    Planning to Upgrade hardware


    I'm planning to upgrade my HDD within the next few weeks, and I wanted to make sure that I can install Windows. I have what I believe is the Windows 7 product key I found it written down but upgraded to Windows 10 when it was available. However, when I tried to download the Windows 7 installer, it gave me this error message: Message Code 715-123130 and Transaction ID 521de63e-fe5b-4bf1-bfaf-03fa925926f9.

    I did then download the Windows 10 installer to USB, but I would like to make sure that I in fact do have a correct key lest I try to upgrade my PC and not be able to install Windows.

    :)

    List your Spec and a one year update plan

    As the title suggests. List out your main rig's spec and then illustrate out what you plan to upgrade within the next 12 months. I am talking REAL planned upgrades, not day dreaming of filling up your machine with 4 TitanXp and etc.

    Power plan?

    Upon checking, it seems that there's nothing wrong with your system. It is usual that you have to double-click your mouse before your monitor wakes up.

    For the meantime, we suggest changing the power plan by following the steps below:

    • Press Windows key + S.
    • Type in Power Settings.
    • On the pop-up window, choose Additional power settings.
    • Select High performance.

    After changing the power plan, we suggest that you monitor the changes made and check if that will work for you.

    Get back to us if you need further help.
