I agree with Fallen Kell (above).. especially if you see no real reason why you would need Win10 -as you say, everything works fine for you on Win7 so far. Maybe you just need/wish more "fresh look".. try some Desktop theme which looks similar to Win10 -just an idea.

I'm using Win7 Home Premium x64 SP1 without any updates and without any anti-whatever stuff, for years. And I never had troubles (and yes, I do visit "risky" download sites). What I think it's important for security is: 1. Firewall with income+outcome control! -every installed "strange" (virus...

I'll try to keep it short... If NAS is supposed to be your only backup storage, then having (at least) two bay NAS is a must -both slots populated, of course. Per default, most NAS are set to RAID 1 (mirroring) which means, if one (of two) disk dies, you just replace faulty disk with new one...

uh, because OP said "only 100MB/s", hence confusion.. thank you for clarifying! Indeed: TP-Link naming sheme is confusing.

ehm... 1Gbit port is 1Gbit/s = 100MB/s max (wired) transfer speed -which all routers have nowaday.

Thank you for all replays. At least in my view, there are still too many guesses and speculations what exactly needs to be patched. And those who know (CPU maker) aren't very talkative. CPU, BIOS, OS, browser, GPU (maybe).. eMail client?.. drivers? Most solutions given so far, look more like...

Hello, There are tons of articles about Meltdown/Spectre issue and about upcoming solutions. As far I understand, it's a CPU (by design) flaw, still it seems "everyone" is working on solution: CPU makers, MB makers, OS makers, Browser makers, etc. And here my confusion starts: Do we need to...

Hello everyone.. Win7 user here (I had Win10 installed for a week and went 'back'). About Win10 is more secure than Win7.. of course it is.. but how much is 'more'? I mean, every month there's quite an amount of security/whatever updates for Win10.. some were updates which update updates. Some...

I use Win7SP1 without any MS updates (last clean install about 2 years ago). My moto in this regard is: don't fix if ain't broken and don't update for sake of being updated. Btw. thinking about the way MS "promoted" Win10, I'm happy with my decision. Anyway, my PC just works -and that's all I...

I can read quite often that 1920x1080 monitors are preferred for watching HD (1080p) movies -so no black bars appear. But.. most movies are in wide format (say 2.35:1) and thus, black bars appear anyway. So I think, deciding for 16:9 monitor because of that, is kinda weak reason. Not long ago...

Hi boris Yes, I was joking about getting drive for free after failure on fifth SSD -sorry if that wasn't obvious. As I see all that, the main point is: ssd is storage device and here, reliability is on first place. Making backups of sensible data is normal, but if that is needed do be done...

You're the man, boris :) I've heard one can get special discount from OCZ after fifth broken SDD -just in case you are interested :D Sorry, but I can't help myself not to laugh. Btw. as many others, I had my Vertex-2 "experience" too. It lasted exactly one year and then all of sudden: not...

Hi Dave, I understand what you mean. But similar as Coup27 (above) I'm very sensible to such things too (btw. no Adobe stuff on my PC). And at least to some degree, I know how to prevent "call-backs" and similar "features" :) Just to clarify: I don't complain about speed. It's just that it isn't...

Hi, I've noticed the same thing OP did. I too have Samsung 830 for about three weeks (had OCZ before). It's not about drivers and stuff installed later. I mean, I've completted installation in first day and no stuff "running behind" was added later. Of course, on second/third day (after I was...
