This budget being up to roughly 300 euros (roughly 330 USD. Though of course, prices of products may vary by region anyway). I had my eye on the AOC Q27P1. Coincidentally, it was also the cheapest of all the monitors I had a look at. Are there any obvious shortcomings to this one that another monitor in my budget would fix? The Adobe RGB coverage isn't great I think, but the sRGB is. I'm a beginning, small-scale content creator for a webtore I'll be running with my girlfriend. Mostly for social media. Including some short videos and work with Illustrator and Photoshop. Edit: I guess it's worth mentioning that I'm not really a PC gamer, so that's not really a concern here

Yeah, they're both VESA 100s. I'm starting to think the "26 inch recommendation" is probably just a general cut-off point for most consumers.

Right, thank you. This exact floor stand doesn't have an arm. It doesn't really say anything about if I can secure the stand or if I can twist it around freely, but I can't imagine that it wouldn't attach. So I'm assuming I should be good?

Due to the exact circumstances of my setup, my best option for buying a VESA stand is getting a VESA floor stand to place behind my desk, between monitor speaker stands. The new monitor I have my eyes on is a 27 inch one, whereas the only VESA stand that I could find that would work for my situation only supports screens of up to 26 inches. However, the weight that it supports far exceeds the weight of the monitor. Does going an inch over the recommended size matter a lot? If at all? How do they determine the size of monitor they support? Is it a stability issue?

I did that for my m.2, that's what I've been saying. The reason I put my SATA in there in the first place is because it didn't work on my m.2. So I put the SATA in there to figure out if my m.2 is broken or not. And I find it suspicious that I always have to convert it to GPT after every attempt. But thank you for your help and time! I'm getting sorta desperate.

Thank you for your response! Sadly, I've tried reinstalling several times, on the m.2, without the SATA connected, and every time I did not only do what you suggested. I also had to convert the disk to GPT because EVERY TIME, the Windows installer told me it couldn't be installed on an MBR disk. And then when I do all of that and install, I get the same problem.

Awesome! Thank you!

Update So I tried installing Windows on my old SATA SSD. It went a bit better, but when it initially restarted after first installing it, it prompted me to choose between 2 volumes with Windows installations. I tried formatting the drive and installing again, but then it gave me 4 volumes with Windows installs. Furthermore, when I try installing it on my M.2, I l prompted that it has to be converted from MBR to GPT. So I've had to convert it every time before I could install it. So both my old SATA as well as my new M.2 SSD's have trouble having Windows installed on them in their own unique ways. This leads me to believe it's a bios or motherboard issue? Also, which mod do I best contact to move this topic to the troubleshooting section?

I tried redownloading the install. That didn't do anything unfortunately. Now I tried a different USB stick, however now it's telling me to convert the partition to GPT again. Which, when I do that, it gives me an error. Saying that optical drives are examples of disks that cannot be converted. I tried repositioning my m.2 in a different slot. Same problem.

Hiya folks. New here. Well, I just put together my first pc in ages. A stressful build no less. It's an AMD Ryzen 9 3900x, with currently 32 GB of dual channel 3200 DDR4 RAM. On an Asus b450 motherboard, with the bios updated to the most recent version that supporters the latest Ryzen processors. As well as a GTX 1660 chipset videocard and a 500 GB M.2 nvme SSD. Mostly for music production and video editing and more general computer tasks. Anyway. The build posts. And I managed run the Windows Installer off the USB stick without a hitch. Only when it restarts, I get an error message. It goes back and forth between reporting that different system32 files are missing or corrupted, though sometimes reports that "the digital signature for this file couldn't be verified" with some error code. At one point trying to install Windows, I also had to convert my SSD from MBR to GPT. During the assembly, some isopropyl 99,9 ended up on the CPU pins, which I removed with a fan toothbrush. Though all sources say that my CPU should be fine. Is this a hardware issue and what would the issue be?
