Thanks so much guys. All else in the system looks fine to me? If something else wasn't configured properly, would the hwinfo/benchmarks show it?

I have hwinfo... ram clock 1054?

Thank you :) (I noticed the RAM isn't configured correctly - listing 2100mhz, mine is 3200) https://www.3dmark.com/3dm/56947443?

Thanks guys. I ran 3dmark Firestrike just out of interest. Do the results look ok for the setup?

What else is there to do, in layman's terms? Once Windows is installed - it's just drivers, isn't it?

Test mode has a watermark though right? Mine has no watermark

🥴 Why didn’t I just pay for the OS again, lol. Damn

Ok, probably. Good idea to start learning any way. Can I just ask before I go over all this, as I have all my work setup done, the upgrade/install to Windows 10 Pro definitely wouldn’t have switched it out of a test version? is there a way to definitively tell it is a test version of the OS?

My version of Windows says 20H2 OS build: 19042.746 Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0

Because I already had paid for a licence of Win 10 Pro which I installed on a Mac via boot camp. I wanted to move away from Apple so bought the PC to both game and work on Ubuntu via WSL2. I just didn’t want to have to pay for the OS twice.

Ah man - so this will limit all cpu power etc? Ok is there a guide anywhere with regard to how to install from scratch? Thanks so much for your help on this

Is there a way to be sure it’s the test windows and not full copy?

Oh man - really? I thought it was a full copy that I just add a licence to?

I am v new to all this though so I am hoping I installed correctly. Not sure how wrong you can go with a GPU install though?

Without as I have my own copy but it was installed - just unlicenced. I added my licence and as it was a pro version of Windows 10 was prompted to upgrade. I ordered without a graphics card as had pre-ordered the 3080 and installed that myself.
