I live over an hour away and need help! Mayfield Heights OH store?
So the site says that more popular items may not have proper numbers online and you need to go to the store to find out stock. When I live over an hour away it’s pretty frustrating to drive that far to possibly be disappointed. How can I actually talk to an employee at that store to know if they have a certain GPU?

How can I encrypt my PowerSpec G223 ?
I have a Powerspec G223 with a MSI B360-A Pro motherboard. I'm running Win 10 Pro on it. In theory, Win 10 Pro should provide BitLocker capability. Last night I decided to get serious about my computer security, and thought I'd activate BitLocker. The guys on TenForums indicated I'd need TPM.2 to get it done, so I went…
