thats what i came up with

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

Spoiler

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

I'm a fan of larger, higher resolution monitors; especially for general productivity and editing software.

A word of warning. That may or may not work on new hardware. 

 

Although there are workarounds, Microsoft is just making things difficult for Windows 7 on newer hardware. :(

thats stupid. As long as its 64 bit technically it should work, right? Also there is a way windows 7 can be upgraded to windows 10, I saw an article recently

In my experience, Windows 7 fails to install with a ACPI error.  This happened to me on a 2200g + A320 combo for a friend and no amount of tweaking the bios or trying different installers would let Windows 7 install on that setup.  Was forced to use Windows 8.1 on it.

 

Also, why bother with a Windows 7 to Windows 10 upgrade when you can straight up do a clean install on Windows 10 without having to have to install Windows 7 first? 

 

Besides as of Windows 10 (1709), a Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 key is still accepted for activation.

I'm a little confused, so you can install Windows 10 with a 7 key? I don't think what I think is right but I'm curious.

I download windows 10 pro and use the windows 7 key code to activate, it worked so far. 

Anyway I'm down to my last 13 codes and I usually only give them to customers that can't afford to buy the codes for free.

The post was not stupid. In fact assuming that a driver base written before a motherboard was even designed would work without issue strikes me as overly optimistic.

I guess. I meant I thought it was silly that windows 7 won't work, unless you already understood that which I assume you did. It makes sense and I think it's silly because I was hoping to move a copy of 7 over on to a new build then upgrade to 10. I'm sure I can get an oem copy of 10 or something
