  1. How to change an library from 'read only'


    The title might require some explanation. I was planning on downloading some mods for one game or the other, but the mod doesn't work. I began troubleshooting and even consulted a decent amount of forums, aaaaand... After going down the list of possibilities, I discovered that the problem lies with the file I want to change being set to 'read only'.

    THAT unveiled a whole other series of problems. Despite doing everything- Changing permissions to the entire drive, taking windows ransom protection off and changing a bunch of other features- I simply cannot get the library off of 'read only'. The only option I had was change it through Powershell, but that doesn't seem to work for entire libraries, only individual files. So, I require help with any more wierd options that you might have.

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing

    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)
