Trying to add an SSD to my PC that runs on HDD. Plugged in SSD, turned on computer, nothing happened!

Not sure what to do here. I added the SATA to the mobo/SSD and placed it somewhere in the computer. I added the PSU cable to the SSD. Nice!

Then I turn on my PC. I want to install Windows 10 (running win7 on my HDD) on my SSD. However, turning it on just runs win7 on my HDD and when I go to MY COMPUTER, it doesn't show my SSD anywhere. I have a USB stick that should have win10 on it since I used MediaCreationTool to add win10 to it.

Confused. i have a gigabyte mobo if that helps. Goal is to run OS and most programs from SSD, with my HDD still there for data and maybe other programs as backup.

My HDD is Disk0 with partitions C and D (C is OS, D is everything else). In Disk management, I saw my SSD as Disk1 and initialized it. it is now Drive B.

Should I switch my SSD to C and then the HDD to some other letters? will that cause trouble? how would I do that?

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
