Vy chou, instalujte Win 7 Profesional v slovensku. Výše uvedeného součástu je COEM, a ne byste mohli aktivovat instalaci s OEM licenci.
The license should function properly with identical Windows editions (Home, Pro, Ultimate, Enterprise).
I'm preparing to enhance my uncle's old computer and will need to set up a fresh Windows version since we're updating the MBO configuration. He prefers Windows 7 because it's familiar to him.
I'm not sorry, but I haven't heard of Coem. Still, I think trying to activate it with your license should work, even if it might seem confusing. The extra cost likely doesn't matter much and is probably just there to mislead people. There might be software that doesn't support Windows 10, but if you don't have any apps needing Windows 7 and won't run on Windows 10, go with Windows 10. If you dislike telemetry and bloat, use Windows 10 LTS. For a Windows 7 look or features, consider modifications like ClassicShell that bring back the old Windows Home menu.
I wasn’t really looking to set up Windows 10 since I don’t have much experience with it. Installing Windows 7 would be simpler than trying to make it look like Windows 7 by downloading extra programs, and I prefer avoiding any compatibility issues because most of my system is from before 2008 except the GPU.
we are upgrading from 4gb 666mhz to 8gb 800mhz ddr2, from gt430 1gb to zotac gtx 960 2gb the new mbo is I believe ASUS P5K SE, we are reusing the Core 2 Quad Q8400, psu, case, and 512gb hdd, it is an old HP compaq from around 2008
P5k isn't terrible though; it's just that bios might have hit a snag. I’d go with a ch341a and switch it into a P5k Pro. I’m okay with building a modbios using Maximus II, and the Ebb Quad performance isn’t great for FSB setups. Once the BIOS works, expect around 450 FPS. At 1.3v clock speeds, it should hit roughly 4GHz—probably close to what the chip can do if it’s not too damaged. If it is, you might end up with about 3.6 to 3.8GHz depending on your setup. Honestly, the low multiplier means you’ll likely cap around 3.6-3.8GHz. That’s a lot less money saved compared to just swapping the CPU, RAM, and GPU. You’d be better off focusing on a cheaper i5 (750/760 or Xeon X3440-70) plus decent RAM, which would let you run games smoothly without needing a top-tier GPU. If you’re lucky, you could even get a used 2500k/2600k+P67/Z68/Z77 board for around 4.8GHz or a solid X58 with an i7 or XW6 core for 4.2-4.6GHz. That would really beat the C2Q, especially if you push it. For GPUs, a used RX 570/580 with 4GB should work for about $30-40 depending on your region—giving you performance close to a GTX 1060, which will struggle against an older C2Q. If you manage to get the right board under $50, it’ll be a solid upgrade.
