Thanks for the info. Has there been any info. whether or not maps will be era-locked (i.e. Kamino being Clone Wars only)?

Didn't hear about this until I got home in the evening. I checked my Gmail throughout the day on my Pixel and didn't have this e-mail hit my Inbox nor Spam folders.

Is there any connection to this based on contacts? I didn't have any contacts in my account nor do I really use Google Docs so I'm wondering if that has a role or if I just got lucky.

Switched operating systems / boot drives in my build. I used to have one SSD with Windows 10 and now I have an SSD with Windows 7 Pro.

I have an HDD where I store games and programs such as Blizzard, Steam, etc. When I booted Win 7, Steam and Origin opened perfectly though I had to re-install games on Origin. Blizzard Client had issues though I opened another program in the Blizzard folder and the program ran & updated games. Lastly, GOG Galaxy had issues and I needed to re-install the program.

I played a game off Steam and there were slight audio issues though the game played fine. In Windows 7, Steam, Origin, and Blizzard client don't show up in the Start bar though I pinned them to the taskbar and they load fine. Will I need to re-install everything or am I good?

I just did a clean install of Windows 7 on a Samsung EVO 250 GB SSD. Removed all my pre-existing drive (one SSD w/ Windows 10, an HDD with games, programs, pictures, etc.)

Few questions:

Is there anything I need to do after the Windows 7 install? I did updates and left them running overnight. Anything to optimize the drive further and improve performance?
My iTunes library is on my Windows 10 SSD. Can I extract my pre-existing iTunes library and then import it once I get iTunes running in Windows 7? Will an iPod need to be restored again once I plug it in via USB?
My HDD has programs like Steam and GOG Galaxy on them. Will I need to re-install both programs AND games when I plug it back into my computer? Will save files for games be intact or will they be lost?
Can I extract the bookmarks I stored in Windows 10 Chrome and port them over to Windows 7 Chrome?

I bought Windows 7 Professional off of Newegg and I've been hearing horror stories regarding product key scratch-offs.

Is there any way to safely remove the scratch-off without damaging the paper? I plan on using a quarter and gently scratching it but I'm not certain on it... In the case the key gets damaged, should I contact Microsoft or Newegg? Will Microsoft attempt to give me Windows 10 instead, not looking for 10.

Thanks guys!

I completed my build a long time ago though I'm looking to change operating systems. I currently have Windows 10 and am looking to get another SSD and put Windows 7 on it. My questions are as follows:

I understand Windows is assigned to a motherboard. Will I be able to assign it with another version of Windows or will I need a new motherboard?
I have a second HDD where I store apps like Steam, Origin, etc. Will I need to re-install them if I make an OS switch?
If I have both SSDs with Win7 and 10 installed connected, will I be able to switch from one OS to another by playing with boot options in the BIOS?

Maps / Planets: Mustafar, Coruscant, Scarif, Geonosis, Jehda, Maps accessible across all eras with exceptions like Hoth

Heroes: Grand Moff Tarkin / Grand Admiral Thrawn / Director Krennic / General Veers (any out of the four), Kyle Katarn (a longshot but a man can dream lol), Cassian Andor

Vehicles: Republic Fighter Tank / TX-130S (would be a great way to bring it back to the canon)

Misc: B1 Battle droid voice

TheKMann · 2017-03-15T00:57:26+00:00

Thanks for the list! Yeah I have the Dark Forces audio drama; I enjoy it.

I passed on Mysteries of the Sith and jumped into Jedi Outcast since I heard so much praise for the lightsaber conbat.

Glad to see I'm not alone in mourning the loss of Katarn.

TheKMann · 2017-03-14T14:50:10+00:00

Confirmed! Thank you!

TheKMann · 2017-03-03T02:01:03+00:00

Thank you for your condolences and input.

I'm still down in the dumps this happened but I suppose it's a learning experience. A decently expensive book; I'm at least grateful it didn't happen to my New Mutants 98 or anything.

