OK, I understand my Skylake i3-6100 system with Windows 7 will only get updates until July 18, 2018. Fortunately for me, this is my backup system. lol

Really? This sounds unreal to me. With the BILLIONS of people using computers why doesn't Mircrosoft make Windows 10 in a way that allows people to get to a Windows 7 layout mode with a simple mouse click?

Did you click on the username to see if they're in the US? Because the ads I saw if I remember correctly were all about the same: same layout, same description, same price, same quantity, but different usernames in the US shipping from Hong Kong and very few feedback scores (like 1, 2 or 3)...

OK, thanks for the idea. I haven't checked it out yet but I want to say the Flurry I meant was this one.

Does anyone here know if Flurrylive is available on Bluestacks? It's similar to Younow and Live.me Anyway, I was able to install Instagram, Snapchat, Musical.ly, and Live.me on Bluestacks. But I could not find Flurry inside Bluestacks. By the way, for those who want to know, I find...

lol, so I finally took the time to click on the eBay money back guarantee banner on their web site (only way I could find the buttons to click to make a request) and made a request to be refunded. It says the seller is no longer a registered user. I was able to make a request to be refunded...

Maybe I wasn't always paying attention to prices when I went from AMD to Intel years ago. I can say however that if I would have gone Kaby Lake instead of Skylake, I would have paid maybe more than $60 (Canadian dollars) more. I don't know if I stated this already but the AMD CPU I compared to...

OK, thanks for the pic and reply. I always wondered why the industry seems to be trying "scare tactics" to get you to upgrade your OS. In any case, I know the quad-cores might be better in the long term but I chose an i3-6100 partly because its base speed is 3.7GHz and Bluestacks I read is...

Can you say how that build is working out? Is there anything you like about MSI?

Can anyone expand on why Win7 is a lost cause?

I received the Intel i3-6100 from NCIX and here's what I think if you want to know... https://hardforum.com/threads/are-kaby-lake-cpus-compatible-with-windows-7.1922380/

Since I installed Windows 7 (Pro 64-bit) on a Skylake build, I wanted to know out of curiosity if some people have tried Windows 7 on a Kaby Lake build to see if those CPUs really won't run on Win7. If want to know what I think of the Intel i3-6100, after receiving it I can say I'm surprised up...

I switched the display and computer to never in power options but it keeps getting into sleep mode when I don't touch it. EDIT: I may or may not have solved the situation by clicking on Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Change plan settings (next to balanced which is...

I just did and double-checked the number. My notes indicate I ordered the CPU on eBay on November 23, 2016 for $63.69 Canadian dollars (for brand new Intel i3-6100). Today, I ordered the Intel i3-6100 for $147 CAD with shipping and tax from NCIX. After buying the Gigabyte GA-H170M-D3H from...

I just clicked on 3 links after searching for "Hong Kong Post" in google and all web sites had no info for my tracking number. At least I changed my Paypal password. Don't know what else I can do but wait until I get a message I was refunded...

Oh, OK. Now I see the value of that strategy.

That's a good one because I saw some Yamaha NX-50 speakers for 99,999.99 British pounds on amazon.uk.

OMG, thanks for the reply. I was thinking eventually someone would see this and possibly recognize what it is. I usually prefer to stay objective but if this is what it is, I wonder what I have to do to protect myself. Actually, my Paypal is tied to a secondary (non-essential) bank account.

See, once again today I saw someone with 0 feedback selling the same CPU, same quantity at the same price and shipping from Hong Kong. I forgot to mention I did buy one. And I understand it's always possible that tracking numbers from Hong Kong won't work. But I did get a tracking # from Hong...

The reason I got suspicious is these auctions are from people who have only a few feedbacks. And they're still appearing. I saved some links but noticed now some only go to a search page for the same CPU instead of the original auction. Why does this happen to some links? Is it because eBay...

Seems to me there ought to be an i3-7100 for the same price as the i3-6100. But in case they were selling engineering samples, how could you tell on the CPU?

I've noticed over the last several days that some i3-6100 have been going on sale for very low prices. Often, it's someone in the USA with 0, 1 or 2 feedback and they're shipping from Hong Kong. And it's also often the same page layout with the same quantity of CPUs. They sell out fast then...
