    Hard drive crashed


    I have a Dell XPS 9100 from 2011, the HD stopped working last night. I have a new drive ordered and was wanting to know if the Windows 7 key on the computer would be valid for Windows 10, did the key roll over to the update? I would like to avoid buying a new copy of Windows 10 if I can since I bought 7 when the machine was new.

    If anyone has any ideas on the HD I'm open to trying to fix that. I get a 2000 0141 error code and the tips to fix it have not worked.

    Thanks for any help.

    :)

    Overclock your hard drive!!!

    Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

    REQUIREMENTS:
    • Hard drive with molex power connection.
    • PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
    • Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.
    STEPS:
    • Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
    • Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
    • Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
    • Plug in a drive and feel the speed!
    Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
