    Hello! Upgraded to new desktop


    Hi, Thanks for the add.

    I recently upgraded my desktop as the 10-year-old Dell MB died, it arrived today - a Dell 8940 w 32G RAM, 17 10th gen, Intel integrated GPU. I had been upgrading RAM, drives, GPU, PSU but it was finally time to give it up.

    I use the computer primarily for photo editing, Lightroom and Photoshop. Im not a novice, but not an expert either, and a bit overwhelmed about the best way to continue:


    Hello! Upgraded to new desktop [​IMG]


    This is new system:

    C: is current 1T SSD system drive that came with computer

    H: is previous 1T SSD system drive that is in an external dock for now

    I: is 6T HDD drive that has only latest photos for LR catalogue, in external dock

    E: is 5T external backup HDD

    F: is empty - I think a partition never used?

    G: is the same, unused partition?

    I have access to all drives.

    I have another 6T HDD filled with photos for LR catalogues

    I think only two slots left in chassis, one SSD and one HDD. The dock also has space for one SSD and one HDD.

    Ive installed new version of LR. Where do i go from here? Making best use of former C drive SSD, renaming drives, linking to LR, etc.

    Thanks in advance...

    OC the q6600
    Buy a Radeon 7850 or 650ti
    Buy another 4GB of RAM, a stick should only be $20.
    Keep your PSU

    Hello! Upgraded to new desktop

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.
