Appreciate all the advice. Saved me from wasting time on YouTube or wasting money on software that wasn't going to work.

I took a gamble and brought it to the guy. Nothing to loose. He didn't ask for down-payment. It seams to be working OK. Im posting from it now. I'm going to use it for a while and I'll probably have him unlock another one. He said he had someone do it over the phone. This one is actually a tab...

Thanks maybe I'll pay that shop the $60.

I followed the steps in link. After I did the factory reset on them it was still requesting password or the Google account it was setup on. I saw some software online like droidkit but I didn't want to buy it without asking advice on it first.

I was on a demo job in work and the company threw out a bunch of Samsung tablets that where mounted on the door of each room. I grabbed a couple of each. SM-T220N Tab 8 (2021), sm-t350 Galaxy Tab A 8.0 and sm-t290 Galaxy tab A 8.0 (2019). Is there any way I can wipe or reset them so I can put my...

Appreciate the honest advice. I scrapped almost everything but the case and started over. My third build with this case. This was the first build https://hardforum.com/threads/help-with-500-00-build-for-web-surfing.1589007/ This is what i ended up going with. MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi ProSeries...

I let this sit for a while and now it's having same problem. No video and this time it doesn't seam to power up mouse. Is this a good replacement motherboard? (GIGABYTE GA-Q87M-D2H Intel Q87 LGA1150 HDMI USB 3.0 mATX $45.00 used) Any other thoughts or advice...

Yes it's a 2 tb ssd and the storage drive is 3 tb

Installed the new hard drive. I did a new windows 11 install and got office reinstalled successfully. Games run fine on the new hard drive. The fresh install didn't solve the games crashing on storage drive issue but I don't' need it anymore.

That checked out ok. I think I can sign into my Microsoft account and reinstall office after installing windows 11 on new hard drive. I'll save the old hard drive just in case.

No overclock. I ran memcheck but just one pass. Just games. I'm not sure about the direct X question? I have Microsoft proplus 2021. If I do a fresh install of windows 11 on new hard drive am I going to loose office?

I tried a new storage drive and it still did it. Games all work ok on the os ssd drive.

New Newegg had the 2tb Elite version for $92. I ordered one. I'll see how that goes with fresh windows install. That should be plenty of space for games.

Appreciate all the replies. I feel like this happened a while back with a windows update but in not sure. I was working a lot at the time. I think i'm going to buy a 2tb ssd and do a fresh windows 11 install. Is this drive ok...
