  1. Changing MB Activation Question


    I am running Win 10 home on my PC and intend to change out the MB to update the system. What is the most reliable sequence to reinstall Win 10 on the new board so that I can successfully reactivate the installation with my existing license key. I ran slmgr -dli from the cmd prompt and confirmed I have a retail license and retrived it from the computer using external software which indicated that it "Required a Digital License for activation". I am unsure exactly what that means and seek help making this transformation successful. Thanks.

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    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)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    Changing MB Activation Question

    Changed MB, 10565 no more actvated.


    Not all of that.
    Installed new MB.
    One SSD has 10565 on it, didn't do anything to it, old installation that was on previous MB. It was never upgraded from 8.1 just had perpetual upgrade since beginning of insider program. Last clean install was 10240 with all of the others in between.
    Second SSD has 10240 upgraded from 8.1, that one stayed activated, didn't have anything to do to activate.
