Thank you both! this is super helpful. I did run into not being able to download it directly from Microsoft due to it being a laptop product key as well (gave me an error and told me to contact the manufacturer...). I’ll keep this in mind when looking for ISO files again for this laptop. Thanks!

I am trying to reinstall Windows 7 onto a new HDD for a friend's Dell XPS 15Z laptop, and I have been have major difficulty finding the correct ISO files for this model. It is for a Dell XPS 15Z (X16-96072). Anyone with ISO files for this specific model would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

@elsandosgrande Managed to get 'sudo libinput list-devices' to work :') (still learning my way around Linux so all of this is super helpful) (realized I didn't use code break but here's what I got): Device: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard Kernel: /dev/input/event3 Group: 9 Seat: seat0, default Capabilities: keyboard Tap-to-click: n/a Tap-and-drag: n/a Tap drag lock: n/a Left-handed: n/a Nat.scrolling: n/a Middle emulation: n/a Calibration: n/a Scroll methods: none Click methods: none Disable-w-typing: n/a Accel profiles: n/a Rotation: n/a Device: SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad Kernel: /dev/input/event13 Group: 10 Seat: seat0, default Size: 98x58mm Capabilities: pointer gesture Tap-to-click: disabled Tap-and-drag: enabled Tap drag lock: disabled Left-handed: disabled Nat.scrolling: disabled Middle emulation: disabled Calibration: n/a Scroll methods: *two-finger edge Click methods: *button-areas clickfinger Disable-w-typing: enabled Accel profiles: none Rotation: n/a Checked sudo dmesg --human and neither device appears in any form in this input.

Tried recreating with list-devices and external peripheral and no changes.

@elsandosgrandeI ran that and neither the keyboard or touchpad appeared. They both started working though after I plugged in an external mouse (and worked after I unplugged it). After I restarted the laptop, they didn't work again, and wouldn't work again even after plugging my external mouse again. Any thoughts?

I decided to put Ubuntu on to an old HP Pavilion 11 x360 2-in-1 laptop, and the touchpad and keyboard worked fine before I did the official installation. Afterwards, only the touchscreen worked and the keyboard and touchpad were not responsive. the keyboard inputs work in BIOS, so I know it must come down to a Linux kernel/patch for both the touchpad and keyboard. I'm trying to avoid using external devices (except for when I'm fixing this issue of course) so anyone with experience using Linux/Ubuntu that has resources or suggestions how I could solve this issue for this device would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Okay thanks for the tip! I’ll look into the 2x 16GB. It’s an AMD Ryzen 7 1700x.

Yeah 16GBhas been enough but I’ve been planning on doing some heavy VRing and wanted to also see what my system could handle so any recommendations on RAM to use to max out my system in all the slots ??

My current MSI Tomahawk B450 (MS-7C02) motherboard currently is using 16GB of Corsair Vengence (CMK16GX4M2A2400C16) but I want to maximize my RAM slots and amount of RAM I can use on my build. Any recommendations on brand/model/type of RAM to use with this motherboard? Haven’t had success finding RAM I can go above 16GB with and use more than 2 slots with. Thanks community!

I'll give this a try. Thanks Spooky!

I've been trying to update my Windows 10 system to version 1903 and consistently been running into the following error: Feature update to Windows 10, version 1903 - Error 0xc190012e I've tried the following solutions linked below, but none have clarified why I've having this error (nor have I been able to pin point the cause): https://windowsreport.com/error-0xc190012e/ https://www.howtoedge.com/fix-windows-update-error-0xc190012e-in-windows-10/#jump1 Any input or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
