LOL, I have all the keys from WIN95 through WIN8. So, I would have to format and reinstall WIN10 using the 7PRO key?

I entered it during installation. But realized the install is not activated. Tried to enter both keys from within Windows. It takes the keys, but then fails to activate (as opposed to an invalid string of numbers). Probably deactivated as you suggested. So where is the best place to purchase...

In 2018 I purchased 2 Windows 10 Pro "superkey" from ickywu. I believe a lot of forum members purchased keys from him with positive results. Yes... it took me this long to finally rebuild my system, lol. I was under the impression that a superkey has no expiration, so I got lax. Anyway...

Sorry I haven't been responding. Didn't realize there were so many responses. I must not have selected email notifications. I appreciate all of the offers and suggestions. I don't game and I don't do as much CAD as I used to, so the GTX260 is still plenty of GPU for me. I've needed to...

$100 ish was my target. I haven't been on Ebay in sol long, lol. I also haven't followed ANY of the performance ratings of the past 10 years, making it hard to know what is / isn't a good deal. Basically been telling myself if it's newer than the Q9300 and will keep me running, then it's...

Definitely interested Can you PM specs and price? Thx!

Hello all. Been a long while since I've been active on this forum. Life took me in a different direction. Glad my account is still here, and that my forum status is even intact. :) My system has been slowly dying for months and it's now crashing, freezing, and BSOD multiple times per hour...

BUMP. Going camping for the weekend. More items will be posted starting Monday.

BUMP

fixed the red, removed items headed for the dumpster.

BUMP... I will be finally adding remaining items this week. Putting all the oldest items together in a bulk box that will be put on Craigslist. If it still doesn't sell, it is dumpster bound.

So, I've had my HTPC for many years. I had satellite TV in an area where nothing is available OTA, so never did any tuning or DVR functions. Now I'm in the city, with Comcast cable, and I'm already tired of the equipment rental fees and the limitations of said hardware. Current setup is...

There is if you consider things like power consumption, heat generation, cooling noise, and hardware cost. I guess I'm in the minority, but I prefer my HTPC to run low-power. Video streaming, BluRay movies, and even DVD up-conversion do not require much horsepower, and I can't stand to hear...

i7 w 16Gb for a mere HTPC?? Please tell me you are using it for more than media streaming, lol.

Starhawk... I've played with PCs since the days of IBM386, Z80, and 6520's... And I have never even seen an MFM drive, LOL. I had to google just to learn what one is! BTW, if anyone else is also clueless...
