One more PC upgrade
This one was newer, and only needed a new CPU to be upgradable. I doubled its RAM too though as I had some spare
I fucked up though because I forgot the BIOS needed an update before it could recognise the new CPU... I put it straight in then had to take it out again lol
And learned that AMD sockets have "zero force" and the CPU game out glued to the cooler 💀
Apparently that happens a lot. I didn't bend any pins and I managed to separate it by heating the whole thing up with a hair dryer
The bios update was good, it had a shiny new splash screen after, I swapped the CPU again
And now it's just needs some space for windows 11. Like my other one, it has a tiny and completely full C drive. This one belongs to Greg and he's said he wants a new m.2 like I considered to put windows 11 on. I need to check leaving the old one in there won't cause problems. But it should be fine
It did post but wouldn't output a picture to HDMI at first, I had to haul it upstairs to plug it into a monitor over Displayport/VGA then after doing that once and doing bios setup it was fine with HDMI again
