Hi, I have a SSD that has the boot drive and I was wondering if I can transfer that over and use it as a boot drive going forward. I am upgrading everything expect the HDD and SDD. Do I need to use a USB to install windows or can I just add my old SSD and it should recognise the boot drive. I...

Hi guys having some trouble with my new PC build. Put my system together today, it boots up fine and I can enter the bios. I used the windows media creation tool to put windows 10 on a Fat32 drive and selected it as primary boot order in the bios. The trouble is, when I save and exit all I get...

I just received a PC build from Overclockers with an M.2 SSD (1Tb) in M1 position and 2.5" SSD (120Gb) in the P1 position. Windows 10 has been installed on the wrong hard drive: should've been the M.2 one, but has been installed on the 2.5" SSD instead. Trying to get in touch with Customer...

Thinking of doing a MB,CPU and RAM upgrade next month with a new GPU. My vacation to the USA and other trips was cancelled, didn't lose any money, so have some money to spend. Keeping my 1.48TB of SSDs. The only thing that concerns me is that Windows 10 will detect it as a new PC? Will I...

I was updated to Windows 2004 the other day and since then I've had an oddity: when I log in to Windows, instead of going straight to the login window, the screen blanks for an instant then brings up the login window. W2004 bollixed autoplay too, but I've disabled that.

Program fails to open at startup, popping up an error window. Uninstalling and reinstalling same result. SSD is a Samsung 840 EVO. This happened to anyone else yet? The Windows update came in today.

Hi guys, planning on eventually nuking my PC and doing a fresh install to Windows 10. I've currently got my Windows 7 configured just the way I like it - absolute bare minimum running, just the bare essentials. When I boot I only have 26 processes running, i'd like to configure Windows 10 the...

Hi all, Posting here as I am at my wits end and most IT tech companies around me aren't taking new jobs atm due to COVID! I have had an ongoing issue with Windows 10 (64-bit) updates not downloading, and the Security Centre missing completely - ever since a malware infection, which was...

Over the years, I have ripped my CD collection and converted it to MP3s. I have done this using at one time and another ExactAudioCopy (EAC) and dBpoweramp (and possibly other things as well, I can't recall). As a result, I have ended up with .MP3s in an assortment of folders and sub-folders on...

Hey be great if you could help me ! I've bought a server a while ago to share files between a few computers in my house. On one computer it comes up as z:// another d:// and I can use the files as another hard disk. I can't access on two other computers I have unless I go through a laborious...
