Just ordered a new pc but now think I might want to change out the SSD that it comes with for a larger SSD. Problem is that win10 will be on the original SSD. Can this be moved? Thanks.

Im adding a floppy drive to a computer that is about 10 years old and never came with one. The tower case has a bay for that size drive, but I dont have the screws. Hopefully my local hardware store will have them. What size do I need? length, thread pitch, diameter, etc. Are they rated as SAE or...

I bought a US Robotics 56K USB External Fax-modem V.92 Model 5633A on ebay without the USB cable. The plug on the rear of the modem is NOT a standard USB connector. It's almost square and fairly large. I will need to buy a cable on ebay for this, but I am not sure what to look for. Is there a name...

I have avoided most versions of Windows. I recall with older versions, if you took a Windows hard drive and plugged it in to a different PC, it would faff about detecting new hardware, and then either BSOD or complain too much hardware had changed, so require re-activation. Now I found a PC in a...

Lately Windows 7 on my computer is misbehaving. Windows 7 is under a lot of stress from Firefox and it's many tabs that are open. Firefox may also cause some kind of corruption in the audio driver of creative labs. Somehow this affects the sleep mode of windows 7. Windows 7 was configured to...

Yesterday the power went off. My computer is on a UPS, but the computer also went off. When the power came back on, the computer didn't. The UPS has a red reset button on the back. When I push it, nothing happens. It has some very loose play. I tried pushing it very hard, but no reset. Can I...

Well, I got the new version 57 of FireFox today. New and Improved with all new Quantum technology (whatever the crap that is). It is noticeably faster and has new color skins (blander, much blander). It appears that each webpage has its own process now plus a couple of more for good luck. ...

Great keyboard, by all indications, after three weeks usage. The "blackness" ,10 measures or 1/6th a greater force of tactility, comparative to wider-used "blue" keys, is appreciable;- not as much for actual utility, as I suspect on speed tests the blues may have it, whereas the black would be...

I was tearing down a HP all-in-one ****box, and noticed that it used SO-DIMMs, like a notebook. Now, these have 204 pins, versus 240 for desktop DIMMs. What is lost? Smaller maximum address space or data bandwidth?

I'm in a quandary, I'm interested in replacing some of the HDs I have (they're around 5 years old now) or at least having a new one on hand as a spare for when needed but want to be figure out if it makes sense to shift to portable HDDs from internally mounted HDDs. My current uses are email, web...

Where can I get extra Hard Drive jumpers for IDE/PATA drives that need them? I've boughten drives from ebay, and they rarely include these jumpers. I'm constantly having to borrow them from other drives that are not in use. I'd like to just buy 10 or 20 of them to have on hand, and be done with it....

I often see "Refurbished" hard drives being sold on ebay. What do they refurbish? As far as I know, once a HDD has problems with the platters or heads, they are trash. About the only part that can be repaired or replaced is the circuit board, but how often do they go bad? (probably very seldom). So...

Not bad, that is for anything less, if you happened to catch it - then they'd obviously have had to give it away for free;- mechanical Blue "replacement Cherry" keys, offhand, I noticed going for $7 in lots of five;- these being approximate to Blacks, at a sixth more desirable tactile clatter,...

I got a damaged PC: the back of the case had been whacked next to the video card. To remove the card, I had to straighten the back slots. Now it had been issuing beeps on startup meaning no VGA card detected. I tried 3 other cards in the slot, but still beeped at me. So then I tried the secondary...

I was told that the IDE hard drives work better with the 80 wire cables than with the 40 wire ones. I know a guy who has a lot of this stuff and he gave me a few of the 80 wire cables. But there is a problem. All of the ones he gave me, have about 2.5 or 3 inches between the two plugs on the drive...

Does anyone know of any available professionally-made backlit 101-key mechanical keyboards in IBM Model M (now Unicomp) style? (USB or PS/2)
