    Windows 7/8 Product Key to install Windows 10 workaround - possibly no longer

    Just wanted to say thanks for the info on mass grave. I've got 6 win7 keys that I didn't know could not be used for upgrade anymore. And I just spent all day cloning a win7 install, getting a win10 iso to work for the update (couldn't loss my kids data) and debloating windows 10 before I let it...

    Looking for Thermal pads for my GPU, GTX980.

    Thanks for the great replies, guys. I'll check the EK site. I've just been a little concerned. It started happening after my old MB died and I got a replacement. I don't know if it's related or not but my CPU can't OC in this new board. Used to have a sabertooth but the ram channels went bad...

    Looking for Thermal pads for my GPU, GTX980.

    Anybody know what thermal pads should be used for a GTX 980, water cooled? My GPU in water cooled with an EK block. I'm not sure which block, As I bought it used with the block. I was going to tear down my loop and replace some old tubes, re-apply TIM, etc. The thermal pads are what came with...

    The 970 is still a capable card? Heresy

    I still have 2 GTX970s, though I don't use them. My brother was until last year, @ 1080p, and he was doing fine. I got him a GTX1080 and took the 970s. Over all they are still good cards. the 3.5GB of usable VRAM is their main issue. But for the average gamer, they work well.

    Is building a 2500k machine today worth it?

    It depends on what you can get for the price. I built a system for my stepson with a 2500, that I just swapped for a 2600, a few years ago. Both CPUs are non K, as I didn't bother OCing his PC. It was running games just fine: Gmod, Wolfenstien the new order, TF2, fallout 3, New vegas, and some...

    Mini-ITX on the desk or ATX on the floor?

    Looking for new phone for the wife. (and me, later)

    A friend of mine (last year) unlocked my wife's s7, had a finger print sensor and she had enabled it before we were together, via a laptop remotely. (He is much much higher up than I am. And I don't want to work at that level.) As far as data and how it's done, I don't know, I don't want to...

    Looking for new phone for the wife. (and me, later)

    Hmmm. You know I've had a thought. With those phones that have no stand-alone selfie cam, and rely on a mechanism; (Like the zenfone 6, The new one not the 2014 zeonfone 6.) I can lock that to never go to selfie or physically hinder the mechanism and won't have a camera facing me the whole...

    Looking for new phone for the wife. (and me, later)

    Thank you for your time and effort. No bio-metrics are due to Privacy concerns, I don't trust the tech giants, though I'm not in full "live off the grid mode" yet. (When I retire) But I understand that most mid range phones are going that route. Even my cheap burner has a fingerprint reader on...

    Looking for new phone for the wife. (and me, later)

    I'm looking to a replacement phone for my wife's s7. I'm wanting something that is as good or better, performance wise, but I have a few caveats. I don't want bio-metrics at all. No finger print sensor, face recognition, etc. And something I can control. Must have a headphone jack. Her s7 was...

    Rooting a cheap android? (Confused on how rooting works and where to start)

    So I want to root my phone. It's an Alcatel Onyx (50008R). I got it as a cheap phone, since my old zenfone 2 died, long story the main board stopped sending video siganl. Had the Onyx for a bit and it's okay for a cheap phone. Today it just crashed and corrupted the OS, somehow. I couldn't...

    Keyboard alternative for gaming?

    I used to have a lot of wrist pain from heavy gaming as well. Before buying a new device do what some others have said regarding your posture and move the keyboard. I can tell you that, for me, having my chair just about desk level and rotating my keyboard to suit my arm's natural resting angle...

    Windows 8.1 password recovery help.

    So, I'm having a few speed bumps. I changed the password for my mom's account (to a blank) and unlocked the admin account, Just in-case the PW change didn't work. Well I still can't sign on to the laptop with her account. It would seem that she probably just followed on screen directions and...
