Either this or he couldn't be bothered trying to explain to the IT teachers what was actually happening and just smiled and nodded. He seemed pretty competent to me. But a few of those who taught IT didn't. It took another semester, but they changed to a client image or virtual machine or something. Not sure what terminology i'm looking for here, because its something I've never done, but the computers took several extra minutes to boot and you couldn't do any permanent damage anymore. If you logged off and back on again you had a brand new clean desktop with all your applications and any changes you'd made in your previous session were gone. And if you were in year 12 (Australian school system, year 12 is your final year), you got an extra application... GTA, playable across the network. We were allowed to play it in our free periods.

Actually there was also a time back in 99 when i was alone in a school computer lab at lunch. I had just needed to print something and the IT teacher had been cool with it and left me to it. After printing i had the humorous idea to make a quick powerpoint slide that simply said "Virus" in big letters and then changed the font to one that flashed different colours. I started the slideshow and left the lab. The next day, that lab was closed and the IT guy was formatting all the computers in that room.

My mother keeps everything on the desktop. When i upgraded her machine yonks ago, i moved her from Windows ME to 7 with a new build. She made me put everything from the old desktop on the new desktop in a folder called "old desktop". Not long ago i upgraded her machine again. There is now a folder on the desktop called "old desktop" that contains a folder called "old desktop". I got curious recently. The highest tier had a last modified that matched the day i did the upgrade. The lower tier was around the time she moved to windows 7. She's never opened either folder again. I've nearly convinced her that she should move to windows 10 and expect to be making a new "old desktop" folder soon.
EDIT: I almost forgot that on the initial computer when she finally ran out of space for new icons she bought an external hard drive because she thought that meant the hard drive was full.
 
There was a time she thought the sound was broken and when i came round it was a driver issue. I dont remember the exact conversation but i do remember only realising days later that must have been why she left the room, came back and put her drivers license on the desk next to me. At the time i thought she must have been prepping to do something that required id when i had finished. I imagine she still thinks her drivers license fixed the sound issue.
 
She constantly complains about voices on the tv being too soft, but wont raise the volume because "no, its loud enough".
 
She's convinced her 2008 bravia had hdr and i must have broke it when i connected the wii for the first time. She's also convinced her 2016 LG had hdr (her model doesn't have hdr) until i plugged in the PS4.
 
My dad thought the whole internet was owned by bill gates and was stored in a big industrial structure called "Silicon Valley".
 
And the one that really gets me down, people who think they're tech savvy because they can (barely) use an iPad, but still think Wi-Fi and internet are the same thing... 

I use the AOMEI Partition Assistant for my drive issues.  So far I haven't found anything that it couldn't fix.  Maybe it can help you, only way to find out is to try.  And it is FREE too.  Just don't forget to click the button in the top left corner between steps.

Good Luck and happy holiday.

Don't see anything here that needs upgrading unless you want ray tracing cores... But there's almost no games yet that use it.
 
Instead buy some beer and feel like a balla for already having a sweet rig.

Yup should be fine. I've run 3 HDDs off a triple sata cable and they are way worse for drawing power than RGB hubs and a commander pro.

Are any of your other monitors mirroring (mirroring duplicating, whatever its called). When there's mirroring going on, even if its not the high refresh rate monitor, then windows will lock down the refresh rate of all monitors to the best that the worst one can do.
 
I ran into this when i got my 240hz monitor, but was hampered by my graphics tablet mirroring on my second monitor which are both 60hz.

The only way i can think of doing it would require you to have some peripherals to setup the desktop, like installing windows, whatever bios stuff you need to setup, etc. But then you can use remote desktop from the laptop into the desktop. You would have an amount of lag based on your network setup, ie are you using ethernet or wireless.

Or just dont do stuff while its on. Its really not that hard to turn it off to do stuff.

amusingly i also have all of these in my old stuff drawer... Except the floppy drive ide cable. I have a floppy drive and an LS120 drive, but i dont have the ide cables for it, nor any idea how or if one connects ide devices to modern mobos.
