I’ve decided to replace the hard drive. I’m just not ready to give up that much money as my bank account hasn’t been this black in a long time. My son has a copy of windows 10 that I can use. Now I just have to figure out which hard drive to buy. I do play other games besides call of duty, but I haven’t been able to in a long time because of my computer issues. Any advice on which hard drive to buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

This might sound funny Janey but if you have an old computer it needs to be compatible, @J3st3r will give you some tips I'm sure, I will too if you want, the connectors are the bits we need to know, in fact some will have old hard drives lying around for sure, wipe the porn and send to Janey boys.

Leave the porn on it... LOL. I think I found a hard drive that I’m going to purchase. Now the only issue I have is getting an operating system on it. I have access to a windows 10 key, but I don’t have the install disc. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/wd-desktop-everyday-4tb-internal-sata-hard-drive-for-desktops/9026007.p?skuId=9026007&ref=212&loc=1&ref=212&loc=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw17n1BRDEARIsAFDHFeylFacV7sxMp6GxFwttIVugxkwja52_k-aS6PaVnT5toIh_ErcVLSsaAqCYEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Angelz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can either burn it to DVD or use a 8gb or larger thumb drive. Thumb drive is the easiest. It takes me about 15 minutes to download and create a bootable USB drive. Pretty simple to do if you follow the instructions. You can put Windows 10 on any computer as long as you have a Windows 7, windows 8, windows 8.1 or windows 10 product key. It will activate automatically as soon as it connects to the internet the 1st time. If it doesn't automatically activate there are ways around that as well. I won't go into the specifics here. Lets just say that they have questionable legality. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

That would simply put you on a default screen of the motherboard, where it shows things like the amount of RAM, the type of processor, the versions of things, and a warning about you needing to select a viable boot medium. Power button sounds more reasonable than the hard disk being pooped from the description, honestly... It's likely better economics to have someone with basic IT skills look over the machine and determine what's really broke. Worst case scenario, if the power supply and video card are newish, buying the bits and putting them together for a PC that just has to play COD4 and COD5 should be on the nice side of $500 even with current hardware prices. mainboard, cpu and ram Can you get into the BIOS / UEFI config screen? Usually when you turn it on it flashes a message saying press (your key here) to get into UEFI or "configuration" or BIOS or "boot-up options" or similar. If you can open the configuration that way you can see if it is able to find the disk, and you can turn off the "quick boot" so it doesn't just flash past any useful warnings. If you can't even get this far, the problem is far morelikely to be mainboard or power supply and buying a new hard drive just throws good money out the window.
