After 10 years of faithful service, the ASUS Z87M-Plus motherboard on my first desktop PC from PC Specialist has failed :cry:. It had an Intel Corei5 Quad Core Processor i5-4670 (3.4 GHz) 6MB Cache. It's 1st drive was a 120GB Kingston V300 SSD, SATA 6GB (450 MB/R) and its 2nd hard disk was 1TB...
Hi again Oussebon and Ubuysa! I am so pleased to say that following your ever so helpful guidance, I managed to do a successful custom install of Windows 10 today using the Windows 7 key, which was helpfully on a sticker on the back of the pc. :giggle: I am so grateful to you both! 🤩 If it...

Thank you very much OUSSEBON for that really helpful reply. I will look into this for my own pc as I've been thinking I'd need to buy a new pc. I think I currently just about have enough spare space needed to upgrade to windows 10.
Sadly we don't seem to have the right level of IT know how to...
