BitMaster Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Once you have "installed & upgraded" from your 7 you can try if that works, if not, BLANK the drive and reinstall 10 from a USB drive ( tool available at MS, google it ). YOu do NOT need a serial number to do this, MS takes note of your hardware and will allow it to be automatically activated once installed. It pays to bind your 10-lic to your hotmail account, for that you need to log-in to 10 with your hotmail account. Once 10 is installed, 10 will ask you to do this. Once you logged in a few times you can go back to local log-in. Your 10 lic is then attached to your account and can be used on other hardware once this fails ( aka bad motherboard or changed hardware like GPU&SSD upgrade ! ).

hansangb Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Also, I"m assuming a bad drive has been ruled out? That can slow you down considerably, no? And use UEFI instead of MBR. That too has to be chosen before the OS is installed. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BitMaster Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 you WILL NEED TO do the UPGRADE from your 7 first to obtain the FREE license ! If you wipe the drive and start from scratch you will likely end with a 10 that cannot activate for free. Do the UPGRADE FROM 7, then bind that install with a MS-Hotmail account ( for free ). Then you can wipe any drive and do it from scratch. MS knows your HW fingerprint and will activate your install automaically. Unfortunately MS does not grand you a license without actually installing it anymore by only applying on their site, that worked during the official upgrade time offer but not anymore. Now you have to install it from this website I gave you. If all went wrong and you wiped the drive...could well be that you need 7 again installed and activated...and go to that site again and upgrade...:( Sh&%$ Happens Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Asus 1080ti EK-waterblock - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus PG278Q 27" QHD Gsync 144Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jctrnacty Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Jester, i saw your CPU temps and voltage, u should definitely lower it down, 88 is too much, CPU begins to throttle, your temps should be around 60-70. U will see after reinstall if everything is ok. MY advice, use stock clocks on your 7700k and then just overclock with the same default voltage. If its stable and fast enough with low temepratures, leave it that way. 88 C is too high for CPU.

Low level flight in built up areas on nttr and Normandy, I'm getting like 100 fps and anything up to 180 fps normally. 4k dcs is glorious.
