First PC Build - Warning, thread will have blunders.

Of c ourse the 2700 comes on sales hours after I order it! Granted it would only save £6 but still!

NathanL · 25 Apr 2018 at 19:31

I didn't! They didn't even let me have that when I asked! So ended up spending £550+ at a competitor and only £200 here

NathanL · 25 Apr 2018 at 19:35

Oh *******! Didn't figure that out! Bet they won't reimburse!

NathanL · 25 Apr 2018 at 20:05

Just done, hopefully they're kind

NathanL · 25 Apr 2018 at 21:20

Any quick ways of downloading win10? Just tried the installation tool and it took an hour to get to 3%

NathanL · 25 Apr 2018 at 21:22

Yeah the installation tool took seconds, but downloading the ISO file was taking forever!

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 07:41

That to me just seems like a waste of money!

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 07:54

Hmm I guess so.

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

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 08:47

I do not

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

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 13:24

35 down ish. Fastest we get in our area currently

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 14:34

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!

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 18:35

Nope the rest will be here tomorrow

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?

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

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 20:16

Ah I see, yes. Dirt Rally has Cloud sync. Thanks

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 20:24

Thing is Plec, doesn't that back up ALL the files? Rather than just save game?

Think I've got it though, I've found thre Dirt Rally files I want. I don't really care that much for the rest at the moment, maybe the witcher 3 but I'm happy enough taking the risk of the cloud storage with that one
