My God windows 11 is shite.

That was a problem yesterday as well. Downloaded all the drivers the day before and got distracted on how shitty it was.

WTF Microsoft?


What issues are you running into? I've been running 11 since it was released, and I haven't had any problems.

I'd say the UI is the biggest thing. There is supposedly a w10 mod, IDK.

Which aspects? Some, like the start bar being centered instead of to the left is a simple setting switch. Some require a little more effort.

It's pretty much the same underneath the hood.

It's just the hood is painted a different color and the latch is in a different place.

All in all, not too bad now.

Some minor things like my VPN not showing up in the arrow programs. The others are now.

Yeah, it took me a few days to get everything sorted, but after that, I pretty much forget that I'm on 11 and not 10.

Except for having an extra click to get to Nvidia's control panel from the desktop

I'll be giving 11 a go here shortly. Hoping to do my yearly clean Windows reinstall on Saturday and jumping to 11

So what's a legit windows key again?

I got burned(temp) by Kinguin.

I got a refund, but I need a no-frills key.

You can buy a legit key from a whole host of places, but Kinguin is still your one stop shop for reasonably priced keys. You got a refund; what are you whining about? Get back in the saddle

Looks like the launch date for the RTX 4070 is rumored to be April 13. Expectations are that it will perform roughly like a 3080. If that's the case, it needs to list at $599 or better for anyone to give a shite. Any higher than that and it's DOA just like the rest of the 40 series outside of the 4090. Rumors expect $699, which would be laughable.

Went to happy hour on Tuesday and drunkenly ordered another 16gb ram kit for my PC, and after a few drinks last night, somehow managed to install it

But when trying to install W11, I get a to the part right before partitioning the drives and it tells me my PC isn't to spec for W11

Probably a TPM issue, which you can fix on most modern motherboards from the BIOS/UEFI. Just look it up for your particular model, unless it's giving you a different reason for failure.

Not a bad score.

5648 mhz max frequency. This mobo gets funny about overclocking tho. No splash screen with these settings.

If anyone is looking to make the AM5 plunge, this is a solid deal:

$499.99
AMD Ryzen 7 7700X
ASRock X670E
G.SKILL Flare X5 Series AMD EXPO 32GB (2 x 16GB) DDR5 6000

7900XT price drop appears to be working, top selling card at mindfactory.

799 should've been the original price. Although, I can see why they didn't, they didn't want to get in a pricing war.

And they still don't.

Yep $799 is a good price point for it.

You can find 7900XTX AIB models for msrp $999 now too.

I would like to get some insight from you guys on a second NVME drive that I installed on a Asus G15 laptop. I can see said drive listed in asus Bios and see it is listed in device manager in the disk drives subsection but I can't find the drive in disk Management service. (I see the 1TB OS/primary drive listed but not the 2TB new install drive).

Is there something that I am missing?
