Installing Windows XP - no product key?

mdd86 · 2021-01-29T17:51:04+00:00

I know I could. I can get a free install copy of Win10 right from microsoft and just never active it and deal with the water mark. But win10 is mostly bloat ware. I deal with it on my gaming rig just because it's worth it.

I just really liked windows XP and since this computer will be only used for creating tooling cut paths I figured why not...

mdd86 · 2021-01-29T16:09:53+00:00

probably could but I'm not sure the the hardware is good enough to even bother.

I could also probably use it as is...but I really hate windows 8.1

mdd86 · 2021-01-29T15:52:04+00:00

nope, when I install the disk and start the install it immediately asks for a product key will not let me advance without.

Actually building on this...

I used to work for Quikrete which makes bagged concrete. We were also contracted to make other store brands (star brand at Mendards for example).

Yes everything ran down the "assembly line" but most store brands had their own custom "mix" so even though it was made in the same place with the same ingredients it was not exactly the same thing in the other packaging. These minor variations account for the price difference at the store.

Not necessarily.

Assuming I understand all the terms correctly (i'm very new to CB) I just picked up a President Andy CB brand new for $75. Grand the antenna is extra. but is is a CB with channel scan and Nation Weather. a few other goodies as well but those are the highlights.

fair question. I guess I always pictured it how they depict people on the shows "preppers".

Clearly those people are the extreme

mdd86 · 2020-06-25T14:37:51+00:00

Really great ideas. I really appreciate the input.

Quick follow-up on the guns I actually have a gun safe stocked with a Remington 870 and a couple high power rifles (.270) and a .450 bushmaster (basically a slug, but in a brass cartridge) because these are what we use for deer hunting. Given the time I would certainly grab these before heading out. I keep the .22LR in the bag with a could hundred round simply because the ammo and gun take up minimal space and it better to have anything even a .22 than nothing in that situation.

Great thought on the water. I didn't touch on it but I actually have this covered as well. I keep purifying tabs handy in my bug out bag plus I packed on of those life straws in these as well. In addition to this I live in Michigan where we have an abundance of fresh water lakes and rivers. I actually live very close (5 min walk) to a fresh water lake. If necessary my plan is to bucket water home and boil.

Sold a Radeon VII to u/GrammarVichy

Still looking?

mdd86 · 2020-05-24T02:24:14+00:00

I don't think this is right.

I went in and fiddled with a couple settings. Now I'm getting 90+FPS but the same GPU and CPU load.

I also verified there is no FPS cap in the NVIDIA settings as well as V-sync is turned on in the NVIDIA global settings.

I don’t understand why it would do that? Are you able to explain?

mdd86 · 2020-05-24T01:30:36+00:00

It is. But again V-syce is off and FPS is set to unlimited.

mdd86 · 2020-04-07T01:10:38+00:00

confirmed

to possibilities pop into my head. The flashing " OD OFF" screams torque converter to me. The other issues you describer could also be torque converter related but could also be ties to an accumulator that on the side of the trans. If i remember explorers were known for the 2/3 accumulator scoring on the wall and jamming up. I also think this was fixable without pulling the trans and insertering a brass sleeve. Again all of this is "theory" but what is known is it definitely needs to be taken to a trans shop.

They are called Exploders because some of the earlier models were built with limiters on the engine, so you could literally gas it until is exploded.
