  1. Upgrading to new computer


    Current PC is 7 years old running Windows 10 at 20H0 lever. Not compatible with Windows 11 because of TPM missing. I'm thinking of buying a new PC. I think I read long ago that if I sign on to the new PC with my Microsoft Account my settings and desktop would be migrated to the new PC. Am I correct?

    :)

  2. Video card or RAM need upgrading?

    Memtest: no errors after 10 hrs.
    I'm going to perform the Primetest, later on. Get back to you on that.
    I'm going to take it step by step, guys. I need to find the problem with this current computer. I might have to upgrade some components, so that it is still runnable. As for the new one, yes....i will build on it later. I need to find something decent 'gaming experience', all suggestions appreciated. THanks.

    New Computer: Upgrading from Windows 10 Home to Pro

    Mom is getting a new computer. Although the computer will have Windows 10 Home preinstalled, we want the Pro version.

    Are the steps correct to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro?

    • Click Start > Settings > Update & security > Activation > Go to store > make your purchase, follow the on screen instructions and within 5 to 10 minutes you will be upgraded to Windows 10 Pro.

    We are in Canada. I am guessing that the upgrade price is close to US$100 converted to Canadian dollars?
