I have Windows 8.1 Pro installed on what was my primary SSD. I bought a new SSD to clean install Windows 10 Pro. If you don't mind, please review the following screenshot: Disk 2 is the new SSD with the fresh Windows 10 Pro install. Notice how none of the seperate Windows partitions...

Delete and remove the virtual switch first, got it! Thank you. I notice a, albeit very tiny, footprint from Hyper-V being enabled. My applications take an extra split second to start up (hah). Thank you again for the sound advice and giving me the correct procedure, I wouldn't have come...

Great guide. I've encountered an error where if I disable Hyper-V by "Turn Windows Features on or off," and then proceed to enable it at a later stage, the virtual switch I've created will be deleted. In that same instance, I won't be able to create a new virtual switch as when I get to the...

Are you getting those placeholder characters in Superfly's (above poster) Showkey application, or Advanced Tokens Manager? If the latter, I'd highly recommend Showkey, it's excellent software! Also perhaps when your laptop was repaired they installed a MB that didn't have key flashed to the...

Three users vouching for the software. Probably a safe bet. :)

I certainly have. For an example: I have an application on my computer called RSA Secure ID. It generates a unique, single use token code so that I can log onto my works' Citrix based applications platform (just another layer of security on top of my password). RSA Secure ID working...

From this thread and after a lot of research, AND testing with the software, I confirmed that Macrium seems to be a really powerful imaging tool. I work from home for my company and I need to have an exceptionally reliable backup system, and Macrium really does fit the bill. With Windows 8.1...

Thank you TONSCHUH. This is helpful, I wont push it as far as they did in that article, will probably go +100MHz This was very helpful:

Thanks guys. I'm "reasonably" well versed with overclocking GPUs, as it's quite a simple process. Just wondering if any expert-grade enthusiasts would be able to approximate TDP and wattage for slightly overclocked 980's. Count, cheers for the info. I *think* that the 980s have a pretty...

Hello everyone, I run a 500W PSU, so Nvidia assures me that it will be ample for the GTX 980. I currently run a 770. If I overclock the base clock by a further 100MHz, and the memory clock by around 200MHz, will it really increase the TDP by that much? And will a 500W PSU still be ample...

Ah okay Count Mike, I was just familliar with the two shutdown temp's I mentioned Yeah oddly enough, System Shutdown Temperature & CPU Shutdown Temperature (the CPU one must be independant of the core i7's auto shut off mode, which I understand is something the chip does irrespective of BIOS...

Uhhh, I'm sorry, but yes it is. :s That's what this thread is all about mate!

Thanks for your response. I forgot to mention, after turning both of those BIOS related shutdown settings off, Prime95 did not cause a shutdown. I think it's not a coincidence that Acer left these BIOS settings off on a gaming machine, as when turned on, it shuts down at a mere 70c. I was...

Hey guys, Hopefully this thread is in the right place. I own an Acer Predator gaming PC, and specifically, it has an American Megatrends UEFI BIOS which is presumably modded my Acer. In the advanced settings, both ''System Shutdown Temp'' and ''CPU Shutdown Temp'' are off by default...

Superfly, nice information! I think this whole thread is really just for educational purposes concerning the relatively unknown details of software license, and activation in 8.1 - and, you can never have too much knowledge.

Cheers Ztruker, I just happened to stumble across it but I agree, it's fairly cool software. Regarding image activation I wasn't taking anything for granted in OEM 8.1, but that's nice to know. Ronster: I can see from your specs that you have a custom built machine. As far as I understand...

Here is my first attempt, I think it must be literally the fastest PC in the world ... Here is the second attempt that seems real (unfortunately) Darn Acer Bios taking ages to get into post!

Just to report back after completing the upgrade in case anyone else applies the same over analysis of a scenario such as this: David your software worked perfectly, thank you again. And here is an application that confirms that the OEM key is still in me BIOS, hooray! (RW Everything...

Here is my benchmark - custom preset, with everything maxed out.

To be quite honest I did already use Belarc to retrieve the key, and to my joy it worked! BUT, the software you've advised shows your OEM key, and the currently installed/used key, so in other words...awesomeness. Thank you for that David, that adds more relevant knowledge to this whole...
