And you know if you won the lotto , 3 ultra wide 1440p screens for surround gaming would have to be bought for a custom built gaming room

haha

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 08:01

Im fortunate enough to have my own gaming room at the moment, however that'll change when I buy my own place!

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 08:24

Does no one know if a better option for downloading win10 then? Really don't want to end up leaving a pc on overnight to get the ISO file

orbitalwalsh · 26 Apr 2018 at 08:43

Unless you know someone with windows CD ?

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 08:47

I do not

orbitalwalsh · 26 Apr 2018 at 08:50

Only thing I can think of is off the bay :/

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 08:53

Hmm looks like I just need to sit it through! May try and contact Microsoft and see if they have a better way

What’s your internet speed? I had to download it twice and it was pretty quick.

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 13:24

35 down ish. Fastest we get in our area currently

Try deleting your temporary internet files/browser history. If you haven't done this for a while then this can sometimes cobble downloads.

Unless, of course, you clear it after every usage because you're buying so many gifts...

It's her birthday in a few weeks.. and I've spent £850.. I'm sure she'd love an SSD anyway.

I'll try deleting the files

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 18:17

Deleted the files as suggested an it's getting there a lot quicker now!
Got home to a quarter of my build being delivered (albeit in the wrong place, thanks DPD...) the buzz is starting!

orbitalwalsh · 26 Apr 2018 at 18:34

All being delivered today ?

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 18:35

Nope the rest will be here tomorrow

That would drive me mad haha

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 18:49

Yeah, it's my own fault. I chose the delivery date to be friday from the other company. Not sure why. Mental blip haha

On another note. I think I have the Windows Boot drive ready. The setup completed, but midway through a popup came up saying you will need to format this drive to use it. I clicked cancel because surely that would have deleted what had been put in the usb to start with. Was that correct?

orbitalwalsh · 26 Apr 2018 at 18:54

Normally you format at the start and cancel any formatting . Been a while since I've done Ben drive windows

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 19:45

fingers crossed it works! Any idea on the best way of finding and transferring save game files? Don't want to lose my Dirt Rally save haha

orbitalwalsh · 26 Apr 2018 at 20:09

Is it via steam ? Sure you can save to their cloud ? Or must be a folder within steam folder for saved games
