with a usb.I did all the windows updates but cant seem to install the drivers. On the driver page from Asus, there is no driver support for windows 10.Also, the laptop has 2GB of ram and windows 10 home 32 bit makes it quite slow. Should I just switch back to windows 7 home premium or will drivers fix my issue? https://www.asus.com/Laptops/X54C/HelpDesk_Download/
  15. Are these all the drivers I need to install when I put the gpu in my pc?When I click on expand all I get more options/versions. https://www.asus.com/za/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-RX570-O4G-GAMING/HelpDesk_Download/ Also, I am currently using the integrated vega 11 graphics in my Ryzen 5 3400G cpu, are there any drivers I need to uninstall? Last question,should I install the drivers after or before I insert the gpu? I am downloading them from the official manufacturer site.
  16. So the rx570 will be able to handle pubg at 1080p/60fps medium settings?
  17. The price difference between rx 570 and 590 is not much, I could get the difference in a week. Should I instead save up for the RX 590 FatBoy?
  18. Should I get this gpu? https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-Radeon-Gaming-Graphics-ROG-STRIX-RX570-O4G-GAMING/dp/B06Y5WGXX3 I live in South Africa and right now it is on sale for 170 USD. This is my current build : Ryzen 5 3400G (using the iGPU) B450 tomahawk 2×8GB DDR4 3200MHZ Ram Also, will I be able to play most games at 1080p 60fps (regardless of graphic settings)? Lastly, will I be able to run PUBG and Rust at 60fps 1080p medium settings?
  19. Hi, so this is my current build : Ryzen 5 3400G 2×8gb 3200mhz ram B450 Tomahawk mobo The most demanding games I'll be playing are PUBG and Rust. Currently I am using the Vega 11 iGPU, and I cant even get 60fps on average on 720p lowest settings in Rust In PUBG its only playable also at 720p Lowest settings. I wont be listing my budget because I'll save up a bit longer for something more decent When playing PUBG and Rust, I want to be playing them at 1080p medium settings at 60fps. So which GPU should I get for my requirements?
  20. 3200mhz ram and 2GB assigned to the iGPU. The vega 11 is performing quite well its just that I'd prefer to have a dGPU.
  21. Hi, I recently put my pc together.I am currently using the integrated Vega 11 iGPU thats in my Ryzen 5 3400G. The rest of my specs : 2x 8GB 3200MHZ ram MSI B450 Tomahawk mobo Anyways,the most demanding games I plan on playing is : PUBG, Rust and DayZ I was thinking of getting a RX 570 4GB or RX 580 8GB. My budget is from 300 USD to 400 USD, btw I use another currency but I converted it to USD to make it easier. At first I was planning on a RTX 2060 but then I realized that I might not use it to its full potential since I'll only be playing online games that aren't that demanding so I started looking at cheaper budget GPUs like the RX 570 and 580. What I'm hoping to get is a GPU that can let me play Rust and PUBG at 1080p high or medium settings at 60fps. If you think I should get another gpu that I didnt list please tell me, thank you.
  22. I fixed it.All I had to do was just manage my plugs better.
  23. Heh, yeah,but the youtube vids make the game look so good O.O
