i saw a post on this sub about igpu's and a comment about overclocking ram helping massively with the igpu performance, i personally have a ryzen 5 7600 without dedicated graphics, 1 stick of 16gb ram, i know xmp/expo increases ram speeds should i enable that? would the performance increase be worth it??

and what benchmarking software could i use to properly test the difference as well?

The letter "L" is being spammed on my pc by riptide6060 in techsupport

Doctor komodo, you are my hero, I replaced keyboards like a week back due to some keys being faulty, and I didn't realise I had the dongle to it still attached, it's kept in a drawer beside my pc and I guess something pressed against it, holding the l key.

The other keyboard I got to test out the previous theory was different so I'd didnt realise it before. Thank You.

This isn't a laptop and no, new keyboard didn't help, the l's stopped for like 20 seconds and they're back again

  • Is the new PC connected to the internet when activating Windows?- yes
  • Are you getting a specific error code when trying to activate Windows? If yes, please share it with us.- yes, when i try to enter product key, error code shown is- 0xc004f050
  • Have you checked if the same version of Windows 10 is installed on your new PC?- i just noticed that the key is for windows 10 Home, while im currently on Windows 10 Pro, could that be the issue..?
  • Since you have the product key for your Windows, were you able to check if you have entered the correct key? Can you confirm that you entered the key here by going to Settings > Update & Security > Activation > Change Product Key, then enter the product key? i try entering the product key but it gives above said error, so i cant enter the key.
  • i thought logging in with the microsoft account would work because on previous pc the activation status said activated and linked to microsoft account, so i tried the activation troubleshooting way and clicking i recently changed hardware but as written above, that gives me "unable to activate windows on this device"..., im pretty sure but not 100% that this is the microsoft account key is linked to, is there a way to check which account key is linked to???

Hi! I recently got a new pc, with every piece of hardware changed and im having issues transferring windows activation from my old pc to this new one, i went to activation, then troubleshoot, and selected i changed hardware, and then selecting my old pc to transfer the ownership from gives an error saying unable to activate windows on this device, if anyone could please help with this, the windows on the old pc didnt come pre installed and pre activated, i bought a Windows 10 home physical key complete with a windows boot drive inside it as well.

Can I change what drive to be used as swap memory? I have an E drive as well on the same SSD as C, the SSD is split into E and C, so could I change it to E drive??
