Pendragon1, that one might well be the ticket. The price works too. That 10.5 x 23.5 height range; I am assuming that is from the center of the VESA bracket. If so I could set the bottom of the monitor pretty low if needed.

I have an old Dell U3011 30 inch monitor that is still kicking really well. I want to put that thing on a new arm. I think it weighs between 20 and 25 pounds without the stand. The arm needs to be a clamp on and would like it to have lots of movement. The old one has gotten to the point where it...

My Windows 7 is an OEM from a past build so it looks like a new key is needed. Will see.

The real question is which VM software is best or does it really matter? Virtual Box, VM Ware, the app in Windows 10 Pro or something else. ? Will be my first Virtual Machine. Basically the main reason for it is some Windows 7 software I have and want to use that won't install on Windows 10...

Thanks for the above replies. The only reason I am still using and may need to still use Windows 7 is some business software that won't run on Windows 10....supposedly! Once I get the dual boot up I will find out about that for sure. If it won't run (which I expect it won't) or I can't find a...

So I am going to add a new SSD. Not sure yet but either a 1 TB Samsung 860 EVO or Pro. Looks like the EVO might be the ticket. Though prices look to be dropping some and the EVO does have 1/2 the TBW's of the Pro. Probably not an issue. So on the comp I am dealing with, I built. It has Windows...

I guess no one has flashed this thing. There does seem to be one Marvel file on the Asus site but it is a few years old. Wonder if there is a newer one over at Marvel. But the Asus one might be the last safe one for this chip. Considering if I want to be the guinea pig. That old saying is...

OK I checked it. All is well.

That's exactly how I took the Hiberfil file out of there. A whole lot of instant disc space. Couldn't find a stop code. Wondering if Windows didn't get far enough up to write it before the BSOD. On the Samsung Data Migration program I am not going to endorse it as I have only used it once. But...

OK my SSD came in and I have cloned it. I Actually did not use Macrium. I took a look at the Samsung Data Migration software that came with it and decided to give it a try. I figured if it was no good I would just go back to Macrium Reflect. But it worked fine. It is obviously made for...

So the Intel 6g sata 3 on this board is way better than the Marvel. That is fairly known. I did a test with a Crucial M4 256. Plugged into the Marvel 6g port it gets : Sequential Reads: 352 Sequential Write: 153 Random Read: 43803 Random Write: 26649 Plugged into an Intel 3g Sata it gets...

Thanks for the replies. Looks like cloning a C drive is really no different than any other drive then. Sounds good. I will probably still use Macrium Reflect since I have used it before. But I will search around and take a look at the Samsung Software too. My SSD is not here yet so if there are...

Have a Samsung 850 Pro 256gb on the way and when it gets here I will be cloning from a Vertex 3 120gb with Windows 7 on it. I will be using Macrium Reflect. I have cloned a few drives but never a C drive. After searching around I read that it is best to unhide all of the hidden files in Windows...

It gets to the Blue Shutting Down screen and then just sits there. If I leave it for a while it goes to the Blue Screen of Death. I usually just hit the power button right before that. Not sure what caused this. Nothing really new installed. But I have narrowed it down to a Service. When I go to...

Have a WD Raptor 600 drive that I took out of an old build and put in a newer one running Windows 7. It worked fine for about 2 years. I go on Vacation and come back to find the drive not showing up in My Computer. In Disk Management it showed as Disk 4 Dynamic Import Failed. To the right of...
