Great info, thanks. I already have f10 installed (latest for my particular mobo). I'm going to skip the UEFI beta.
System is running nicely and quite snappy for an old dog. Got power-on to...
I've decided to leave well enough alone for now, and stick with the Award BIOS rather than flash to the UEFI. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it if I ever want to upgrade this PC to win11,...
Megahertz one more question... then I will :)
I just (really just) realized that gigabyte has a(n old) "beta" bios to flash this mobo to UEFI capability. If I'm going to try this now's the time,...
Where did you find this info? I was searching a bit yesterday to see if this was the issue; couldn't find anything indicating a max sata drive size for this mobo.
Update3 - Win10 installed. I have finished initial setup and rebooted the system twice. 30 seconds from power on to desktop, not bad for a 10 year old mobo/cpu/ram.
Not sure what caused all...
Yep, that's exactly where I'm at right now. I've got just the mobo, connected to PSU, and hdmi out to monitor from mobo. Literally nothing else is connected to mobo, just cpu and RAM. PSU powers up,...
I'd have to have another desktop that I could power it up from, and boot into windows from, and currently this one seems to be dead. :(
Question: with a normal Award BIOS, shouldn't I be able...
I think I tried that, but will try again. Right now I can't seem to get the display to initiate at all in any config. Checked the monitor just to be sure, and it works on my laptop.
I don't know about that, but my mobo owners manual describes master/slave in the SATA setup section:
381674
I have a pretty old system that I have been doing a little upgrading on. Current specs are reflected in my profile. Plan was to replace the old 128gb ssd and spinner HDD with a 2TB ssd (Wester...
Thanks. Also, does this process embed the license/activation into the iso? Or do I need to find my activation code from years ago?
Thanks. Any idea what the rough size of the iso is for a usb stick? Just need to make sure I have one.
I'm interested in doing a full wipe/reset of my win10 desktop, following the tutorials here.
I also really want to replace/upgrade my main system disk, which is an old 120GB SSD, to a new 1 or...
I set up quick assist, and showed her how to do it. Hopefully we'll be able to make it work next time she needs help.
Thanks all!
Teamviewer is one of two third-party options I was looking at, that and chrome remote desktop.
Thanks for the tips!
I'd like to set up a way to remotely access my mom's laptop so I can help her with random minor issues using windows and the internet when I'm not at her house. I was looking into installing the RDP...
Hi there, I'm building a Win10 system on an Intel NUC6i3syk. I'm planning to follow Brink's tutorial to create a USB stick for installation of Win10 Home (I purchased an OEM DVD for the license.)

Yes, I've been shopping at B&H for years and am a big fan. They have done right several times for me when I had issues. I actually submitted a question about the product key before discovering it...
I recently purchased this item from this retailer:

The DVD arrived in a legitimate-looking envelope...
Wow! Thanks for the note, Kari, and here's to your full & quick recovery. Glad you're back and on the mend. :)
Hello again Kari,
I have used your relocation of user folders technique on both Win7 and Win10 with much success. Yesterday however, I ran into the first time that I think having my users folders...
OK, I'll chalk this up to a too-old adapter and driver. :(
I *just* downloaded the driver in order to try this out, so it is the latest. However it is also quite old - states Win8 as the newest supported OS. Maybe that's the problem?
Yes it does. :shock:
Hi Brink,
I was trying to set up the hotspot on my desktop win10 pc, and when I try to turn the option/feature on, I get "We can't set up mobile hotspot. Turn on Wi-Fi."
Well, Wi-Fi is on. I'm...
