I need at least a 4TB drive to consolidate my data, so I'm not going to be buying anything any time soon (I have no income)

solid state, spinning rust, doesn't matter, just don't need all this stuff spread out across 8 drives

But I use my phone as a PC so

[nova steppe]

well there you go

[exotic patrol]

Imagine a PC with only 64gb

[nova steppe]

I'd rather not

[charred otter]

i use my phone as a calling device for work and family, and occasionally apps when im not home

[exotic patrol]

That's why 64 is perfect for you

How much internet do you use per month on that phone

Should i really need a 1000W PSU or 850W?

[lost fossil]

850 will do

[cold elbow]

u already sepending a lot on that build so 1000 its

[civic cloud]

^

[lost fossil]

also valid point but strictly speaking 850 is more than enough

[brave field]

ooh, new lock icons on emotes from other servers, I guess desaturating them wasn't enough

[sacred loom]

That card goes upto 470W but incase in transient spikes

[lost fossil]

thats still 380w left for the rest of the system which is more than enough

[lost fossil]

that is less than 850

[sacred loom]

The tdp in this is 420W but the card has can reach 500W if i ever wanted to OC

[wispy mesa]

850W is ok if you dont plan on being crazy, but 850W may not be enough if you plan on stacking fans and doing some overclocking without down volting. A few fans i use are 12V 0.5A each, which adds up. Along with storage you may use plus CPU and maybe rgb if you go along that path

[sacred loom]

Im using 10x Lian Li uni SL120 v2 fans

[sharp coyote]

7800x3d uses 100w max. 80w normally.
7900xtx power spikes are lower than 6900xt-6950xt ones

And any good 850w can handle it.

Psu cult list is place to look

If any 1000w are on sale sure

Like px-g

[lost fossil]

but it wasn't a question of whether it's good too, it was more of an alternative option if the stupid gpu connector is not required, because pq-m is noticeably cheaper, at least in my region

Anybody know why my ps5 controller will charge but won’t show the blue lights to connect?

[quartz kayak]

Isnt the charging light orange

My ds4s is

[charred otter]

I think they mean it doesn't light up to connect to the ps5

@wet nest have you tried connecting the controller via cord?

[quartz kayak]

just explain what the problem is better

[wet nest]

Yes I tried that and I tried removing it from blue tooth feature and re connecting but nothing

[charred otter]

So far the issue is:
Wont connect to ps5
Will charge
What are you using to charge it and where?

I think there's some more details you could supply, like when did this issue occur? Was there a cause or was it out of the blue

[wet nest]

The best way to save costs is to make it yourself

And make sure there's nothing funny or where pre-builts cut costs

[stuck lichen]

is there a system to it?

i dont know how people look at a part number and immediately go “yeah not that one”

like BMW. 1 series, your driving a rollerskate; 7 series, your driving a schoolbus

1080, you arent playing minesweeper above 10 FPS; 4090, you can host the internet

[brave field]

Tests from people like this give a general sense of where common components perform relative to each other: https://www.youtube.com/@GamersNexus https://www.youtube.com/@Hardwareunboxed
When looking at pricing, you can build a system with the same or equivalent parts to get an idea of what it might cost when brand new: https://pcpartpicker.com/
When using ebay, append &rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1 to search results for an idea of how much a part costs on the used market

Note down what you want somewhere. what software you want to run, what displays you'll be using, what your non-negotiable price ceiling is, etc @stuck lichen

[exotic patrol]

@brave field any news on FE

[stuck lichen]

is there a way i can just tell someone allat and they do all that for me. like an accountant

or is webuild better

webuild sites seem sketch

[brave field]

@exotic patrol I have a family member out of the country claiming they can get an S23 Ultra on discount. If they fail, I'll hop back to it. It still has shown out of stock online and I've given up trying to call the physical locations

That's what companies like Dell are for. Same with services like NZXT BLD. Go with whatever is in your budget and then return it if its bad. @stuck lichen

Unlike with marketplace, a company will be willing to take a small loss in order to keep you happy

[stuck lichen]

i thought people didnt like Dell because it was proprietary

[brave field]

Many of their systems are, yeah

but that's something you can't always reliably escape, without other drawbacks (higher prices, worse customer support, Walmart using hotglue on theirs)

That dislike often comes from people troubleshooting for friends/family and then complaining in their stead. If you're not going to spend a lot of time inside your PC, you won't run into issues surrounding that.

[stuck lichen]

is this just key features or is alienware just not running AE, Pr, Ps?

[wispy mesa]

[stuck lichen]

[stuck lichen]

i would not get an alienware

[stuck lichen]

no rendering just video and photo editing

[wispy mesa]

its like buying a block of fools gold

[brave field]

alienware is dell, but with even more proprietary stuff. Their PCs are general-purpose. If it runs games well, it'll run the Adobe suite just fine below a professional level

[stuck lichen]

if i buy a build on pcpart does it come built or just parts

[brave field]

It's not a store, just a tool for organizing and price/compatibility checking. You'd have to order each part individually

(also their premade build guides on there are kind wack)

[stuck lichen]

oh

I think the reason I’m so scared of building a PC is I don’t know how to build it. You can build an $80000 PC, or a $600. I don’t know why I should pick or not pick a $600 CPU over a $100 one. I’m not sure what will control what or what it affects

Why is it when you use the desktop site option on Android that you're identified as a Linux user when a website grabs your client data

Is it because android is based on a Linux kernel or it just the way that Chrome or other browsers do it on Android

[quartz kayak]

its bcs its built on a linux kernel mostly

think about it, wouldnt make much sense if it showed as actual user windows coming from an android does it

if you also try it on your tv the same will happen

[lost fossil]

reminds me about the time when i was guiding a fren through pc assembly via a periscope stream

[rapid lake]

Turning on the PSU and pressing the button, the RGB fan on the side turns on, and either the CPU fan also goes on, or it’s the RGB fan spinning it

[quartz kayak]

Does it beep?

[rapid lake]

No beep

rem-rem is typing

[quartz kayak]

Have you connected everything? Essentially its just mobo power(24p), gpu power (if you have one that needs it or a gpu at all) atleast one stick of memory and pls check that if you have an hdd or an ssd if they are also conected to the power

Thats essentially all you need for it to atleast beep if theres a problem

[rapid lake]

Well

I didn’t see an HDD there’s no way I’d miss that

But I’m not sure there is an SSD

Could be hidden somewhere

[quartz kayak]

Well if you have no hdd or ssd thats fine

If you have any plugged it needs to be powered tho bcs it can cause errors

[rapid lake]

There’s two ends of cables that don’t seem to connect to anything

One sec I’ll track where they go to

[quartz kayak]

Most of the cables tell you where they go on the motherboard if it helps

[rapid lake]

Oh wait

I think I see an SSD

But it looks kinda big, not sure what kind

So one of the cables connects to a disc player

[quartz kayak]

Isnt it just a small hdd

Thats a sata cable im pretty sure

And it should also have a longer one thats power

Be sure the "ssd" also has those two, vonected to the psu

And the mobo

[rapid lake]

Whatever this is

[quartz kayak]

Thats an ssd

[rapid lake]

Yeah

Yep

One connects to the mobo

The other goes to the PSU

[quartz kayak]

Ok then thats good

The disc drive should be the exact same

[rapid lake]

This is what I’m working with for some perspective

I’m assuming that on the bottom is some kind of GPU

[quartz kayak]

Yesshh

Ok it all seems to be connected correctly from what i can see

[rapid lake]

Could it be the RAM?

