drmike: No, the line of laptop I use has this weird you have to remove all the screws, pop the sealed cover, remove the hard drive because it's in the way, remove the motherboard, flip it over, put the memory in, and then put it all back.

The video was like 18-19 minutes long.

I just have to sit down and find it one day. Rather not do it when I don't have any funds just in case I break something. Going back from 17" to 14" screen of my old laptop is not something I want to do.

Thank you though for your time
My last try to find that video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tNtkGzqn3k

Well after going back and forth on AMD and Nvidia, deciding on Nvidia, and then going back and forth on buying two cheaper cards and run in SLI or 1 good card alone, decided on the one good card alone and might as well get the best available right now... the 1080ti. So now I'm at $2600. And still not even close to done. LOL. Damn I'm the luckiest man alive. Well I guess I'm getting close to done. Actually I'm not even sure what I'm missing now. Case. CPU Cooler. DVD/Blu ray player. OS. 3 of those are necessary. Might be forgetting something else I dunno. LOL

So far:
CPU:8700K
MB: MSI Gaming Pro Carbon Z370
SSD's: 1 at 500GB and 1 at 1TB
HDD's: 1 Hybrid at 2TB and one really slow and cheap 4TB one strictly for putting my gog collection on. If 4TB isn't enough I'l just add an external later.
Memory: 32GB 3600MHz GSkill RGB memory.
PSU: 1050W Platinum Plus
GPU: Zotack GeForce GTX 1080ti

Regarding OS your only option is Windows 10 since Windows 7 is not officially supported.

Jump to future with that thing. Please let me know how Star Citizen turns out.

Well there's Linux. Except i'm too damned stupid. God I admire all those guys that can do it. Wish one of my nephews did LOL I'd just bug them every time something went wrong.

ADDED IN EDT: Anyone know what the hell the "Supports Virtual Machines" is talking about in Windows Pro??? I mean you can run virtual machines in Windows Home can't you? Or am I totally misunderstanding the term (again... *sigh*).

Wild guess but I believe pro it's a built in features while with home, you need a third party client to do it.

I purposely don't run pro on the laptop and I just do VMs on the linux and FreeBSD machines.

Bitten by a cynic maybe.

I was bitten by a cynic once.

Or was it a spider?

Which one can make silk shoot out of it's ass?

They both can: the spider uses it to catch his prey, the cynic uses it to hold sway (in his own godawful, smelly way).
