QUOTE(maggot05 @ Jan 13 2013, 10:38 PM) guys I have a few questions.. 1. you can ask the shop first if they can do the upgrade to Win7 Home Premium or anything that you want... other than that, you can also by it seperately from other shop (pretty much most of computer shop sells OS as well) or else, you can check the Garage Sales.basically I am planning to get the y580 the full HD, DVD writer, 500gb HDD model cuz it starts at 2700 1... I want to upgrade ram to 16gb. its cost about 200rm to do that so its worth it I suppose. only problem is that now most of this model comes with windows 8. I dont want that. I want windows 7 and the problem with that is that this model comes with home basic whic is not compatible with 16gb ram. what do I do ? I do not want the i7 3610 model. do you know how I can get windows 7 premium, professional or ultimate ? is there any seller here who is actually doing that ? 2.. I also want to upgrade to SSD. either I get an msata and keep the HDD inside or I replace the HDD with a 2.5" SSD. msata does not seem to be a viable option at the moment as it is much more expensive perGB in malaysia and also the R/W speeds are much less compared to sata 3 SSD. now I just want o know that when I do get one, how easy is it to transfer the OS to the SSD? is it a pain to do this ? can I do it by my self? will that void my warranty? (though I dont think it should) 3.. current owners.. how do you find this machine ? is it worth the price? I currently use a second generation i5 with 8gb ram. and I work on autodesk maya.. this is the only laptop I found in my budget that seemed like a worthwhile upgrade (on paper). how is it to use though? I ask because once I make this choice I plan to be stuck with it for atleast the next 2-3 years. I dont wanna USE a PC for now 2. Upon receiving your laptop, create an image using disk imaging software and you can restore it into your SSD later... totally doable on your own... though I'm not sure if it's possible to do it with supplied recovery software... 3. I'm using it, with 8GB RAM... I'm moving from a desktop with i7-2600K and GTX560... for me, this is a good replacement... not exactly an upgrade but a very good replacement.... having the same capability with very good pricetag... though, don't be surprise with the heat... it's a laptop, not a desktop... I can't ask anything more from this laptop with that price... QUOTE(Fawkes @ Jan 14 2013, 01:49 AM) I'm facing the same problem on all 3 browsers that I'm using, Firefox, Chrome and IE. Open task manager and check your resource utilization... I assumed all are running on desktop, not metro... |

Hmm, I suspect it has something to do with Avast, tried and google around and it is indeed due to that. Anyone else faces this problem as well? Can't seem to find the solution yet. |

Hi anyone know how to use Paragon Migrate OS to SSD ? i have a crucial m4 ssd on hand. if i plug out hdd from its original place and place into optical drive place(ODD is useless to me). then insert ssd to hdd place. can windows boot from hdd plugged into optical drive place ?
If can, then i will format the ssd into ntfs format through OS from hdd. and use paragon migrate os to ssd to transfer the os. After that, off windows. and change bios boot sequence to ssd. after entering ssd os, reformat the hdd to be used as storage only. Are these steps correct ? |
