Thank you so much that works

I put a text file in the hard drive and put it into the xbox it didnt make me reformat and when I plugged it back to my PC it didnt make me reformat and the file was still there

That definitely sounds promising

Imma download roblox on it from my xbox and see if the game stays there

Anyone?

It's possible depending on your board as David said. Some motherboards also allow for serial ISP programming of the BIOS without the CPU installed. I have done it using a BusPirate (https://www.adafruit.com/product/237?gclid=CjwKCAiAuoqABhAsEiwAdSkVVKWxKZP4fyH1bEw-_HgTwxLE3-5QaO6dzXKOHa18wphNlW8QeCMqyBoC9wcQAvD_BwE) but you can probably do it with an arduino

No recommendation from the board side as I'm an Intel fan, but I have the NZXT liquid cooler with 120mm rad, works great

I have a X270 ASRock Taichi, Don't have any experience with the x570 model but imagine it's also a good price to performance board.

Thanks everyone, I just installed the old CPU to be on the safer end

I donwloaded roblox and it still works even after I put it on PC mode, upload a file, and put it back in Xbox mode

this is what he said

hopefully you're on pc so you can read it lol

I thought some antivirus softwares did that but maybe not

Sounds like a modied intrusion prevention system (IPS).

yeah it does something with windows internally apparently

Guys, how can I make my NVME a bootable drive?

Don't you just go into the bios at startup and select your boot order? So long as you have your system installed on that drive

That's the thing, the NVME has no boot OS installed

I tried cloning the drive but it deleted 800+GB of the total capacity when I did

Ah shit, you forgot to clone all the partitions.

Well, what you can do is if you have your original drive, reformat your NVME and try again. Make sure you clone all the partitions. You might also try going into drive manager and freeing up the rest of the space on that drive by creating a partition (an unallocated one in this case)

A couple options there for you. What cloning software are you using? Recheck the vids. There's also vids on YT on how to manage your partitions and whatnot

just fresh install and call it a day

First off, if the drive has no boot OS installed you're not going to be able to boot to it. Secondly, if you cloned it will be the exact same size as the drive that you cloned from, you later have to go in and expand the partition table to take up the rest of the space of your larger drive (I'm assuming your new MBME drive is bigger than whatever you clone from). Third, depending on how old your system is, your system may not be able to boot from NVMe drives. However if it's been made in the last five or six years you should have no problem with that.

Did y'all see the new S21's? If I was a betting man I would bet that the S30 is gonna come with the hubble space telescope mounted on front.

Question for y'all: how much ram does your windows 10 use at idle?

Depends on how many programs you have installed

Many like discord, epic games, steam, and origin will run in the background

Sitting at 5.8gb with a bunch of firefox tabs and discord

and steam. 5.5 without steam

Mine uses about 4 idle

With all apps closed bit not with end process.

You are a very rare species. Rarely you will see someone use firefox in 2021

i use Pale Moon + Chrome for schoolwork

nah bro it's got all my extensions and it's not google or microsoft based

and on my laptop i managed to pare down windows 10 to only using 800MB at idle, with nothing running

I mean it still runs on "chrome" api or whatever I guess

no it doesnt, firefox uses its own engine

oh ok, good

its one of the last holdouts from chromium
