Well that's unfortunate. That board doesn't have wifi built in - quite a lot of mobos nowadays do. Yeah that seems to be the way. Also to expand on it, usb wifi sticks are awful. Don't use them.

which MSI motherboard is that? (model number)

A lot of other laptops offer that level of battery performance now. That's not an Apple exclusive feature.

You should really wait until you've got the budget for the whole build.

Honestly most of the big brands are (i.e. MSI, Gigabyte, etc...). The only good experience I've had before with warranty is EVGA and they're basically a shell of what they used to be.

You can also do it through Google's Chrome Remote Desktop. I find that more seamless and easy to use than RDP from Windows.

I would start with the GPU and PSU upgrade first. See what you're getting in games, and if you're still not satisfied, then proceed with upgrading the CPU and RAM. As for the PSU recommendations, there's a PSU Tier list that's really helpful in identifying good PSU's from the bad ones...

Neither have I. I don't recall seeing mass complaints about AM5 and DDR5 in general. Although the occasional non QVL part could throw a tantrum in very specific combos.

It can be with the older Ryzen cpu's. The IMC wasn't as robust and often struggled with timings. Which G Skill kit is this (part #) and which Asus X670e mobo (part #)?

I wouldn't rely on that for gaming performance at all. The 7800X3D would lay a smack down on the i5 12600, especially games that are cache demand heavy (i.e. simulation games, or lots of physics based calculations). If you have a 2nd monitor, just have task manager opened and check if your...

Where are you looking? You're probably running low on memory on those games.

You got a specific budget? For gaming, I'd probably suggest any of the AMD X3D chips at this point. Would probably suggest you look into the 7800X3D, or if the budget's a bit tighter, the old 5800X3D but that would be buying onto a dead platform.

They finally shut down the loophole late last year. Unless there's another one that propped up, the free update chain is gone.

If your computer's old enough to run Win 7, it won't run Win 11 out of the box. Also, the free upgrade to Win 10 from Win 7 has ended and Win 10's losing security updates soon as well. I would suggest you to reinstall Win 7 first and see how that goes. Do you have a 2nd hard drive or a 2nd...

My gut feeling is there is something unusual with Win 7. If this was happening on my machine, I would've likely pushed the nuclear button and reinstalled Windows. If that still happens after a full format/reset, then it's very likely a hardware issue.

Have you tried disabling hardware acceleration on the Chrome browser?

Is... that windows 7 or vista?

Overclocks UK has one and will be a lot faster than the HP you quoted...

Maybe...? You'll probably be okay in most cases. I haven't checked, but you can see if your monitor's on Nvidia's officially supported/tested list for g-sync compatible. If it isn't, you can still force it through the Nvidia Control Panel. RT really depends on the game. Some do it well, some...

You probably bricked the bios.
