Windows 10: VERY ANNOYED - New PC Set Up

I have gone through the nuisance of posting this because I am so frustrated. It is downright underhanded and nefarious to require signing in to a Microsoft account in order to even USE a new computer, which I purchased, and belongs to me--not Microsoft. I cannot get past the setup process unless I sign in to a Microsoft account. Does your greed for data and control know no bounds?


And this is a trend in every way Microsoft does business these days. You default everything to your below average apps, fine, but then make it an act of congress to use something else (i.e., the multi-step process of getting out of S-mode and warning (yes WARNING that it might be dangerous to use (heaven forbid) Firefox or Google Chrome). Your business practices are growing so cringy. You are losing my trust, my patience, and soon my business.


I earnestly hope others will voice their similar opinion and that Microsoft will do better in the future. I am one small voice, but I know I am not alone.


Sincerely,


A frustrated and concerned consumer.

Help with setting up a new pc

step one-
REMEMBER THE FRICKIN SPACERS!!! If you dont remember to put the spacers in between the motherboard and the case, you will fry your motherboard, and go through a month and a half of RMA's (like me lol)
step two-
Wire all those annoying case-motherboard connections, because its alot easier to reach the connectors with the board outside the case
step three-
making sure that you don't have anything under the motherboard except spacers, put motherboard in case and screw in
step four-
insert CPU according to directions given to you by CPU company
step five-
set up the rest of the PC, you know what to do *Big Grin
step six-
plug everything in
step seven-
find in motherboard manual the right button to get into BIOS. Press on button, and then hit the button to get into BIOS. Configure BIOS as you please.
step eight-
if you do not have an OS in the hard drive you put in, install it now. if you did, you will need to repair your OS. This will take some time... *Laugh :laugh:
And thats it. you're done! you have a custom rig of gaming power! and if theres one step you need, its the one involving the SPACERS!!! good luck!*Toast :toast:

That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
