Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I replaced the traditional harddrive with Samsung's 850 EVO (like some members mentioned here), because it had lots of good reviews on Amazon. I ended up buying one from eBay, and installed it with the help of a YouTube video. I couldn't be happier. Average boot time is 17 seconds. Photoshop...
Why not clean install? You can transfer your files later on using an ethernet cable for faster transfer. Get a new copy and avoid the copy of unnecessary files.
