Windows 10: Any ideas on what to do?

So I have had this old Dell PC in my house and wanted to start using it for work. After starting it up today I went to update the system only to be stuck at this 88%. I restarted the system and got the same result. I have been stuck at 88% for almost an hour now. Not sure what to do

:)

 

what video card would you go with

Nice *Wink . I look at it like this. You have 90 days to do the Step-up. If you buy it today..

• That's May 12thish that you have be the ability to do the step up...
• But, in that 90 days, you may have the chance to get the 4870x2 down to a price worth getting.
• Or, Just buy one of the new cards...

3 possibilities in one little buy.

double post (sorry) but another good way is to sort it by FSB, so that people can look to the top of the list to see the best OC'er in each category.


possibly sort it out by core type as well?

Kentsfield (B-3 stepping)
Kentsfield (g0 stepping)
Conroe
Conroe 1333 FSB (e6x50 line)
Allendale (2M 800FSB)


its an idea, but the list is somewhat short at the moment so it may be pointless til it gets bigger.

 

is it possible to hand build a motherboard?

Might I suggest you simply build a computer, making notes and taking pictures step by step. Most people (probably including your teacher) have no idea even where to start building a computer. You'll do fine, and if you get stuck we're here to help ya out! *Toast :toast:
