    upgrading harddrive


    In my Lenovo Desktop Pc, I want to put a sshd 2TB 2.5" drive in place of the 2.5" 500GB harddrive. In whitch I broke the pins that go to the data cable. That happen at least two years ago. It had had Windows 10 Pro activated on it. However, I purchased a Windows 10 Pro OEM disk from amazon. Want to Know will I run into any problems with new disk, or me autually trying to put drive in and getting the old activation of Windows 10 Pro. Can I do this one way or another? Computer is still listed in my devices on my Microsoft account.

    :)

    Best gaming harddrive Sugestion ???

    Seagate states on their 750gb,32mb cache harddrive that the best application is video surveillance.(liquor stores,how very sad and completly overpriced for the amount of problems they have).Yet Passmark lists this near the top of their harddrive page.Any one have a suggestion for something that will last.(maybe samsung???)
    Also I was considering a Raidmax hybrid 2 sli 630w powersupply.Any thoughts on Raidmax??

    upgrading harddrive

    Is my harddrive faulty?


    Please pull your CMOS battery, wait 20 seconds, install. Enter BIOS, set date and time, make sure SATA is set to AHCI

    Make sure your are booting UEFI

    Boot from media and redo the shift + F10 instructions above. Then install windows using custom. (Step 10 of this Tutorial)

    Clean Install Windows 10

    Then skip to Step 13. How big of a drive shows in the Window for step 13. Notice the note within step 13
