I know exactly the thread you mean, but for the life of me can't find it! How annoying!
Never mind, it's never a bad topic to go through again.
What have you bought the PC for, what kinds of uses as will affect the paces it's worth putting it through?

To-Do list when PC arrives
With my build currently in the testing stage, it's time to look ahead at its arrival. I'm looking for advice and opinions on what I need to do after I turn it on for the first time. From what I've read on the forum since being here, running Windows update as many times as is needed seems to...

I'll be using it mainly for gaming and a light bit of editing/streaming.
I've reinstalled windows and I now believe my drivers are up to date 🤞

Good call, have moved that thread to ‘general guides’ and pinned it 👍
It’d be from Nvidia for your GPU drivers 👍
If your card has any RGB elements to it, the software for that will be from Zotac.

It’s non optional. Windows is licensed software, to run it without would be illegal.

We wouldn’t be able to offer any support on a non licensed windows, it’s piracy plain and simple. As PCS are a Microsoft partner, we need to treat it as it is.
Sorry, I meant the free one and paid, not pirated

There is no such thing as free windows, any windows that hasn’t had a license applied is pirated.

As important as paying for your items in a trolley at the checkout of any supermarket - just calmly sneaking out through the exit
The only difference that theft is happening at your home and there're no CCTV watching you while you do that every day.It's risky, may be unsafe and may not work us expected, but possible. PCS wouldn't give you software support, and you may end up waking up one day and seeing on the news that Microsoft decided not to provide Windows updates for such unregistered OS.

If you have a legally obtained Win 10 key and you won't use your old machine, you may transfer that licence to a new machine as per instructions in the below link.
Transferring digital windows 10 license to new machine
Hi all Quite a few people already have a windows 10 License which they want to transfer over to the new PC. Windows 10 now makes this easy, even if you have an OEM license, you can legitimately turn it into a "digital license" by tying it to your microsoft account, and then transfer it legally...