I tried switching places for it

Maybe it’s just broken

[quartz kayak]

At this point it could be anything tbh

[rapid lake]

[quartz kayak]

Could be the mobo, could be ram, could be psu

[rapid lake]

Doubt it’s the PSU because as I said earlier the RGN fan turns on

[quartz kayak]

Yeah but it could still be the psu

Trust me

[rapid lake]

Interesting

[quartz kayak]

Ok for now try changing the ram slot @rapid lake

And try turning it on

If it doesnt work, disconect it from power and press on the power button for ~10s so it powercycles

[rapid lake]

Does it matter which way it points or just that the pins are in place

[quartz kayak]

It does matter

It only goes one way

[quartz kayak]

Looks fine, try not to touch the contacts too much

[quartz kayak]

You should begin by learning c# then moving out as your interest expands

Its pretty easy

Also probably the most usefull on a beginner level

[rapid lake]

Ok

[quartz kayak]

What happened

[rapid lake]

So the fan is on now, I’m gonna plug the HDMI into the GPU port and see if it displays anything

[quartz kayak]

Okay

[rapid lake]

I was plugging it into the mobo ealrier

Not sure if that’s bad

[quartz kayak]

Oh yeah dont do that

The cpu might not have on board graphics

Anyways if the cpu fan wasnt moving earlier thats also not normal

[rapid lake]

Can I check which CPU that is from those numbers on the fan?

[quartz kayak]

No you d have to take it off

Or turn it on and see on the bios or windows

[rapid lake]

Aight we’ll get to that in a bit

Let’s see if it works first

[quartz kayak]

Im sure that if it has the basics plugged u ll be able to atleast get in the bios. We ll see

Praying

[rapid lake]

Nope, nothing

Just in case

I’m gonna try a VGA cord

If the HDMI cable doesn’t work for some reason

[quartz kayak]

I d just try the hdmi then the vga if it doesnt work

[rapid lake]

I did

[rapid lake]

.

[quartz kayak]

Hmmm

Does it turn everything now?

Fans etc

[rapid lake]

Well yeah it already did before

But as you can see from how the fans are positioned

The RGB could be spinning the CPU one

So I have no way of knowing if it has power

[quartz kayak]

Fans arent that strong

[rapid lake]

Then I guess both are on

VGA cable failed

[quartz kayak]

Ok lets try something different

Do you know how to remove a gpu?

Also do you have any way to test the cables ur using? Hdmi mainly

Lets take that out of the way

(Test the cable first)

(If it works we move on to the gpu) @rapid lake

[rapid lake]

The cables are fine

Work on my console

Unless they just decided to break lol

[rapid lake]

I haven’t done that before but doesn’t look too hard

Looks kinda like the RAM

[quartz kayak]

Then they are def fine. I was just making sure since if everythings working it most likely has to do with video output

[quartz kayak]

You press the little tab in and pull the gpu GENTLY

GENTLY

Its gonna be hard but try to be as gentle as u can

Bcs you could break the little ear thingy and thats not fun

[rapid lake]

Any cables I need to disconnect first

After turning the psu off

[quartz kayak]

You need to power cycle it

[rapid lake]

Elaborate

[quartz kayak]

Dont forget to do that

The 10s power button thingy

After u plug it off

[rapid lake]

Hold on

Lemme scroll back

[quartz kayak]

Holding

[rapid lake]

Powercycling just empties the capacitors or what does it do exactly?

[quartz kayak]

It prevents my ptsd

Makes it so its not as dangerous to handle stuff, for both u and the computer

Gets rid of everything in the psu's capacitors and on the mobo aswell

[rapid lake]

Wtf

[civic cloud]

Wtf

[quartz kayak]

Wtf

[rapid lake]

Dude

I was trying to turn it off, but I long pressed

The other power button

[quartz kayak]

Did it turn on

[rapid lake]

And now

I got something

[civic cloud]

a pc?

[quartz kayak]

Did it bleep?

[rapid lake]

Yeah

And then on display

[quartz kayak]

Ok thats nice

[civic cloud]

Hell yeah

[quartz kayak]

What do you see

[rapid lake]

It’s telling me to boot it

Or reboot

Rather

[quartz kayak]

Can u send a ft plis

[rapid lake]

Yes I’m using a TV

Don’t judge

[quartz kayak]

Is that a cat

Cute

[rapid lake]

Yes

She’s helping

[quartz kayak]

Ok turn it off, power cycle it and put the ram back in the same slot it was before

Since we changed it to the right one its not as efficient

[rapid lake]

Alright

Oh btw

[quartz kayak]

Its kinda annoying but yeah sori

[civic cloud]

Omg show cT

[rapid lake]

The bigger button only turns it on

The left one restarts

[quartz kayak]

Thats normal, mine is also like that

[rapid lake]

Maybe a long press will turn it off?

