Can't say I can recommend Intel 13th/14th gen cpu's right now with their whole voltage shenanigans.

Ooof. Depends on how bad it is, it could be fixed with some basic hand tools. If you have access to the socket's pin map and you can correlate it to the pin map, you can at least check to see if that pin's used for anything. Sometimes they're just extra ground pins that might not be a problem...

They behave more like a virus/malware than they do as an antivirus. They ride on their past reputation. It's still like that. Sometimes I forget it's even installed. It just does its thing in the background. Only time it does a push notification is to tell you that it updated to the latest...

I personally use Bitdefender Free, but Windows Defender is perfectly fine as well. I would avoid AVG or Norton like the plague.

Only if the bios supports it. Dell/HP love to bios lock their desktops to specific chips back in those days.

Yeah going with a pair that had 2Rx8 and mixing with 1Rx8 sticks could be an issue. As john has said, you should really get matching sticks of ram. Especially older PC's.

I mean... the better question is... who the hell still uses molex power connectors in 2024?

It's not hard.

Ente Auth is another one.

There are a ton of youtube tutorials on how to do it. It's not rocket science, anybody can do it.

I've got no issues with the PDF file format itself. Adobe Acrobat sucks tho... which is hilarious since they created the file format.

Your CPU is intel 7th gen core processors. There are work arounds to make Win 11 install on unsupported cpu's but these work arounds could close at any time from Microsoft updates. Honestly not worth the hassle. If your machine is still fine for what you do, I would suggest you just keep...

bits is lower case b. Bytes is in upper case B. You've been mixing and matching in your original post which is why there was confusion. What switches are you using?

Not remotely true... but what sort of games are you playing or want to play?

You can do this using Pivot Tables. Set up your spreadsheet with the columns as listed and format them as Tables and give it a name. You can then create a PivotTable for that named Table and you can get it to Sort and Calculate rolling averages per month.

When you went through the cloning process with the software, when it told you to shutdown and set the bios boot sequence to the SSD, did you disconnect the old HDD for the first boot? Typically, when I clone OS drives over to another drive, once that cloning is completed and you have to set the...

Did you use a software to clone the HDD or did you just "copy" all the files over?

Ehhh I've been talking about one for quite some time now. Probably ever since the 12900K era where those things draw 250W+ stock. lol

Probably not going to be an apples to apples comparison when you're looking at a laptop chip vs a desktop chip. But as @beers has said, it's not really the time to look at Intel's 13th or 14th gen chips right now. Especially those that draw more than 65W TDP. Recent news about them indicate...

Dang those write speeds are trash.
