    Need advice on file transfer & storage

    I just logged onto the PowerSpec computer (teen is out) and noticed that two of the three drives have been partitioned, which Micro Center Service may have done as I don’t think any drive was partitioned when the PC was new. Anyway, here’s what it looks like now. Apparently some data was...

    Need advice on file transfer & storage

    Awesome! Thank you very much. Will check with Micro Center Monday & see what they say, otherwise you've answered my questions & now just a matter of getting it done. Teen is an Apple head but gaming on a PC is and has been great fun for him plus it kept a lot of kids engaged esp. during Covid...

    Need advice on file transfer & storage

    Thanks Grebuloner, I've never heard of it but will check it out. I'm thinking that the WD easystore drive I have attached to this computer for backup might be the best solution. To be honest I never even thought of plugging it into a WIN11 computer, but once I sort out the drive utilization I'll...

    Need advice on file transfer & storage

    Hey Tsumi, thanks for the prompt reply and great advice. Yes, the games are available to redownload. In fact we recently had it back to Micro Center Service as the system locked up after we installed a program from an attached ODD which required a restart & it didn't. They said it had something...

    Need advice on file transfer & storage

    I’m an old not-so-tech-savvy guy who purchased a Micro Center PowerSpec G235 Gaming PC for a teen who enjoys it with the following specs: · Intel Core i5 12th Gen 12400F 2.5GHz Processor · ASUS PRIME B660M-A AC D4 with a total of two M.2 slots · NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060...

    Windows 10 Keeps Waking PC

    I had issues with Windows 7 Home Premium turning on every 15 minutes with my new build until someone helped me resolve the problem by advising me to turn off the Intel Smart Technology feature.

    Are Windows Phones all but dead?

    Sorry this is a hair off topic so think of it more as a public service announcement. As a long time T-Mobile customer I don't mean to turn this into a T-Mobile love fest, BUT, if you also happen to be a T-Mobile customer you should know that you can waltz into any T-Mobile store and ask them...

    SFF build advice needed

    Dropped $55 at a computer repair shop today because I couldn't figure out what was going on with my build. Here's what was corrected which has allowed the computer to run normally, at least since I brought it home today: 1. The metal tabs holding the CMOS battery were loose (they weren't...

    SFF build advice needed

    medeyer: Thanks for that. I may flip it once we get back from vac but I have another problem to lick first. My BSOD has returned. If I put the computer into the sleep mode, after about 15-20 minutes the blue light will glow steady for a few moments (instead of continuing to blink in the sleep...

    Are Windows Phones all but dead?

    Granted I'm rather a low tech person bordering on troglodyte but when I came from a bone phone to the 521 I really enjoyed the operating system. My wife is also a non-techie but catches onto things quickly. She purchased an early Samsung Galaxy and NEVER figured out how to use it and no, I...

    SFF build advice needed

    Chas: Aw, geeze! Honest, I considered a NUC some months ago and started a folder on a few of them because I just like smaller/compact stuff but when my old computer died I needed to replace it fast and since I had just been looking at the sg-05 and became infatuated with it that's what popped...
