    M.2 NVMe Support

    Windows 7 or 10? I guess to get a m.2 to work in 7 you have to do a little hacking.

    How to prevent computer from being hacked?

    More safe? Maybe. There's malware for Macs as well. Even Linux. No doubt. Well, at least with the top echelon. Not so much the rank and file. There's even FBI agents calling out their previous boss. But that's a story for another day.

    Can I install Windows 10 and Keep my games and files from Windows 7?(FIXED) (SOLUTION FOUND)

    1) Do you want a built-in keylogger in your computer? (It can be turned off? But why's it there in the first damn place?) 2) Read the Win 10 EULA and see what all the Info. it is they pull from your activities. Free is NEVER free. You're Redmond's cash cow with 10. There. Those are my...

    Cannot boot Win XP.

    If you do manage to do a system restore, I would test the HDD. In fact there are tools on those live CDs that will allow you to do that. Be honest with you, I have had more Seagate drives fail on me it's unreal.

    How to prevent computer from being hacked?

    If you're like me and read how they hack things from various sites and Twitter pages, you'll be able to stay a step ahead of the game. You need to learn how they do it to learn how to prevent it. Make sense? Run Sandboxie for your browser. Scan all downloads at virus total. Never trust...

    CPU Not Booting On, No signs of power

    Simple test. Get a multimeter and test the power from a hard drive connector. I believe the yellow and black wire should give you 12 volts. What is the make and model of the PSU? How old is it?

    NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS Rev. 4 EVGA 1GB Edition

    What games do you intend on playing? It's possible. Maybe not so much with games from 2010 though unless you turn down some settings in the game.

    Is a flash drive almost the same as an external HD?

    I would go with Adata for a thumb drive. They offer a lifetime warranty. Not sure if others offer this or not.

    Send and receive txt messages on computer

    Does anyone remember that thing called E-mail? https://20somethingfinance.com/how-to-send-text-messages-sms-via-email-for-free/ Edit- I just noticed that I had to use MMS and not SMS. I have Cricket so not sure if that's different for other carriers or not. I was able to send to my E-mail...

    The option for AHCI will be under the SATA options and will say AHCI in BIOS.

    (Resolved) Want Free No Watermark Software to merge 2 Videos into 1 and Format Change

    Yeah, Freemake pissed me off with that crap. So I just moseyed on over to oldversion.com or oldapps.com and found an older copy. Problem solved. Do you use OBS studio or FRAPS? OBS is pretty decent and the file size is a hell of a lot smaller vs FRAPS. You probably should use MP4 for a smaller...

    buying used laptop without OS

    I don't think it has UEFI. You can install 7 on it with the product key providing that product key is meant for 7. Keep in mind it has to be for that specific version. So if the product key is for Win 7 professional, then you have to use professional and not ultimate as an example. There's...

    Smart Cell Phone

    That would be the gyroscope. :D Edit-- I guess you're half right. From Google.

    Changing location of my router

    I would just have Comcast come out and hook your cable line up over getting an extender. The extender will probably slow you down, and ethernet is a hell of a lot more faster and stable.

    Fast Boot vs Ultra Fast

    Here's the rule of thumb. Use regular slow boot when you install an operating system or change hardware. You need to remember that though. Use ultra fast after everything is installed and working. There shouldn't be an issue with ultra fast. Are you using an SSD?

    buying used laptop without OS

    I buy bare bone laptops on eBay all the time. Since you are looking at an older 2013 Delll, it should have a product key on it for the OS that was used. These are OEM so it shouldn't be a problem installing Windows 7 or whatever on it. Although, I have no idea about 10 and this embedded crap...
