170w at 12v...about 14 amps or so. Should be well within the capability of a 500w PSU, even a cheap, highly cost-engineered, price-leader unit procured from uncertain origins.
I wasn't kidding...
Is there a compatibility wizard (right click on the setup.exe file on the distribution DVD and select whatever it says about compatibility)?
Concur with Blackrose that you are probably experiencing a power-related issue.
You might also make sure the case vents are clean and not clogged with dust and debris, and that all the cooling...
I bought Windows 10 Pro through the store. I got an activation key in the receipt. Installed to a new self-built computer (i.e., no prior O/S installed). Entered the activation key code when...
If it's a subscription you can log onto your Office 365 subscription page on the Office 365 support site and check your status there. You may have to unsubscribe your old installation and reinstitute...
You most certainly can create new VMs with VMWare Player. You'd do well to heed your own advice.
VMWare Player may not be "exactly the same thing" as Hyper-V or VirtualBox (except it's easier to create a VM in Player than with Hyper-V and works more reliably than VirtualBox), but functionally...
Having the same issue. When I click "select which icons show on the taskbar" the settings window crashes to the desktop without presenting any options for making changes.
Current Office 365 subscription users can install the Office 2016 for Windows Preview (beta) by setting the option under the "Install" settings in their account profile.
If you don't want the...
Thanks both.
Cliff, I don't use One Drive, but I do use Macrium Reflect Standard edition and had, in fact, made an insurance image before executing the upgrade as JDS mentioned (this isn't my...
I was hoping to find a copy of a document I had intentionally deleted from my Windows 10 installation and then decided I wanted back. I knew it had been on the machine at the time the upgrade was...
I found an obscure Technet item that indicated this could happen if the upgrade process runs twice in succession...the first upgrade creates the normal windows.old folder, the second creates a new...
Thank you for that. Works here, too.
Not that I know of, but I'm not the only one with access to the machine.
However, as I understand it, using disk cleanup (clean system files) would remove the entire windows.old folder. In this...
After an upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10, there is a windows.old folder in the root directory of c:. Within windows.old, there is a \Users folder, and within the \Users folder there are child...
Check your BIOS/UEFI settings associated with the e-SATA controller/ports and see if there is a setting for "enable hotplug notification" or something like that. If present, it will have to be set...
Hi Kari, nice job on this. Very useful. I know what a pain it is to put together a useful tutorial, and I commend your efforts.
It would have been even more useful had I seen it before I...
One of my machines was doing that after a recent update, but after I forced a full power-off shutdown and then a normal restart it has settled down and behaves normally, again.
If you have "fast...
Your motherboard's owner's manual will tell you which SATA ports are governed by which controller. You can download the manual from ASUS' web site if don't have a copy with you.
There's not much...
The controller is built into the hard drive, so there's not much you can do except perhaps replace the HD with an SSD.
I did just that and I'm not going back.
But it occurs to me there could...
I guess the first question I would ask is whether the edition (home or pro) you installed from the .iso was the same edition you activated after the upgrade from Windows 7?
The SATA 3 interface may be capable of 6 GB/sec., but that includes a lot of error correction and parity bits. The data transfer speed to/from a hard drive will be limited by the rate the controller...
The world would be a much safer place if everybody used Windows from a user account, and switched to an administrator level account only for a specific purpose or action.
The small system reserved partition does not show in file exploder or diskmgmt.msc. You can see it using a third party disk utility like gparted from a linux session, or in Windows by using...
