  1. Anyone do a Win 11 upgrade from 10 (not a clean install)? Does it keep apps?

    Google says it keeps apps and data but I have doubts, bc previous win upgrades have never kept my apps intact. Data from my documents etc sure. But I don't want to reinstall a 1000 things and I'm just wondering if this smoke dream is reality yet. I thought I might ride Win 10 into the ground...
  2. Bazzite? Anyone using it?

  4. Anyone using Windows 10/11 LTSC?

    Planning my eventual upgrade, it seems like LTSC might be a good option since it cuts out a ton of bloat and all the AI/Copilot crap. Anyone have experience with it? Also it seems I can't use a regular Win 11 grey market key with it, I would have to buy a regular license which is likely around...

    With the doomsday clock ticking down for Win 10, I'm thinking about trying linux for gaming again.... it's been years and I do not have fond memories. Seems like I spent more time d!cking with configs and trying to make stuff work right than actually playing. I use Mint on old laptop for...

    https://www.newegg.com/white-kediers-c-570-atx-case/p/2AM-00HH-00032 Saw this thing on Newegg, on sale for $129. Reminds me a little of that open concept Antec case from years ago. Anyway, this thing is pretty funky looking, but it's got ALL the fans! Maybe you guys can buy one and review it?

    https://www.newegg.com/black-asus-tuf-gaming-atx-mid-tower/p/N82E16811173038 Not a bad looking case for $55, for those in need. I assume that stupid looking strap thing on the front can either be removed or not installed in the first place. Comes with 4 fans which is a plus.
  17. Show of hands.... who still uses add in sound cards?

    Who still uses sound cards? If you were building new today, would you bother? I am still rocking my 15 whatever year old X-Fi titanium. But I don't even know if it would work with Win 11, and Daniel K hung up his hat on his hacked driver suite, I'm not sure Creative even supports it any more...
