Normally you'd install windows once, then install it a second time, and the installer automatically detects the existing windows and handles setting up dual boot. One option I'd look into is the startup repair option since that generally covers the boot sector stuff.
Nevermind, I found it, it was an option under the boot option where I was able to put the SSD as boot #1 Now the problem is the newly cloned OS works the first time it's booted, but when I restart, it shows that my OS is not genuine since I used daz bootloader. I cloned 3 times already, trying different things to no avail. The first and second time I cloned it was actually genuine even when I restarted, but showed not genuine when I shut down. Any ideas how this can be circumvented?
Before I go and format my computer, I first need to figure out whether there's a problem with my computer, my keyboard, or my Internet. When I play SC2, I notice my keystrokes are sometimes lagged and it doesn't register with the game for a half a second to a second or it's completely missed like I never hit a key on the keyboard or clicked with the mouse to begin with. Other times, I'll click build a building and it'll act like I'm playing from NA to KR server, so it's likd there's a ping delay. HOWEVER according to SC2, my ping is usually 50ms and below. I've never seen it spike anymore either.
I've tested a long time ago by connecting my computer directly to the modem via an ethernet cable and faced the same issues, so I'm fairly sure it's not my router acting up. I don't have any issues when I play other online games like CS:GO either.
Right now google is not working in my computer's Chrome browser. ie: Going to google.com results in the following. Same for if I just type a search term in my url and hit enter since it defaults to google search. I can go to bing.com and search so internet is working. I can also open google.com just fine in Firefox and IE and use it there.
I'm wondering if this is related to my internet setup. I recently switched providers to Spectrum cable. It works great mostly, but occasionally it stops working and after I reset the modem and router it works fine. I have a hard-wired connection thru the router. I think this strange issue happens after I restart the modem/router (not sure if only one would need to be reset, I have just been unplugging both their power cables for a second and then plugging them back in, anecdotally (was watching something for an hour and the internet didn't return the whole time) it appears that the internet will not restore itself without intervention.)
If I restart my computer the problem with google not working in chrome issue goes away, but I am still curious about it.
Any ideas?
edit: Google is now working in Chrome again without me restarting the computer. However, the period this behavior was observed was perhaps 10-15 minutes so still curious, mainly because I wonder if it could be linked to why my internet goes out occasionally (maybe twice a week.)
All the videos and articles I've read about ax wifi are not very technical, and I'm trying to understand how their maximum theoretical figure is obtained.
In AC, the maximum bandwidth in a commercial transmitter/receiver is 2167Mhz in a 5Ghz band. 4 MIMO channels, 80Mhz wide with a 400ns guard interval, MCS 11 (1024-QAM specifically) with 5/6 coding rate.
And each 5Ghz channel is specced to 4804Mbps, and each 2.4Ghz channel at 1148Mbps.
-Increase of 11.5% on the 2.4Ghz band -Increase of 222% on the 5Ghz band.
The 5Ghz band seems like a bit of a scam (correct me if I'm wrong), as it looks like they are using 4 160Mhz bands, but pretty sure the band is still the same, so at most you have 2 160Mhz that can even be used, so a 4x4 MIMO wouldn't be possible. If we use the 80Mhz bands, that would cut the speed to 2400Mbps.
Now we're at a much more similar 10.8% performance improvement (2400/2167), but ax uses 800ns guard intervals rather than 400ns, so need to correct for those. If the ac was using 800ns bands, it'd have a theoretical throughput of 1950Mbps, so now we're at 2400/1950... 23.1% performance improvement.
Now an interesting observation is that the 23.1% performance improvement is double the 11.5% performance improvement of the 2.4Ghz band, but now I'm stuck, how is this performance improvement realized?
Even with a coding rate of 1 you'd be only able to get 20% performance more, and just by looking at the technical improvements between the two here:
OFDMA and 1024-QAM are responsible for most of the improvements. It's basically all spectral efficiency improvements, making the most out of existing bandwidth.

Well 1024-QAM was available already (though not officially in the 11ac standard), but it's how the AC5300/5400 routers existed (1000Mbps on 2.4Ghz, 2x2167Mbps on 5Ghz using a tri-band router).
I understood that OFDMA only improves speeds when multiple users access the channel at once, as it can more efficiently split the spatial stream, but if there's only one user, it'd be the same speed.
However, in this video (start at 3:12~), ASUS achieves a 2620Mbps throughput between two of it's RT-AX88U routers, and claims that it'd only be 1100Mbps if done on an 11ac network. Now this one has me really stumped, as there's no physical way that 11ac can carry more than 2167Mbps with any commercial specs we've seen (and that's a theoretical number, usually quite higher than reality).
So unless they played some tricks on us, there seems to be some truth to the 4804Mbps figure quoted, but anyone have any idea of how this can be achieved?
Every time I open a Twitch stream there is an extension blocking my view of the stream. I went into the settings and toggled visibility of the extension to off, and yet every time I load a stream it's there again and visibility has been toggled back to on. Is there any trick to getting these extensions to stop blocking my view of the stream?

i have the same problem. I am so annoyed by those that I am even willing to install a chrome extension to prevent these.

Have you tried using the dedicated desktop twitch app ?

I think the whole point is that we want to watch it in the browser, without logging in, and without the irritating overlays continuously popping.
I also realize that is probably not in Twitch's best interest that we do so, because they monetize things like warchests and whatnots. That said, it is extremely irritating.

There's a pop-up that asks you to connect a battle.net account and buy a war chest to get war chest exp from watching streams (not all of them, but currently live streams that have the ability to do so enabled)
Ok so i made the jump and replaced my old R9 290X with a strix 1070ti. It's the first time in 20 years that i do not buy an AMD card and i already can see why...
So every now and then (3 times since yesterday when i got the card) i get crashes. Black screen for a few seconds then :
NVIDA Windows Kernel mode Driver 418.91 was not responding.
This is the latest driver, the card is brand new from yesterday.
Try driver 417 after running DDU. I haven't personally had any issue in the last few days on 418.91 but newer major driver versions are a bit more prone to odd crashes than older and more refined ones.
If that doesn't work, try 100mhz underclock on GPU core and VRAM. The graphics card partners (Asus in this case) often apply fairly aggressive overclocks which are not properly tested or stable; if this fixes it, it's obvious that it's the problem.
Well... i am really not a fan of Strix but every possible website i was on told that this was the best 1070ti (and i couldn't afford a 1080).
- What's "DDU" ? - How do i underclock ? I have never been using an nvidia card since my first voodoo card.
When it's crashing ? Mostly internet browsing. I was coding my Wow guild website and doing refreshes for example. Or just browsing tl. Happened once also when i started occulus home but... it's pretty random. Didn't happen today for example.
He's referring to Display Driver Uninstaller, to ensure the newer Nvidia driver is actually gone before you install 417.
For under/overclocking I'd recommend MSI Afterburner. Personally I've never had a card crash on me during regular desktop usage without overclocks at all. If the older driver doesn't work and there's nothing obvious wrong that you can fix yourself (e.g. some harsh factory overclock) returning is likely your best bet.
Regarding Nvidia drivers in general I used to update them asap a few years back, these days I just update them when I have an actual issue that an update is supposed to fix. Had it a couple times now that the latest driver made things worse for e.g. newly released games and such.
