    Windows 10 Licenses are linked to your Microsoft Account, in additon the the MOBO with OEM licenses. So if you sign in with a Microsoft Account on the current install, it will be there one the new one.

    no, the license is linked to your mobo and will reactivate just fine, just skip all activation junk in setup

    Game Developers! What have you done????!!!!! You sexist monstrosities.........
     
    So, 97% of games shown at E3 contained a Male protagonist while only 3% featured exclusively a female protagonist.
     
    This is unbelievably sexist. How could you possibly think that a video game can't include women? Did you think that women don't play video games?
     
    Did you think they were not "manly" and therefore cannot play video games?
     
    Whatever the stupid excuses are, cut the BS and just add an option in your game to have a female main character.

    These numbers come from games demoed at E3 2016.
     
     
    Oh and this is what the feminazi movement had to say
     
     
    Game developers. What do you have to say for yourselves?

    I had the problem with the windows key and search bar not working when i first installed windows 10, I googled it and found a solution, it was a windows powershell command in cmd but i can't remember the website, google it and it might pop up. Hope this helped in some way.

    Kinda sad that some third party has to get the ball rolling on this. Meanwhile Microsoft continues with empty promises of supporting PC gaming.

    NoctHorn got a reaction from NoahBuscher in Is it possible to put a notebook cpu in a desktop?   
    First of all, there is a good chance that the CPU is  simply soldered to the motherboard.  If that's the case.  Reusing the CPU is impossible.  Even on the slight chance that it is socketed and removable, it uses a different kind of socket from desktop motherboards.
     
    Sorry, he needs a desktop CPU.

    NoctHorn reacted to GoodBytes in Surface 3   
    Surface 3 is a great device. You just must keep in mind that it is an Atom based processor. While the fastest and newest is used, it is still Atom. And if you get the 2GB of RAM model, it certainly doesn't help performance.
    While I haven't used the Surface 3 personally, having experience with Atom processor before, it is fine for basic computer tasks (watching video, using Office, surfing the web with IE11 (and later Edge in Win10 should be fine), Firefox is pushing it (slow startup, but fine once it has started up it is fine), and definitely forget Chrome due to low RAM, and slow CPU), but keep in mind to keep things in a single task basis. Multi-tasking will push the device. Limit your tabs also. Use bookmarks.
    A small problem also to keep in mind, is that you don't want it to page file much, due eMMC storage drive. While Microsoft used the last generation, fastest model of eMMC memory, it is still slower than an SSD.
    Also, due to the power of the Atom CPU requirement of the Surface 3, and limit of power of Micro-USB connector, you can't really charge the device while using it. It will take extremely long time to charge. You definitely want it in a full shutdown state to charge it. Shame Microsoft didn't use type-C USB, but that could be due to lack of available of USB 3.1 chip to add to the system. Apple uses a hacked up 3.1 USB controller which doesn't fall into the exact specs of USB 3.1 for the MacBook. I guess it is something that the Surface 4 will have fixed, if it comes out by then and doesn't cost too much. I think they should have used a power only connector, but that means that if you don't have the power adapter with you, you can't use your smart phone one to get power on the device. So I see the direction MS went. They wanted to minimize the power adapter to carry.
    Something else to keep in mind is that the device is in magnesium alloy body. While great and all, you can't dye it (in the sense that you either can't or the results won't look good). I haven't seen a device that used magnesium that died the magnesium body metal. They also paint it. The downside of this, while the device is magnesium color to minimize visibility, anything will scratch it. If you care about how it looks, you want to use a soft interior sleep or get the keyboard cover and also put the device on the table side of the keyboard (and the fabric style material grips the device). I don't know what degree you are doing, but in my case, for Computer Science, on my Surface Pro 2, the pen was amazing tool to have, as in Computer Science you either have Math classes, or classes that contain math, diagrams and such, and it is nice to type your notes, or complete prof notes and use the pen to quickly draw anything on the board and such. I use OneNote, highly recommend it. Best note taking software.
    Students can get Office 365 Home for free. That includes the ability to install Office on 5 PCs and also 5 devices.
    See your school for details. Usually typing your school name + Office 365 on the Googles, you'll find some news that your school revealed this and how to get it, if not see your school IT department for detail. If they don't manage it, you can get it here: https://products.office.com/en-us/student/office-in-education
    Remember that if you buy the Surface 3 and accessories directly from Microsoft Store (local or online) and you are a student, you get a 10% discount on everything!

    LOL, seriously tho. That proprietary Nvidia technology is a scourge of gaming industry. How many games recently, that had plastered ''the way it's meant to be played'' all over it, run like shit on AMD hardware? And what about incoming titles, like Witcher 3.
    Recommended specs:
    - Nvidia GPU GeForce GTX 770
    - AMD GPU Radeon R9 290
    Seriously? 290 vs 770 >.>
