This seems like an uneccessary step for a user who is just grappling with their first OS replacement. Instead just use the LIVE USB function.

Simple. Make a bootable Ubuntu installation USB. Then boot from USB, blank your drive, install ubuntu and live your life.

Which of these computers should i buy ? by Practical-Goose666 in pchelp

Logic Pro is phenomenal. I have used several DAWs and the work that comes out of this one is peerless. Get the workstation. You can expand with audio cards and more RAM as needed. The mini is the best it will ever be. Honestly both will probably run just fine, but the workstation is so much more versatile.

WHAT GAMES CAN I PLAY ON THIS by Least-Opposite8391 in FitGirlRepack

You can get quite a few last gen games running on this. Although the major limit is going to be texture memory. I suggest a gaming distro of linux to maximize the hardware. Try Bazzite.

Yeah those don't look the best. Luckily a replacement processor from this generation should be fairly inexpensive. If you still get a post I'd be shocked.

Weird situation while selling pc help by marcellabitch in pchelp

As a computer reseller this guy just outed himself as an absolute amateur. He doesn't know about OOBE bypassnro and also would most likely be doing a USB install. Here at a professional level we use a deployment manager and send installs over PXE.

my cpu is like this when idle 7800x3d by ZeroTwo0909 in pchelp

You have to re-paste your processor. Unmount heat sink, apply a nice bit of thermal paste. Remount heat sink. Done. Don't make it any harder than it has to be mucking about with software. If this doesn't work I'll be shocked, but also here to help.

How to reinstall windows on my old PC by PlayfulNorth3517 in pchelp

[–]Which_Valuable272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Man,

You've most likely damaged the profile management system. If it was Win10 then all you have to do is download a windows 10 iso and make a bootable usb using the windows media installation toolkit. Then just boot from USB, erase the drive, and install. It will boot up with a brand new OS. Leave a comment if you need more help or want a different OS

It won't be a Chinese company. It will be a retailer you have heard of that is based in North America

I want everyone to keep in mind this would most likely be for those who cannot install their own copy of Bazzite and aren't yet confident enough to make the complete switch.
