What I suggest is if you have spares (or can manage ones for some time) like PSU & storage, build the same PC outside of cabinet first. Test it out if it really works then install Windows 10, get the first-hand experience and then decide. So even with Windows 10 you may not get a good computing...

You need to decide why you wish to revive your old PC. Is it sheer enthusiasm or you actually plan to use it for whatever term it works! Since your existing HW is too old, dates back to 2009~2011 it may or may not last longer. So you can consider buying inferior parts. Any basic ATX cabinet with...

I am referring to the WiFi PCIe (x1) card that you plan to buy. Not the GPU. GPU stays wherever it already is. PCIe x1 can be installed in x16 slot. This x16 slot is fully backward compatible with x1. Just that rest of the space and lanes go waste. This is an alternative only if you find that...

The expansion slots are generally standard size and spacing as per the ATX specs. The GPU extends to second slot on the component side not PCB backside. So there should be no difficulty in installing that pcie card into the very first x1 slot. Despite if there are issues or you feel things are...

I have not checked the components...this is a general suggestion. HDD performance (assuming all are SATA III) is somewhat based on Disk RPM (5400, 7200 RPM etc) & Cache size. Higher the better. I always prefer 2.5” as they run cooler but are generally 5400 RPM If the cabinet does not have...

Don't know much about this brand...but could try calling up their office contact number as mentioned on *kbccomputech.com/contact-us/ and see if they respond. 011-41617342 | 011-26417342

You do not even need a Power Button!! All you need to do to power on desktop PC is to short the PWR Pins on mobo by a metallic object like a small screwdriver for just a moment and PC will power on!! That's what I do when I build a PC brand new outside of cabinet first! Assuming - PSU & Mobo...

Both Power & Reset button on the case are Momentary switches. They momentarily short or connect the part of the circuit and the circuit interprets it to change from the previous state as appropriate, e.g from ON to OFF or OFF to ON. Most mobos show + & - for RST & PWR Pins on F_PANEL connector...

WD-40 Contact cleaner is a great product. Apart from electricals and electronics, I also use it sometimes to clean the dirt and oil deposits on metallic objects like door lock handle!!

This could be either button issue or even mobo issue. If it’s button issue and if there’s a Reset button, just internally swap the cables going to mobo, so that you plug Reset wire into Power ON pins on mobo and can continue to use the cabinet as usual. Just user Reset button to power on. Basic...

Don't know about the phone but at least they have mentioned detailed tech specs on their website. I like that. Many Indian companies manufacturing consumer electronic products have poorly written or no specs / user manuals etc listed on their websites. Requesting for info on their email ids or...

Build 52 has fixed this issue now. This goes on. Youtube blocks it and IDM cracks it, it seems!!

This is a general experience sharing... Most of my pen drives are from SanDisk/Transcend. However, I needed a 128GB pen drive for occasional use and in this Amazon sell I decided to check out DigiTek pen drive. *www.digitek.net.in/ This purchase was totally experimental!! DUD 128 GB USB...

At present even with latest IDM build 51, Youtube is refusing to allow IDM to download videos. Let's see when IDM comes up with next patch! Media Human YT downloader is as of now working fine!

I have an Inverter but it comes into picture only when mains is cut off. Inverter when started supplies 230V but mains by default is 250V. So when there's power, Inverter bypasses its circuit and continues to route mains line which is still 250V. Yes all my TV, Computer, printer etc connect to...
