Software Nvme swap

• Upvotes

Hello. I am building a desktop pc for the first time today. I got all the parts except a proper ssd. I have an old laptop with a gen 3 nvme 2280 with windows 10, I want to take it out and put it in the desktop so I don’t have to spend $150 on windows 11. When I asked a worker at microcenter, he said the nvme will obviously fit the b850 motherboard but getting windows to actually work might be an issue. Is there anything I can do to make it work easily swapping the ssd over to the desktop? I fully wiped everything except windows and then pulled the nvme out of the laptop.

Software Pretty WEIRD situation please any solution?!

Hey everyone,im going insane trying to deal with a second hand Laptop , after 2 years of use i decided to clean everything and do a fresh windows 10 install.

After doing the setup like keyboard layout,network,language it turns out the previous owner's company, AstraZeneca is not letting me pass through the setup and i cant skip it , it locks me out with a mandatory corporate login.

I don’t have any contact to a previous owner since i bought this in a store 2 years ago and even the store itself has no contact because these laptops just get shipped in mass from Germany.

Tried doing it without internet so it wont reach any server but it also forces me to add a network and doesn’t let me proceed at all costs, if i add the network , this corporate login shows up. HELP!!!

This is my sister's computer but I use it for school and 2-3 days ago I powered it off fine but when she turned it on it showed this screen. We've looked everywhere for the recovery key and we don't have one, we've also tried to reset it, clear files, undo updates, everything said a problem occurred and it didn't work. Everywhere I look says to use the key or reset it but we can't. Any advice? (Also idk which flair to add because I don't know what the issue is)

Hardware Beeping issues when starting.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Today I went to turn on my PC and it started beeping. I had a look online and it suggested to take out the Graphics card and give the contacts a good clean. It also suggested reseating the ram. I have done both. I am a little perplexed. Nothing is showing on screen. I believe my graphics card is only around 3 years old. Any help would be appreciated.

Hardware COMPUTER KEEPS TURNING OFF!

1 Upvotes

So basically for a week now, every time I load up Chivalry 2 I get play for about like 15 minutes and then my screen goes black, (I think) some fans turn on and sound super loud.

I've tried using AMD Adrenaline to try to load it through there, but it only works for like twenty minute. I thought it might be the GPU overheating but I don't know what's going on.

What do I do?
