  1. Windows 10 Desktop Won't Recognize New Monitor But Windows 10 Laptop Will?


    I was recently (two weeks ago) gifted a SkyTech Legacy Mini gaming PC. I got an Acer SB220Q bi HD monitor to use with it.


    I tried the HDMI cable I bought separately on the HDMI port in my laptop, plugged in the monitor, and within seconds, it displayed my laptop's lock screen - no issues. So evidently both the cord and the monitor work fine.


    When I plug the monitor into my desktop PC, however, using the same HDMI cable, all I get is a "No Signal" message, and seconds later, the monitor goes to sleep.


    I tried connecting it via the VGA cable that came with the monitor, and setting the monitor to VGA input. And the exact same thing happens. "No Signal," and it goes to sleep.


    I have updated every driver on this computer - ensured many times over that everything is turned on and connected properly - tried unplugging and plugging back in - tried rebooting - spent two hours on the phone with tech support - nothing.


    Tried returning the monitor and getting a replacement. Same exact thing happened with the second monitor: worked fine on the laptop, won't work at all with the desktop PC.


    I have no idea what else to try. Help?


    (For reference, these are some of the desktop specs:

    Window 10 64 bit

    Ryzen 7 1700 8-Core 3.0 GHz

    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 8GB


    The laptop also runs Windows 10 64 bit, although its processor is an Intel i7, and the graphics card in it isn't even remotely as robust as the one in the desktop.)

    :)

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Installing Windows 10 on New PC?

    I'm going to be building a new PC on Christmas and want to install Windows 10 on it. I have Windows 10 on my current PC, which I installed upgrading from 8.1 with the files on a USB. How do I go about installing a clean copy of Windows 10 on this new PC? I think I recall something about installing it once makes Microsoft recognize your hardware, but since this will be a PC I'm not sure what steps I need to take. Do I need to go 8.1 -> 10 or is there a method of going directly to 10?
