PK thank you. I'll look inside and see what I can tell.
I may have to resort to youtube videos to show me how to do it.

But my i5-3470 PC will supposedly only take one drive at a time.
Can't install both drives into it at the same time, is what the guy at the PC shop told me.

The PC shop guy says it will only take an SSD or a spindle HD.
I posted a question in the software section.
If you have a minute, please reply. Thank you.

Good idea. I've washed mine with car wash liquid soap a few times and rinsed them with a water hose. Mine are black but they get dirty bc I have a dirt floor in my garage and even though I wipe my...

I hope this is posted on the right forum.

I gave my Dell GX620 with Win7 away to a PC guy today.
I also took my new Dell 7010 SFF PC there with i5-3470 and 250 GB HD in it, 8 GB RAM and Win 10...

OK, that sounds like good advice to me. :)

Maybe I'll run this for a while and switch to the SSD later.

Thanks. I take a lot of photos of her.

She's the most photogenic cat here.
They love her on a cat forum I post at.

She's an awesome calico girl cat. She showed up here in May 2017 about the time my 73 YO sister suddenly died so I got her spayed and treated her fleas, and she's came a long way. There used to be a...

Update : I got my refurb Dell 7010 today and updated Win10. It seems to run real nice with the i5-3470 processor and onboard 250 GB HD + 8 GB RAM.

I have a feeling it's the i5 + the 8 GB RAM that...

Why, do you remember when I posted pics here?
I'm a camera buff and own dozens of digital cameras.
I have thousands of pics I've taken but most of them are of my cats, my cars, and my meals. ...

Interesting. I'm looking forward to running it. This should be quite an improvement over what I have and even more so when/if I put the SSD into it.
I will then put my Windows 10 tower Dell as a...

Thanks for the advice.

I was able to cancel the other PC and get a restored Dell 7010 SFF w/ i5-3470, 8 GB RAM, Win 10 Pro, and a 1 year warranty.
For just $40 more I got a machine that, as you...

OK thanks. Although this Dell 960 tower with Win 10 runs pretty good with 4 GB RAM and SSD 250.

By much better, do you mean faster?

PS : You can lay any tower on it's side and run it that way, is that right?

I may get a Dell 7010 SFF with i5-3470, 3.2 Ghz, 8 GB RAM and 250 GB HD.
It's about $139 shipped.

The i5-3470 is much better?

Would you sell me a PC and ship it to me? If so, for how much? I live in East TN.
I might be able to cancel my other one.

One of the Dell towers that same seller has that's big like my current Win 10 PC is 15" or 16" tall is a 4 digit one, a 9020 or 3010 = big, heavy PCs I'm wanting to get away from.
I figured the...

I bought a refurbished Dell 790 USFF (I think it stands for ultra small form factor). I think it's only about 12 inches tall. I'm getting tired of the big, heavy, bulky towers. Will a small PC like...

Never mind. I finally got it.
I entered the code they emailed me.

Feel free to delete this post if you want to.

I got my Brightridge Fiber Optic Internet and it works nicely.
I'm running a 10 year old Dell 960 with core duo and Windows 10.

At startup I keep getting an MS notice that my accounts need...

Glad to hear it. I changed to the optimum settings with the TCP Optimizer and then rebooted and I seem to be running very nicely. Thanks again.

Interesting stuff. Thanks again.

I guess that little Archer C20 might be a good router for me after all, and my old Dell Optiplex 960 should have many years left in it.
And as I said, I'm...

I'm seeing how some TP Link routers are called gigabit routers. The one I bought at Office Depot isn't what I wanted. I told the man I didn't want to buy something that would create a bottleneck in...

What I think I need in a PC to get full use of the 200 Mbps the fiber optic internet will supply, is a 10/100/1000 LAN port, is that right?
I think my Dell Optiplex 960 has the 10/100 LAN port.

Hi,

The guys set up the outdoor fiber optic cable today and I showed one of them the box my TP Link Archer C20 came in.
He says it will work well with my fiber optic cable. It has 300 Mbps and...

I can't get this link to work.
I don't get very good speeds on the SG speed test from Atl, CA, and FL. I think in the 30s.
On other speed tests I've gotten up to 91 Mbps.
Charter advertises that...

Hmmmm. I had a feeling that might be true.
The man at Office Depot said all I will be able to get is 100 Mbps even if my fiber optic supplies 200 Mbps.

I set it up tonight and I seem to get...
