    Self-build NO BRAND computer : prepare for resale


    I have a computer which was built NOT BRANDED. This machine went through several stages in its life, including mounted as a hackintosh for years. In 2023, I purchased a Windows 10 licence and rebuilt it with Win 10. Now, I wish to resell it. But to make things safe, I wish to reset Windows not necessarily lose all updates - it is up-to-date now. I read it may be complicated for someone to reinstall all those updates. And I want to make sure the Licence is no longer under my name. 1 Is this feasible to reset so new user would have a machine entirely his? 2 What happen if I leave Windows l

  2. is it possible to hand build a motherboard?

    Might I suggest you simply build a computer, making notes and taking pictures step by step. Most people (probably including your teacher) have no idea even where to start building a computer. You'll do fine, and if you get stuck we're here to help ya out! *Toast :toast:

    Does this computer build have compatibility problems? Opinions welcomed!

    Lets start with what you're going to use this computer for, not what you want to put in it.

    Rules/steps to building a computer (in chronological order):
    First rule: Determine what your needs are.
    Second rule: Define your budget.
    Third rule: Pick parts.
    Fourth rule: Review parts several times.
    Fifth rule: Buy said parts.
    Sixth rule: Build it.

    You are on rule/step 1. Go through the list until you're done.

    Building a computer for a friend

    Any reason for listing the 3820? Socket 2011 is total overkill for what your looking for. Socket AM3+ would be more appropriate.

    My build suggestion, just pick a case your friend likes the looks of. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/17UJv
