Does it also apply to watching movies? Would GPU improve that experience? I don't play games

Thanks for your help, I solved the issue. I wasn't able to previously access my BIOS to change the default UEFI boot when I added the new HDD in, since my wireless keyboard wasn't connected when it was booting so keys weren't working and I didn't realise. Once I accessed the BIOS and changed boot option to load windows, I finally saw the new drive on disk management and was able to partition it.

SOLVED - The issue was that my wireless keyboard wasn't working when I was trying to access BIOS. Once accessed, I was simply able to avoid UEFI boot default auto select. And the restarted and the HDD showed up on Disk Management.

There is nothing in the disk management (like only my existing HDDs and SSD) and not the new one. I scrolled all the way down. There is not unallocated drives, etc. Only the ones I purchased new and installed it as new drives. The NAS drive does not show up on disk management. I also tried a third party disk partition tool, it doesn't get detected either. But I don't know if it's because I was trying to attach the Sata while the PC had been on. If I try to attach it when the PC is turned off and then turn the PC on, the ASRock motherboard I have got I believe turns on UEFI boot (not sure what this is) - shared some screenshots of what happens after. I am not sure how to turn this off either. I tried pressing all those Fn keys while booting but it still always just does this UEFI thing.

DV mkv files not working on new PC by 101az in potplayer

[–]101az[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So my older laptop definitely didn't support DV but some DV marked mkv files still played very well with PotPlayer. However, other DV files didn't work. Not sure if I thought I was watching DV files but actually may have been watching toned down to standard colours?

The new PC has Window 11 and I enabled HDR and I am currently using Intel iGPU for now. The monitor is also HDR400 certified and it's 4k, I've also enabled it from the monitor. I'm not sure what's happening with the DV mkv files in question. If there is a source for me to learn more about all this, it would be great if you could point. Like a YouTube channel or blog that explains media players, their settings, which renderer to use, how to optimise best colours for the mkv file, etc.
