I (too?) found you could not "upgrade" to Win 10/64 bit if you were running a computer with Win7 or 8.1 in 32 bit. I HAD to do CLEAN INSTALLS (on 2 computers) that were running Win 8.1/32 bit: if I...
Trying to go from 32 Bit Win 7 or Win 8.1 usually does NOT work if you are trying to use the "UPGRADE" route for Win 10 64 bit. (Done that, been there.) You will have to back up what you have at...
If you truly have DDR3 memory, upgrading to 8 GB on a Win 10/64 bit computer is a good decision; 4 GB for Win 10 is (by now) a BARE minimum. But check with your computer's manual (or manufacturer) to...
The "2,5inch" drives are common in laptops; but usually slower (but more expensive) that their 3.5 equivalent. You CAN buy adapters to allow a 2.5" drive be mounted in a 3.5" location(usually an...
32 bit systems will typically ONLY recognize 3.5 (or 3.0 ) GB, depending upon the actual processor/MoBo in use. The LAST 0.5 to 1 GB of a 4 GB system is used for "other things," and unavailable to...
Mostly true; the "change"was pretty much between VISTA and Win 7. I bought a "NEW" laser (monochrome) printer about a year ago (after a 30 y/o H-P LaserJet 4P finally died) and it still "shipped"...
I suspect you ARE correct in a way; Windows up to VISTA was originally deisgned for "x86" processors, and had old DOS underpinnings; Win 7 and later were for the newer 32/64 bit processors like the i...
Sorry to say, but an Athlon (even Athlon 64) with only 2 GB of RAM was a bare minimum for Windows 10. But it should have been more than adequate "at the time." Did you try using it with Windows...
I didn't deny DDR3 is "faster' or somehow "better' than DDR2, but I take great umbrage at the statement "DDR2 is not usable in Win 10."
Case in point; I had a Phenom (Quad Core, Model 9550,...
Oh my goodness, and that article above is labeled "here's the truth"??"
It is certainly possible, but if a MoBo supports DDR2 (and few if any MoBo's support ANY but a single generation of DDR,...
I don't know if that is true or not. I'm currently running (as a back up) an AMD Phenom 9550, on an ECS MoBo, and only 4 GB memory is the max I can use; (I've tried at least two different memory...
If you were running Win 7 or Won 8.x, (32 bit,) you WOULD typically get the "Windows 10 can not run on this (I had the same problem with an AMD Phenom "quad core" machine.) Going to a CLEAN...
