    Preferences not syncing to my new computer


    I finally gave in and started to use a Microsoft Account to log into Windows, for the convenience of having preferences sync to other computers. So I recently purchased and set up a Windows 11 computer exactly the way I like it, but then had to return it to the store. Got a replacement, logged in, and I see that my preferences are not syncing. Files have synced from my old computer, but not the preferences that I set on the old computer. Apps that I deleted on the old computer are still on the new computer.

    :)

    Things to do once connected new G-Sync monitor

    I'm getting my G-Sync monitor today.

    I think I have to take the following steps:

    • Connect 1440p G-sync monitor with DP cable
    • Connect second 1080p 60Hz monitor by HDMI
    • Startup PC
    • Reinstall display driver
    • Restart PC (I always do that after display driver install)
    • Activate G-Sync in NV control panel (I believe also V-Sync is auto on after that?)
    • Set my 1440p monitor from 1080p to 1440p
    • Calibrate my 1440p monitor
    Also ingame, I should turn off V-Sync?
    Are there any problems running a second 60Hz 1080p monitor?

    Is there anything else I should do/know?
