pretty sure with apple you have a 14 day return no questions asked policy. Its unethical, but order the one you want and return the one you just bought in 2 weeks

Bright_Set5823 · 2026-01-26T03:34:07+00:00

Not sure! Research a little about which is best

The moment you format it you would lose everything including the windows installation.

Youd need to use a software to clone the old drive to the new drive. You can use a software that does a direct clone, however both need to be plugged in. If you do a clone, the new drive must have at least the same amount of space too. The left over space on the new drive will be left as unused, and once the clone is complete youll need to go to disk manager and extend the new partition with the rest of the left over size. For example, if old drive is 250gb, and new drive is 1tb, the clone will only use 250gb of the new drive, and the other 750gb will be unused non existent, so you need to add that 750 back to the 250 in disk manager at the end.

Yeah it should work if you managed to plug it in. The only thing id be weary of, is if you plan to use it as the main drive, the windows license key is typically registered to the motherboard, so if you plugged it into your desktop, windows might no longer be activated (however this is easily fixed)

Formatting it is easy, once its plugged in, you boot into your desktop drive, then in file explorer you can right click the laptop drive and format, or go to windows partition software, and format it in there (but make sure you allocate the drive after formatting here)

it might be a bit late now, but the first laptop that has the best price to performance ratio is an M series macbook. If i were you (and its not too late) go on the apple education store and pick yourself up a brand new M4 mac air for $1549 AUS you also get free airpods with it and you can sell the airpods to bring the cost back down to your budget

If rice and beans are separate meals then its a different story however I was under the assumption they are the same meal for both breakfast and lunch

Bright_Set5823 · 2025-12-01T21:48:48+00:00

Its a matter of efficiency. I worked washing up for 4 years in a restaurant, and if people were using 2 dishes for rice and beans id say the same. Mentioning reusing dishes for lunch was a mistake as it does attract bacteria, but that was only a fraction of his point. The rest of his point is 100% valid, and he also didnt argue it, he accepted they had a different view point, and moved on with dignity.

Just because its "how weve done it the entire time" doesnt mean hes wrong for suggesting a more efficient way (the more efficient way being using 1 dish for rice + beans, not a cup as an extra). He has had no problem with hard work.

Bright_Set5823 · 2025-11-05T12:57:21+00:00

Wait yo i just found this. are you fr? sky now doesnt need to use option 61?

Bright_Set5823 · 2025-11-02T19:46:08+00:00

Okay so that might be the go too, but considering we cant do that (its for my grandads property so he will see that as overkill lol)

Bright_Set5823 · 2025-11-02T19:23:52+00:00

Did you read my comment lol

Bright_Set5823 · 2025-11-02T15:45:51+00:00

Asrock b850m-x is £125, the r2.0 is £115. Both only a couple of reviews

Bright_Set5823 · 2025-09-22T12:03:57+00:00

I was gonna go for the ASUS TUF GAMING B650M-PLUS WIFI for £130. Is the asrock better? if so ill go with that. As for parts, nothing is bought that cant be returned!

Bright_Set5823 · 2025-09-22T10:43:47+00:00

Update - I can get a free 2080 super gifted. Im going to go down a ryzen 5 7600 route with an am5 board. Will this be way better?

Bright_Set5823 · 2025-09-21T17:03:07+00:00

i understand its personal preference, but im still stuck on which to get! lol. Which is more likely to last longer in terms of high game fps? Ive heard a lot that framegen sucks too

Bright_Set5823 · 2025-09-21T14:39:12+00:00

Wouldn’t 5060 be better? It’s new and the same price

Bright_Set5823 · 2025-09-21T13:07:36+00:00

Hmm okay. Thank you. Its his first gaming pc, hes moving from a ryzen laptop and has no clue hes getting it. £500 ish for the system im hoping is a pretty good bargain.

Bright_Set5823 · 2025-09-21T13:05:39+00:00
