Questions on switching hard drives

Hello everyone,

I don't know if this is the correct sub for this but I do think it is the closest I am going to get. I currently have a Windows 8 gaming build with a single 1TB hard drive. I have recently subbed to a video game matchmaking service (CS:GO - ESEA) that has very intrusive anti-cheat. It scans your system, RAM, browser use, etc from as long as your computer is running (the client can be closed but it still scans). This is not ok on my system that has personal info and such. What I plan on doing about this is to take a second hard drive I had laying around (Windows 7) and download the ESEA client and my gaming-only programs onto it. I plan to switch my drives everytime I play this game. So my questions:

  1. Will this damage my computer in any way to constantly be unplugging and plugging in these drives?

  2. Is there a way to format my drive while keeping windows 7 on it?

  3. Any other alternatives to this system?

Thanks, Mannaboi

Edit: 4. Also, are there any flaws I may be missing in this system?

certain keys on my keyboard dont work when "cold"

Hi guys, i have a Lenovo Y520-15IKBN (80WK) and certain keys on the keyboard don't work (e,g,h,8,9,Fn...) but only when the weather is cold. for example in the winter it used to work after certain amount of time when i first boot the laptop and stops working when i stop using it for a while, but now that the weather is hot it works just fine except for the first couple of minutes or when its colder. of course i do realise that it has nothing to do with the outside weather but with the temperature of the computer itself. can someone explain to me why this is happening and how it should be fixed as i cannot take it to the tech service until july even though it's still under warranty because i need it for school. ps: an external keyboard works fine.

Old PC with a Foxconn n15235 motherboard needs drivers! Help!!

So my Pc corrupted and I had to fresh install windows on it, but now its missing 3 drivers and one of them is for the Ethernet controller! I've tried searching everywhere for the windows 7 drivers but all I seem to find are some dodgey programs saying they will install it for me. Problem is without the ethernet driver I can't bloody connect to the internet. I've been using a USB to try get some drivers on there, but they just end up being useless programmes . I'm also a bit of a noob at these things, I don't understand where to find the names of things in my PC, I've opened it up but I don't understand whats significant and what isnt. If someone has the drivers and can teach me how to install them I'd be very appreciative! Submitted April 29, 2018 at 02:47PM by darrilsteady https://ift.tt/2r76xMZ