I don’t want to turn off the psu

Straight up

[quartz kayak]

Yeah long press

[rose yacht]

usually long presses work

[quartz kayak]

If it doesnt work you probably have the front io wrongly connected

So you better pray it works

[rapid lake]

Hold on

When I long press it shows something like a menu

On the screen

[quartz kayak]

[rapid lake]

And then goes back to the reboot thing

[quartz kayak]

Is it blue

[rapid lake]

Nope

I’ll try to take a pic

Looks very pixelated

[quartz kayak]

Hmm

Thats confusing it should just turn off

[rapid lake]

One second

[quartz kayak]

[rapid lake]

Whatever the hell this is

[quartz kayak]

Oh thats the restart button

Lmfaoooo

You have the front io wrongly connected

[rapid lake]

I don’t think so

I was pressing the small button

[quartz kayak]

Jesus christ had

[rapid lake]

Long pressing the big one turned it off

Bear with me alright

I’m new to this shit

[quartz kayak]

Ok power cycle and change mem

I hold

[rapid lake]

Power cable is out and psu is off

[quartz kayak]

10 secs on the big button

[rapid lake]

For your PTSD

[quartz kayak]

Trust me its worth it

[rapid lake]

I’m gonna change the RAM slot now

[quartz kayak]

[rapid lake]

All done

[quartz kayak]

Ok before you turn it back on

Do you have a keyboard somewhere

[rapid lake]

Yeah

Do I gotta spam that button

[quartz kayak]

It needs a f9 key

Yeah spam the f9

While it turns on

[rapid lake]

Alright

Nice

I’m in BIOS I think

Now what

[quartz kayak]

If you pressed f9 ur on the boot setup

Can you send a ft

[rapid lake]

Oh yeah true

I need to select a boot device

There’s 4

[quartz kayak]

Yeah

4??

[rapid lake]

3

Do I go with Windows

[quartz kayak]

It should be the ssd and the disc drive

[rapid lake]

Yes

Well

[quartz kayak]

Does it tell you where windows is

[rapid lake]

There’s two things on the SSD

One says Windows Boot Manager

[quartz kayak]

No dont go in there

[rapid lake]

The other just says the name of the SSD

[quartz kayak]

Go in the ssd

[rapid lake]

ok

Now it gives me thay black screen I showed earlier

[quartz kayak]

Ok theres something wrong with ur ssd or the os in it

Do everything again but go to windows boot manager

[rapid lake]

Just turn it off and back on?

[quartz kayak]

Yeah

[rapid lake]

It’s in windows now

So I guess we’re done?

[quartz kayak]

[rapid lake]

Is something gonna explode

[quartz kayak]

No im just confused why did boot manager brought you to windows but the windows partition didnt

[rapid lake]

Yeah totally man

That’s very confusing

[quartz kayak]

Ok ur in windows right

[rapid lake]

Yeah

[quartz kayak]

Go in disk management and let me see that

Press the windows key and type disk management

[rapid lake]

Well the thing is

My sister’s friend didn’t give me the password for it

[quartz kayak]

Hmm

[rapid lake]

I’m gonna ask her

[quartz kayak]

Oki

[rapid lake]

I’m in @quartz kayak

[quartz kayak]

Im guessing you d want to reset it aswell, i can help you with that

Henlo

[rapid lake]

Yeah

What did you want me to check?

[quartz kayak]

Go on disk management

If you have any problems reaching it pls tell me

[rapid lake]

There’s no such thing

Unless you mean

[quartz kayak]

Hmm

[rapid lake]

Ok nvm

Yeah now what

[quartz kayak]

It should tell you how many disks the pc has

Also where the windows itself is

[rapid lake]

There’s the SSD and the disc reader

[quartz kayak]

Okay, is the ssd divided at all

[rapid lake]

No

Just a C drive

[quartz kayak]

Okay thats normal

Do you want to format it now?

