    What is the default data limit on Win 10?


    I was having issues with my upload speed, read something about changing the data usage so I changed it to unlimited, I still an having serious issues with everything but want to set the data limit at what it originally was, but don't remember. I'm not even sure what the limit does and doesn't affect. Please, someone help me.

    :)

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
    Memory speeds

    Worth moving to Win 10?  

    Update:

    Thanks for all the help, suggestions, etc.

    In the last week I installed win 10 Pro on 4 machines here, all clean installs. Thanks to those who suggested imaging...I've been doing so for years, and use a 'progressive install image' strategy (make an image of the HD before I do software installs or significant changes on a new install). I also schedule 3 times/weekly overnight imaging of my system and data drives & partitions in all mission critical machines. My preferred imaging program is Macrium (paid version), although I've also used Norton Ghost (old days) and Acronis.

    I used Win 7 pro and win 8 pro keys and all were accepted. Gotta love that. But here again, for any software I don't pay for, I assume that I am the product (as well as for software I do pay for).

    All has gone fairly smoothly and I actually like WIn 10 (a far cry from my opinion when I test drove it during its first year). There are some idiocies (not unexpected), but overall, I like it.

    Here is a list of what I've put in place in terms of limiting how much data collection occurs for the benefit of those who might be searching for ways to limit Win 10 data collection.

    I'd also appreciate any comments/suggestions on any additional steps not listed and that I may not be aware of.

    • All win 10 settings provided have been changed to limit data collection.
    • Shutup ran and configured. I'll monitor this intermittently after updates, given that updates may change some of my settings back.
    • Windows 10 Firewall Control (sphinx software) to monitor and limit outbound traffic (this is a firewall I've used for years). Latest versions have a setting to shut down updates and apps. I don't have the update restriction configured at present, because I do want win updates. Unfortunately, W10FC doesn't or isn't able to separate the apps from system/security updates. The workaround for that, should I choose to take it is to manually install updates.
    • A vpn, which I only disable when necessary
    • Edge removed as default browser, shutup used to turn off all Edge options, outbound firewall configured to restrict Edge to Lan Only.
    • Firefox as default browser with noscript and other privacy addons, all privacy settings configured.
    • I don't use the app store or app store apps.

    Overall, privacy concerns notwithstanding, I'm pretty impressed with Win 10. I'm also impressed with Windows Defender and the security options put in place, along with the interface.

    One other comment...although I've installed Classic Shell, I mainly use the Win 10 start menu. It's come a long way since the early days and I find it very efficient and easy to use. I miss the transparency of Win 7, and Classic Shell did make a noticile difference in the transparency of the TaskBar, but not the Start menu. A registry edit somewhat helped with that.

    There are some other issues, but I'll post those in other threads.

    Again, thanks for the comments.
