Re: [MBZ] OT - Win10 Va Win 7

I've bought SSDs that were thin, with plastic spacers to make them thick. If you need the thickness to make the connectors line up, leave the spacer on. If your drive bay is thin, or if the drive is screwed from the side and thickness doesn't matter, you can remove the spacer. Mitch. > On

Re: [MBZ] OT - Win10 Va Win 7

Right, and there are similar drive sleds to put a 2.5" drive in a laptop dvd slot.   In my case, the dvd was no good anyway, so using that space for a second drive was an easy choice. I bought mine from OWC. (Macsales.com) It came with all the specialized tools needed. Scott Ritchey via

When I did mine, I got a drive bay adapter to put a drive int he dvd space.  THen I had a spinning HDD, and the SSD.  It was off and running is a short time, but I had maybe 100 gb on the disk. Scott Ritchey via Mercedes December 28, 2019 at 12:00 PM Assuming

Larry, I pass on to you what I've told before. I have two old Dell Vostros with Dual Core processors. They were originally 4mb memory which Dell said couldn't be upgraded because they never certified it as well as not certifying Win10. I upgraded both to Win10 back in 2016, I think, first

Re: [MBZ] OT - Win10 Va Win 7

Windows 10 is a good bit different than Windows 7. I prefer Windows 10. In fact, as a Mac user for about 10 years, Windows 10 is the first version of Windows I find acceptable to use. I am not sure I will purchase another Mac. I think Microsoft has really stepped up their game and Apple has

That is all I saw when M$ "killed XP"   I'm still running xp with avast.   I've seen no problems, but then I don't receive email, so no phishing on any xp machine.   It would have to be a hard targeted hack, and no reason for anyone to do that. Craig via Mercedes

THe propaganda when Los10 was new was that it would make older machines run faster.  I doubt it is true now as they continue to add layers of patches and bloatware. Most the type and generation of processor, speed, and amount of RAM and the brains here can help more. Larry Turner via
