Heaven Angel Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Get it from r/microsoftsoftwareswap I'm not 100% sure if Windows 8.1 to 10 free upgrade is still available. If it is, go for it. If not, then the Windows 10 PRO version will cost you $40-45. Everything is automated there. So you should receive your key within few minutes. I got mine during Windows 8 launch and upgraded all the way to Windows 10. Still working perfectly fine.

TheHitman Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Well, there are keys available on Ebay for less than $5. They say they've reclaimed those keys from old PCs etc and can only be tied to one system. Might be MSDN keys for all i know but gets activated and is working without a hitch for quite a few guys on TE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhow I guess my solution is not your solution. Hope you fix your problem and let us know what you did. Log in to your router and change the channel on which the Wifi is broadcasting. Older laptops can't detect above channel 10. If it is set to channel 13 or something change it to one of the lower channels. Also, check and see if it is set to broadcast in 20mhz or 40mhz or combo. If it is set to 40mhz mode, change it to 20mhz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is set to 40mhz mode, change it to 20mhz I'll check the channel. That may be the issue. Iirc I forgot I had changed channels on both routers a few weeks back to 11 and 13 respectively. Could be the issue. As far as broadcast both are auto. I'll change channels first when I get home this evening. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either don't active Windows or stack and buy a proper license. No point in building a $1000+ system and then buying some cheap one time license. Second, can vouch only what I've used. I purchased my license years ago for $20 and have upgraded, reinstalled and activated Windows so many times without any issue.

djanuj Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Guys can anyone help me. I have Logitech Z5500 in mint condition. Works really great. The only issue is that all my speakers surround foam has been torn. How can I fix this? I don't want to scrap this speakers. It works great! I am in Mumbai (Vile Parle) btw. I have zero experience so I think giving it to Experienced electrician or engineer might work. But need your inputs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I allocated the SSD as E, and under Disk management I see it there, but with 20MB free space, Even in BIOS, the SSD shows open space of 20MB. anyone @ALPHA17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven Angel Posted September 2, 2017 Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Post a screenshot of your disk management window. ~200 MB is probably stored as a healthy recovery partition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django_3101 Posted September 4, 2017 Report Share Posted September 4, 2017 Ok, I have been looking into overclocking videos and want to understand some things. To start with I want to incrementally OC my CPU. Can someone please tell me how much offset should I keep when increasing the voltage? e.g. if I want to increase ryzen 5 from base 3.2 to 3.3, how much voltage should I increase? The videos I have seen, people are directly raising the voltage to 1.4 from 1.35, so I am confused if I should also set it directly to 1.4 or not? Can I OC RAM without OC-ing CPU? I am using stock cooler that came with Ryzen 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can simply go into the UEFI and put the RAM on a preset high-speed profile instead of overclocking it. Do you have an A/C in your PC room?

ALPHA17 Posted September 5, 2017 Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 Okay overclock on the stock cooler for only the winters, do not keep it going once it starts heating up. I would recommend trying to raise frequency up by ~15MHz without fiddling with the voltage initially, go until the point you can push without altering the voltage, then follow up. Check for stability with applications like Super Pi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
