ah, didn't realise they had a tool. My googling recommended rufus. Thanks for the insight.

currently just waiting for the delivery of a new USB thumb drive for me to load the iso on.

It didn't get that far was in reference to the microsoft account where I could assign keys. support was very generic and did recommend the verification task outlined by Counting Down

It didn't even get that far, just got told to either contact support or buy a genuine copy of windows.

Thanks, I'll give that a whirl.

Thanks countingdown - I think there may be corrupted files involved... Guess I'll download the windows 10 image from PCS.

Spyder - yes I'm using the same microsoft account (got my office 365 all installed). What's the product key that I can see on my order page, is that not my windows 10 product key?

Hello all, I bought a Laptop from PCS and it was originally windows 10, but if memory serves there was a free upgrade to windows 11. I used it for a long time without any issues. I was having a wifi issue, but thought it was time for a clean and decided to use the Reset option to have a nice...

@barlew I ran the prima95 for 15 minutes CPUID - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Jr0DOykAVxYA7D5VGWgoxI-NO7m8pRot/view?usp=sharing (screenshot just after finishing it) Little graph of temperature - https://drive.google.com/file/d/14NJsVyDkKT40rbuO0NP7MXA6F0LCNkuc/view?usp=sharing. One thing...

ah, you have an i7? Must be the difference between an i7 and the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Six Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.6GHz/35MB CACHE/AM4, @FerrariVie also has an AMD and experiences his laptop getting loud. I'm unsure I would recommend AMD based on my current experience as whatever gains I may be...

@Tron1982 you must be hitting 60% a lot, and you don't find that loud? My laptop is currently 60° just idling with chrome and cc3 on

Thanks @FerrariVie . What do you use to have so many points in your CPU/Fan curve? CC 3 that's installed only has 2 movable points. I was playing X4 last night and the CPU was getting to 88° :/

I'm currently trying to figure out the same thing with my destian (even with the lower cpu). Really surprised by how loud it is. Wife ran in thinking there was something wrong with it

Thanks. The noise between 30 and 40 is what I was expecting from my previous laptop. I've ordered a cooling pad (it's currently on a metal stand so has clear fan space)