[rapid lake]

Does the "Health recovery partition" count as a separate thing

[quartz kayak]

No its normal

[rapid lake]

Wait

Yeah alright

I do want to format

[quartz kayak]

I was wondering if it was separated because the ssd itself didnt work

It was just beeing silly i guess?

[rapid lake]

Btw thanks for this

[quartz kayak]

Its nothing

To reset go on search and type reset or format

One of those, in my native language its reset, idk what it is in english

It should be pretty straightforward from there

Im sure u can do it by urself, so just hmu if you need help again

[rapid lake]

Before I do where do I check my GPU

I mean wtf kinda GPU is that anyway

Nvm

It’s a GT640

[quartz kayak]

Go to display and it should appear there, you can also right click the taskbar and select task manager and then on the performance tab it should appear

[rapid lake]

It’s in task manager

Yeah

It’s also got

An i7 7700

What do you figure would pair well with that?

[quartz kayak]

640 is pretty old, but it should work fine on big old games

[rapid lake]

If I were to upgrade a little

[quartz kayak]

No idea

I d have to search

[rapid lake]

Something that would work with this mobo

Idk if I want to go through the trouble of changing mobo

And I’m not paying someone to do it

[quartz kayak]

Depends on ur budget

I ll help you when the time comes if you want

[rapid lake]

It’s about $150

[quartz kayak]

That cpu isnt so bad tho

Its from 2017

It can be paired with a 4060 fine

But thats way over budget

[rapid lake]

How much is that

[quartz kayak]

I think you could get something like a 2060 for 2nd hand

[rapid lake]

I can wait

Would it fit though?

[quartz kayak]

Like 400 if im not mistaken

New atleast

[rapid lake]

That’s not so bad

[quartz kayak]

Good question

Also with a 2060 it would perform close to my pc

Thats pretty good

Im getting shit on by a school pc

[rapid lake]

lmfao

[quartz kayak]

If ur interested this is my cpu against the on u have
https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel-Core-i7-7700-vs-AMD-Ryzen-7-2700X/3887vs3958

My pc has a 2060 oc

2060s go for around 150-200$ used there

So i d say thats ur next upgrade for now. We just gotta see what ur psu is

Since im not recomending you a better gpu while you have a grey psu

[rapid lake]

400 watts

I don’t know what it’s rated though

Probably bronze

[quartz kayak]

Probably plastic bag

🤺

I d ask someone like oleh to help you with specifications tho, and to confirm mine aswell, since im not as knowladgeable on parts as he is

@lost fossil help pls ty ly

[rapid lake]

Can’t tell

[quartz kayak]

His pc has got a i7 7700 with a stock cooler, a grey 400w psu, a gt650 and wants an upgrade i d guess a gpu upgrade would be the best bet

[quartz kayak]

Unrated

Bro that psu is ancient

[brave field]

RX 6600 XT

[rapid lake]

Do I choose to "clean data"

[quartz kayak]

What are the other options

Theres like 2 or 3

[quartz kayak]

Wouldnt a nvidea card be a better choice for him, beeing new and all that

[brave field]

There are no new Nvidia cards in that budget

[rapid lake]

I think he meant me being new

[quartz kayak]

Do the fastest route

[rapid lake]

[quartz kayak]

If you say so.

