Microsoft has a Windows USB download tool on their site that puts a boot-able 10 installer on your flash drive. I had a previous laptop that I prepped that on.
I gotta reboot my shyt after upgrading from 7.1 32 bit to> first windows 8 32bit,> then to windows 10 64 bit ::francis:

Something went wrong and my cd key didn't transfer over...and I get some activation notice that stays on my screen.

I don't think it's setup to let you go from win8 32-bit to win10 64-bit. I'm not sure what the best work around would be. I guess first upgrade win7/8 to 64-bit, and then upgrade that to win10

I mean it already worked windows let you do it,I got the instructions from them.

Only reason I did this was because I bought more ram and my windows 32 bit would only recognize up to 4gb :francis:

I'll probably just do the reboot again when I get my new cpu and motherboard.

Ill say this about the coli and PCs

I feel like yall know how to properly cable/wire a pc. Everyones computer looks great on the inside.

My cable management always been :flabbynsick:

If i knew how to do it better id probably build and sell PCs on the side
It's easy really, just takes time to properly wire everything around your case.

Even on a case without cable management in mind is OK. Zip ties and wire management loops inside can really tidy things up.

you definitely want 64-bit. a lot of modern games require it

BTW thanks for all the advice from everyone, been taking it all in over the past couple of days,and with my budget and everything, this is what I came with.

*I researched all of the suggestions by everyone


EVGA 500w 80+ $39.99


Antec case $59.99
(Probably could've went cheaper by eye-pleasing also a factor in this :ehh: )


EVGA GTX 960 4GB ,Whisper Silent Cooling
$224.99

Not in a rush for the CPU,something came up(bills :mjcry:) so after I take care of that for the month then i'll look at CPU. I mean I think these purchases will be enough for CS:GO atleast.. :lupe:

Plan on moving my current motherboard into the new case..will get the CPU and new motherboard either next week,or next month.
