    Does the FF POST code come up immediately?

    If you connect a monitor, can you get into BIOS?

    In general you can think if 'FF' POST as Found Fault.

    If you immediately get an 'FF', go back to the basics... Remove all but one graphics card. Remove all but one stick of memory.

    Went to update bto Win10 yesterday and it turns out I have enterprise 8.1....


    So do I wait to buy it or pick up a copy of 7 and upgrade later?

    If its for your job or it makes you money I always go with "If it ain't broke don't fix it".

    If it's your personal box I'd get a copy of 10 and do a clean install. Win7 will upgrade only and doing a clean install from 7 to 10 is a major pain in the dickhole.

    Well you can always do the Win7 upgrade to 10 and if she hates 10 you can roll it back to win 7 (30 days to do this). Only people I've heard bitch about 10 is because they have software that doesn't run on it yet or driver compatibility issues.

    Win 10 is solid IMO.

    Im actually really happy with 10. Took a little bit to get used to the organization coming from 7 (no warm up from 8) but it's definitely nice looking, works well, and the Xbox integration is so amazing. That's worth it on it's own imo. If I didn't have a One already.. It would make me go buy one.. And vice versa if I didn't have a PC or Windows 10 already.

    Most people can use home and be just fine with it. Lots of features of Pro are never used for home users. But take a look and see what fits you best.

    Yup you were pretty upset about the file management but it all can be changed very quickly.

    Been a long time since I've had to do that

    Windows 8.1 and 10 supports games from the Windows Store. There is a great one Asphalt 8 which is a lot of fun with a controller hooked up to the PC.

    Plus it's super easy to hack. I now have 888,888,888,888 dollars in the game to buy cars and mod :)

    HAHA! Right? Though I'm pretty much done with my truck now. I have a few more small things to get but it's finally about done.

    Now my Civic on the other hand. The money pit has only begun!

    I had a CRX that was amazing. Flipped it on the freeway due to a tire blowout. Flipped it 3 times head over heels. I want one again so bad but I know I'll never make it the same.
