Can't believe we are on 59 pages. Bloody hell.

Windows installed. I plugged in ethernet. It's checking for updates now on start up.

Well, that memory was a bitch - and then you had to decide what to do next.

Plus, you've effectively took apart 2 computers, troubleshooted and tested all components, flashed BIOSs and tried every conceivable way to restore another and now built a PC - without ever fully understanding what you're doing at any given time (but suspect you have the knowledge now).

Quite impressive for 59 pages...

It's been a rough old ride. Couldn't of done it without you mate.

Damn it didn't activate.

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 23:24

So I don't need to worry about downloading stuff from gigabyte site?

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 23:27

I'll try them on chat first tomorrow and see if I get any luck, what shall I say?

Right install my graphics card driver and I'm ready to go!

Did you get your steam voucher code?

I did.. but not sure how to claim it?

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 23:32

Actually I say I did but it said it in the title of where I bought it from but haven't received a code or anything.

Plec said:
Odd - don't you claim it from Gigabyte? A bit like the Nvidia wildlands deal?

Think you claim it on their site. Have to put in motherboard serial number in and stuff.

That thread was only 14 pages...

...thought it was longer (more complicated than this one)

Will give it a read.

MSI AfterBurner

I'm calling it a night mate. Going to boot off and do the rest tomorrow. Just glad we are up and running now..

Thanks for the help again. Got to get hard drive installed tomorrow, cable management (which is going to be a nightmare as my power supply isn't even semi modular), get RAM up to speed and activate Windows.

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 23:50

I need a beer.

Just a thought, I have a laptop with Windows 10 upstairs and that is also tied to my MS account, could I get a key from that and use it for my PC?

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 23:54

Damn, I've took a photo of the key anyway and will try tomorrow just incase...

And take pics tomorrow before you start.

Will do

Morning! What shall I say to them on live chat Plec?

BeadyRoller · 13 May 2017 at 09:37

Let's hope they go with that! I'm going to add my hard drive now, the last part to add! Do you want some pictures?
