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...

Not yet, are these relevant instructions? https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16474-prime95-stress-test-your-cpu.html

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)

I was using entertainment and once the fans hit 40% they became very noisy. What % do you run your fans on and so you use a cooling pad or anything? I could even hear the fans in the next room.

Hey @Tron1982 how do you handle the very noisy fans? I can see that the CC only has 4 presets and no option to change them. It sounds like a hovercraft. This is even at 44% fan usage.

Bought it with windows 10 - will provide feedback when I get it! Thanksk Tron & Spyder

Much appreciated. FYI my latest build (ok to go slightly over for the gold membership) Chassis & Display Destian Series: 15.6" Matte Full HD 240Hz 72% NTSC LED Widescreen (1920x1080) Processor (CPU) AMD Ryzen 5 5600X Six Core CPU (3.7GHz-4.6GHz/35MB CACHE/AM4) Memory (RAM) 16GB Corsair 3200MHz...

Hi Tron, I'm thinking that I'll remove the second HD and up the first one to 1 TB and use that money I've saved to upgrade to the 3070. I'm trying to find out more information about the Destian chassis, but honestly the fact that it's only you talking about that laptop here leaves me concerned...
