Everything except the CPU has arrived. Nice thing w/ the fan, it came with the thermal paste. Also the case is pretty awesome.

Nice

I was able to power on the desktop. Will post pictures tomorrow.

Currently hitting an issue activating windows 10 on new SSD and new hardware.

I can't seem to transfer the digital license. It only shows my old desktop, not my new one. I'm signed into the same MS account as old desktop. Any ideas?

Have you tried lying to microsoft? Just say your new computer is the old one, that should transfer over the license.

Those freeby keys from old Win 7/8 licenses don't carry over if you get a brand new PC, they're meant to get people's current machines up and running with the newest OS. Those keys are tied to motherboard, hard drive and basically everything. You can transfer the license if you change a part here or there, but if you get a completely brand new everything, there is no piece of the "old" PC that the license was tied to and your freeby license is essentially burned up at that point. If you had a win 10 retail license, then yes, you can keep activating that on new setups. But as far as I'm aware, those licenses they give out from free upgrades are not transferable to brand new builds with new everything. Unless Jayd knows a trick my only other suggestion is to call Microsoft and ask them to activate the key for you.

I am so confused. I had a MS tech take over my screen and he just hit the tick mark of "this is my device" and it activated my new one. I guess he did something behind the scenes to remove it from my old one.

Alright ladies, it is finished.

I installed Windows 10 64 Bit from my previous post - per JayD, all I had to do was just click that tick mark myself and click "This is my device".


The top has a screen which I took off to show the 2 extra exhaust fans I added:

The case is pretty huge. All the wires are in the other chamber, so it leaves the motherboard and all the parts very clean. I also added an extra 1TB HDD.

I played the following games on the highest graphics settings:

Witcher 3,
Dirt Rally,
Skyrim,
CS GO

And maxed out fps in each, and the 1070 didn't seem to have any trouble - barely hit 65 C

Nice dude! Congrats on the build, looks good.

Goddamn do I love seeing pictures of brand new virgin computers. Nice job quick.

That's a huge laptop dude!







(only because I just checked this thread and saw the title and the screenshots)

LOL!
