   Still need a case and video card, and a nvme to replace all the outdated ssd's.  Windows and all drivers are up to date, currently installing all misc software.  After that just have to reinstall Steam, GOG, EPIC Games, Origin, Ubisoft, Battlenet and link the games already installed on the nvme.  Then let the gaming begin...

  Thanks Muchly AMD Santa for helping me get a upgraded working system running way sooner than expected.  Currently waiting for free Windows 11 upgrade.

Oh, I think I understand.  You got lucky in Biloix.  Now you get to figure that one out!  I can tell you this.  It happened during our car tour of the south and we ended up in New Orleans on July 4th with the kids, quite a few years back.

Windows 11.png

Woohoo !,

  Thanks again AMD Santa, finally I was able to get my free upgrade to Windows 11 !  The whole reason I needed an upgrade to begin with.  Not sure if anyone else noticed...but my original build, and upgrade for my pc happened in the same month July.  Almost to the day even...how weird is that.

Anyway many thanks, and I will give a complete upgrade/build when I get my new case.

ATM I am using the Original Antec Three Hundred case that has practically zero cable management.  I was going to include a picture from the web, but lol I could not find one.

So I took a picture and edited it so its not the greatest and you can clearly tell its used...