[brave field]

The closest Nvidia GPU to the 6600XT in performance is the 3060 and nobody sells those under $250

[quartz kayak]

Yeah thats why i was saying the 2060 😢

The 6600 performs way better tho

I didnt even know radions were that cheap now

[brave field]

you can get decent value from a used 2060 if you snipe an auction or get it local though

The 6600 is still the same price as the 6600 XT 😭

[quartz kayak]

All depends on the had budget

[rapid lake]

I can go up to $200

Not really lookint to spend more rn

Saving up for a scooter

Which is more of a priority

[quartz kayak]

Also what about psu and possibly a cpu cooler

[lost fossil]

that aint no 400w

12v 15a is 180w

[quartz kayak]

Sob

[lost fossil]

get rid of that shit immediately

[rapid lake]

I mean

How much is a 7700 and a 640 using

And a fan

[quartz kayak]

Like

Atleast 3

[brave field]

180W is fine for the intended usecase. The 640 is probably worse than the integrated graphics and the 7700k is probably doing nothing at all for office/school systems

[rapid lake]

That makes sense

Should I futureproof and get a 2000w psu

[quartz kayak]

Futureproofing the nasa pc

[rapid lake]

It doesn’t say K in task manager but I won’t overclock it anyways

Also

Resetting puts me back into the reboot screen

[quartz kayak]

Yeah its just a boot partition i figured

You have to put it on the ssd

[rapid lake]

I’m back here

[quartz kayak]

Or just change the boot on the bios to the partition you got on before

[quartz kayak]

Restart and spam del

Go to boot

Change default boot partition to the one that has windows

And it ll work as it should

Im still so confused as to where windows is

[rapid lake]

Why is it set to the disc reader

Do I change boot option #1?

[quartz kayak]

Exchange them, put the #1 to the kingston and the #2 to the disc reader

[clear falcon]

Anyone Indian?

[rapid lake]

Then just save and exit?

[quartz kayak]

Yas

[rapid lake]

"Save and reset"

[quartz kayak]

Mhm

It should work normally now

[rapid lake]

Back to that black screen

Do I restart?

[quartz kayak]

Go back to the bios and to boot

Press the dropdown and show me all the options

[rapid lake]

Will do in a bit

Gotta go somewhere

[quartz kayak]

Okayy @ me then

[exotic patrol]

Does anyone know how to get rid of these SIM card ad pop up alerts that want you to press send to receive even more sms ads

[quartz kayak]

Can you show me an example

[exotic patrol]

I will next time I get one

[quartz kayak]

Is it like from a sim alert app

[exotic patrol]

It's from the sim toolkit app

[quartz kayak]

Are you on samsung?

[exotic patrol]

Ye but it also happens on iOS

[quartz kayak]

Im guessing you are

Go on apps

Sim toolkit app

[exotic patrol]

Can't disable toolkit

[quartz kayak]

There should be 2

[exotic patrol]

Let me see

[quartz kayak]

Go on storage and delete everything

You can also force stop on samsung, although i doubt thats gonna help all that much

You gotta do it on both apps

[exotic patrol]

Ye there's 2

I cleared data for both

What people suggest is disabling it entirely with ADB

[quartz kayak]

No idea what that is

What i d do is i would just unninstal it via pc

xD

[exotic patrol]

Which is adb

[quartz kayak]

But mine never rlly annoys me

[exotic patrol]

I don't have my own PC so for now I'm just looking for the best way to do it

[quartz kayak]

😮

Im pretty sure you can do it on cmd fairly easly

[exotic patrol]

Ye with the adb cmd you just find the package name and disable it

[quartz kayak]

Ezz

[exotic patrol]

Where this never works tho is on Huawei for some reason

You can't unlock the bootloader and ADB has like 80% removed functionality

Or no permissions

[quartz kayak]

I stopped having those sim toolkit issues after i changed from huaweii

I remember it beeing sooooooo annoying

Then you d try to leave and it would open back up

It was like a virus, horrid

Im guessing the eu law went against it and now its not a thing thank god

[exotic patrol]

This is similar to what I get

[rapid lake]

@quartz kayak

Bruh

[nova steppe]

[rapid lake]

I just realised

You’re fish

[nova steppe]

RIGHT

[rapid lake]

Thought you were the real rem-rem

[nova steppe]

had the same moment yesterday

[exotic patrol]

Do you never check people's profiles before you message

[rapid lake]

I do

[exotic patrol]

Also this isn't SSDs

[rapid lake]

We were initially

[exotic patrol]

Why BIOS

Oh you switched to an SSD boot drive

That's why it's SSDs and Power

[nova steppe]

move the Windows boot manager first

[exotic patrol]

Use the windows 7 boot manager

[rapid lake]

To?