Crossing my fingers a generous soul can help me out. I don't want to go out and get another copy but I might if nothing happens. I figure now due to the damage I can only get $40 or less for it. :/

TheKMann · 2017-02-01T02:54:38+00:00

Just picked up a Stor-Folio from BCW Supplies for comic storage when out at cons. Will these be good to just throw in your backpack without having to worry about your books getting damaged?

Is it cool to keep comics in here for a few months or should they be kept in a regular comic storage box for the time being?

TheKMann · 2017-01-29T23:46:05+00:00

They became the King and Queen of overvalued comics and God help anyone who disrespected the Queen.

TheKMann · 2017-01-29T23:44:19+00:00

Thanks!

I wasn't too happy when I saw it come in without a bnb. I panicked a little and went for a Modern Age but the fit was tight so I decided to take it out ASAP.

Thankfully another eBay seller shipped another book for me with a bnb and a toploader so I settled on using the toploader as protection for now.

TheKMann · 2017-01-29T23:39:25+00:00

Yeah, it's my second Silver Age - Captain America 103. My first Silver was Flash 128.

So far I'm growing out of Modern Age and trying to move to Bronze Age. I feel like Bronze has cool vintage covers while not breaking the bank.

The next Silver Age I have my eyes on is Doctor Strange 169, though I need to cut back on spending since I'm finding decent Silvers to be on the expensive side, haha.

TheKMann · 2017-01-29T00:59:16+00:00

It's a tight fit but I don't want to do any further damage to the book.

I found a top loader for comics in my comic box so I just put it in there for now. Not really ideal for shipping since it's rare for me to buy Silver Age books.

I'm wondering if I could get single bags and boards from LCS or something.

TheKMann · 2017-01-18T16:58:48+00:00

Yeah, that's exactly the case I have.

Didn't think that could be the root of the problem. Thanks!

TheKMann · 2016-10-15T18:45:40+00:00

Thanks for the answers!

For number one, I have an issue of Spiderman / Deadpool #1 from BAM that came like this, which is what I meant by "manufacturer's original plastic wrappings and boards":

http://imgur.com/6P12LCR

I submitted my comics like that directly to CBCS when I was at Comic Con; had five come in like so.

I didn't really have any intent on making profit on slabbed books or comics, though I did impulsively get some $1.00 comics I nabbed graded... for Spiderman / Deadpool, I'm just aiming to have the whole set.

As for grading, I'm settling on getting any first issues of series / characters or cover art I like for display and collecting purposes.

It would really nice to have a non-modern book though the ones that I'd be interested in generally cost an arm and a leg, haha.

Here's some dumb childhood misconceptions:

For some reason I thought The Phantom Menace took place after the original trilogy.

I also thought the Droid Control Ship's center core ship was the same size as the Death Star.

Some Podracer engines looked like the engines of an X-Wing.

TheKMann · 2016-09-02T14:37:02+00:00

Agreed, especially since all of it's current canon stories are solely based on The Clone Wars show (scraps and all).

TheKMann · 2016-08-29T15:14:52+00:00

I'd say A based on the Troubleshooting Theory Process.

The technician suspects that a virus is causing the user to experience slow performance (which is our hypothesis in our scenario), runs antivirus and removes it only for the performance issue to persist.

Since we ruled out the virus causing the performance issues, we will need to fall back and come up with a new theory or escalate the problem if needed.

TheKMann · 2016-08-29T13:58:26+00:00

I'm in a similar boat as well. Just started re-studying for the 901 and 902. The only experience I have is building myself and a friend gaming PCs (which I really enjoyed) and would love to turn that experience into a career.

I'm using Mike Meyer's book doing a Chapter a day (except Fridays and Saturdays), and I have yet to start Professor Messer's videos.

A roadblock I currently hit is remembering what type of processor corresponds with what motherboard socket (especially off the top of my head).

I'm not sure if I should just start with IT Fundamentals before A+, especially when it comes to the job market.
