Avoiding Windows 11
I did the Windows 11 upgrade and a) did not like it and b) discovered it did not work with some older business software used for specialty purposes. So I restored my desktop back to Windows 10. I read the discussion with Jason_D072 and noted in the reply "...if you purchased a computed loaded with Windows 11..." Since I…

I need to roll it back to Windows 10 so that I can get her Canon printer to work. I need to know how to roll it back from Windows 11 to Windows 10. I know windows 10 is going…

How am I supposed to get international service with my extended warranty?
I purchased an extended warranty with international coverage (including accidental damage) for a new system I purchased a few months ago. I'm now overseas and need to get my laptop repaired, but everytime I speak to someone at MicroCenter I'm given different informatoin about how I'm supposed to getting repairs. I've tried…

Power up issue?
Computer will turn on for 3ish seconds then turn off then return on. This will continue until I turn the switch off in the back. So far my solution to when this happens is to just randomly unplug and replug wires in until it works. Anyone else run in to this problem and have a solution for it?

How often do microcenters usually restock their GPU?
I’m looking to get a new GPU (3070) but there’s always out of stock. Curious if they get stock every week or how it usually works. I live about an hour and a half away so I’m tired of getting my hopes up.

Just a reminder to have a backup DP cable.
I just got my 3060 recently and was about return it. My VGA light on my Asus board kept coming on at random times and my monitor would never fully enter power save mode, it would go black but stay on with white lite around the edges. I finally bought a good DP cable 'Vesa Certified' and all my issues are solved.

I'm Bob sometimes known as Natural Bob in music circles.
One year after purchasing my HP Pavilion laptop I'm getting an email saying that my Norton Antivirus subscription was renewed, but we didn't order that. I don't know if calling the phone number will be a way to straighten this out or to get hooked by a phishing scheme. The message is coming from someone named Juvlein Wyatt.

Why is Windows 10 failing to install from USB on a new build?
I put together a new build, and am trying to install Windows 10. I bought the Windows USB installer and am booting from that. AFAICT, everything looks happy and good in the BIOS, and I see all expected hardware reported there. In the BIOS, I have ensured that the USB key is the boot device, it is in EUFI mode, I have…

Sim racing gear
First of I want to thank MicroCenter for starting to stock higher end sim racing gear. My question is, why isn’t any of it displayed in the store? My store is Sharonville Ohio and if you didn’t look online you wouldn’t know they stock simCube, or the higher end rigs just to name a couple things.

My son bought a computer last week at the Denver, CO Micro Center. The computer had hardware defects. After struggling to get someone to help him, on the phone, for THREE DAYS he was finally able to speak to an associate who told him he could return the system for an even exchange or store credit. This is my first issue.…

Reserving GPU
Given how few and far between Micro Center stores are, it seems like it should be possible to reserve a GPU. I realize that people line up before the store opens, but I would venture to guess that an hour after the stores open, those people have gotten what they were waiting for. When you live over two hours away, driving…

My daughters purchased a refurbished HP laptop from Micro Center around February of this year. She tried using it a couple days ago and it wouldn't boot up.

Conference Room Computer
I'm looking for a CPU to be dedicated to our conference room to run video meetings. I don't need a monitor or keyboard necessarily, but something that will allow for 1-7 people to join by video and a presenter and it maintains video (not frozen). It can't be too expensive, but I'm open to some suggestions/ideas. Thank you