[nova steppe]

Move it to be the First boot option

[exotic patrol]

Priority for boot manager

[rapid lake]

I’ll wait for 🐟

[nova steppe]

did it not work??

[exotic patrol]

Are you experiencing issues or what

[nova steppe]

@rapid lake

just move the windows boot manager to the first spot

you weren't scrolled down this far in the first picture, which is why she didn't tell you the same thing

[rapid lake]

I already did

[rapid lake]

Now I have a black screen

[nova steppe]

[rapid lake]

I’m gonna restart

[exotic patrol]

Are you trying to dual boot

Why are we using boot manager again

I need more info

[nova steppe]

i did not know this went that many hours back

[rapid lake]

Yeah that’s kinda why I wanted to wait for fish

But anyways

[exotic patrol]

I could help but I'm sure the details are like an hour long so

What's the main banefit of unmodded windows PE

[rapid lake]

Restarting gets me to windows but then when I try to format, it restarts, and then I get a black screen again

So there’s that

[exotic patrol]

Had what are you trying to do

[lost fossil]

deae diary, it did not die somehow

[nova steppe]

what happened bottom right

[lost fossil]

exactly

[rapid lake]

Trying to format the pc

[lost fossil]

my nail polish arrived today so i slapped these with 3 layers of it

[quartz kayak]

I am literally the real rem rem

[nova steppe]

do you have a windows USB?

[quartz kayak]

My name says so

[lost fossil]

that was ram-ram

[nova steppe]

[quartz kayak]

Rem rem was originally murdi

[lost fossil]

[rapid lake]

Idk

[quartz kayak]

Had doesnt know if he hates me or not now

[rapid lake]

LMAO

[quartz kayak]

Did you figure it out now

U were suposed to change the windows #1 boot to boot manager

[nova steppe]

@rapid lake If you have a windows USB, use that to boot with, and format the drive using the utility. Then you can install windows on your kingston drive

[quartz kayak]

He has windows somewhere in his pc

I just cant figure out where

[nova steppe]

bruh

[quartz kayak]

And he ll need that key anyways

[nova steppe]

If you've signed in with a microsoft account on an activated PC, you shouldn't need a key if you just sign in when you install

[quartz kayak]

Im telling you, we ve booted into everything and only the boot manager got into windows somehow

[lost fossil]

my windows are currently outside of my pc

[nova steppe]

he said it didn't work on our most recent attempt, which is why I suggested the USB

now, as for my personal experience

Set the boot to Legacy and it'll work. Watch

[lost fossil]

i remember doing that with a chinese x99 mobo and it never worked again

[nova steppe]

swap it from UEFI boot to Legacy boot, and leave the Windows Boot Manager as the first boot option @rapid lake

[nova steppe]

[rapid lake]

I did

[quartz kayak]

@nova steppe read from here

[nova steppe]

swapping to legacy after I got this screen fixed my problems in the past

[rapid lake]

That’s not the screen I’m getting when it restarts to format

It’s just

Black

[nova steppe]

try the legacy boot tho

just covering all the bases

[exotic patrol]

I should just drive to had's house and set it up in 3 secs then leave

[quartz kayak]

Do it

But teach him how to do it aswell

So he learns

We must teach

Pass our legacy on

[exotic patrol]

So let's start from scratch

He wanted to format the pc

How did he do it

[rapid lake]

It’s in UEFI and Legacy

I’ll do legacy only

[rapid lake]

Legacy boot takes me back to this screen

[nova steppe]

wallahi we're cooked

[exotic patrol]

Had how did you format the PC

Just answer me that

[rapid lake]

I don’t have a USB with windows and I cba to download it to one right now

[nova steppe]

through windows

[rapid lake]

But I shouldn’t need one

[nova steppe]

It's honestly the easiest option

[exotic patrol]

Why didn't he boot to PE and just simply reinstall
