There comes the time in every boy's life when they start paying for the things they use.

Sure thing Wink

I'm the first one who pays for it. However, in his situation with a short budget he can always choose for an alternative till he has the money to pay for it.

And, even better, I never mentioned anything illegal. There're product keys to get a 180 days proof period. That way he can use windows till his budget is enough to fulfill a licence. Thumbup1

You don't happen to own a valid Windows license you could transfer?

But anyway, Skoda raised a very valid point. The costs for the OS license is often ignored, but if you pay 50 pound for a game you play like 30 hours, you surely see the point in paying for an operating system that you gonna use for thousands of hours.

If only all games would run on Linux, it's a shame that powerful companies like Rockstar ain't willing to make them. ETS2 however and many others do, you'd be surprised.

Depends on both of these:
A. You have the install media and key
B. You wont be able to use your laptop because it will be deactivated.

When I built my new PC last April, I could use the same Windows 8.1 key off my old machine, however, when I transferred the license over, it rendered my old PC deactivated. I did this by entering my product key into windows, then it said that key was already in use, but there was an option iirc to phone Windows Activation and place the product ID (NOT key) from the new PC, it then activated my new PC and deactivated my old PC.

However, if you didn't use the internet in any way on your laptop, you could keep the same installation, because the laptop needs to communicate with the internet for it to deactivate itself.

there are windows 10 keys on ebay for around 15 to 20 euro.
You only get the key via email/msg and sometimes get a very small watermark like "education version" on the desktop. this is quite easily removable with google tho.

those are mostly keys that are meant to be for third-world-countries or for preinstalled windows on netbooks and stuff as far as i understood.

seems to be legal(at least in germany) from what i googled.

cant guarantee any of the above. feel free to use google yourself if interested.
all i can say is it worked totally fine for someone i did it.

It could even be a more tricky. They way I understand MS's free-Win10-upgrade-policy, they allow you to upgrade ONE pc to Win 10 using a Win 7 or 8 license.
So, if you move your Win 8 license to another PC, that upgrade-entitlement is gone and you'd have to stick with Win 8.

Case is good.

Need to buy Windows 10? Why no torrent? In UK is dangerous if get Pirate Windows?

You can buy now get PC Parts pack +Win 10 without GTX750Ti to buy later next month save money.

I3 6100 has with Intel® HD Graphics 530.

I3 and GTX750i: TDP (Power consumption) will be 150w max, Idle 45w Think sure about. Epic Eco! Biggrin

**[TC] LowRider** · 2016-02-10, 17:48

i could get the parts for the PC and get windows later ill just brow my mum PC for a bit she wont mined its better then my laptop

**[TC]►Carl◄** · (2024-03-31 08:21)

You could try just putting Win7 onto a USB from your old laptop by downloading it from the internet, then put it onto your new PC? There are programs out there like dazloader that make it appear genuine etc.

You can easily avoid paying for it, there will be tutorials on how to get it installed. Just depends if you want to save the money by putting in a little more work.

The 950 is like a +10£ and, a great performance over the 750 Ti. (90W card)

GT4tube · (This post was last modified: 2016-02-11 09:35 by GT4tube.)

Amazon.co.uk

750Ti is 99£
950 is 129£

it's extra +30£. (i said 110£ 750ti i wrong from poland shop.)

if possible @Lowrider can do save money if like better performance on GTX950 hope 50-60fps on GTA V. (750Ti 35-45fps)

There Ready PC parts pack Confirmed:

Total price: 354£ (750Ti and HDD 3.5" 1TB)
Total price: 368£ (750Ti and SSHD 3.5" 1TB)
Total price: 384£ (950 and HDD 3.5" 1TB)
Total price: 398£ (950 and SSHD 3.5" 1TB)

SSHD A price that makes sense

Example what's about HDD,SSHD,SSD:
OS Windows 7 Loading boot time:
HDD: 1.25min (Clean Windows 40-45sec) -[Slow/lag load website etc]
SSHD: 50-55sec (Clean Windows 25-30sec) -[Nice fast load website etc]
SSD: 20-25sec (Clean Windows 15sec) -[Epic faster load website etc]

GTA V Loading Singleplayer time: (No sure just think about)
HDD: 42s/50s (1x Run), (2x Run 36s/40s) HDD Seagate SV35.
SSHD: 39sec (1x Run), (2x Run 27-30sec) It's was me my SSHD 500gb.
SSD: 27sec (1x Run), 2x no test. think sure be 25s.

You choose HDD or SSHD you do want it. Biggrin

I am good about guide for you. If like that parts! Smile

The 750Ti is a great starter card and can easily manage 60FPS in GTA5, not every single setting has to be on high, my old HD7770 from 2011-2012 with 1GB of VRAM could happily run GTA5 at high (not very high) settings and top 70FPS. The 750Ti is more powerful than the HD7770

Also, its a common myth that Windows slows down overtime, the fact is, unless it has malware or bloatware or the main storage is on the verge on being full, windows does not slow down overtime! Ignore the "clean windows" facts from GT4. Also an SSD does not affect how fast a website loads, HDDs load websites just as fast, it just depends on your internet speeds.

I'm talking from experience from using a HDD and an SSD, all the SSD provides is faster loading times. No extra FPS is gained and they cost ALOT more.

Agree with what Skoda said,

but I think that adding that extra 30£ is well worth it, here's why:
