    Samsung 850 EVO - new install - slow speeds?

    thanks - i had followed wazza300 advice and looked on mobo website but the latest versions they had seemed very old and certainly didn't reference win10 am a bit wary as you say "should install just fine" - what happens if they don't - could it break the system or is it something you can just...

    Samsung 850 EVO - new install - slow speeds?

    makes me feel a bit happier - sortof :p might your speeds be due to SATA port being used like me? only if you are using an Intel port then maybe my Marvell port isn't the problem

    Samsung 850 EVO - new install - slow speeds?

    thanks mattmos At bootup BIOS it says its 6gbps - so hopefully that ok if i change ports as suggested will that mess up the windows install or anything? In the meantime any other suggestions welcome [gonna hold swapping SATA ports for a bit as it means removing graphics card] cheers

    Windows 10

    If Win10 is the last "version" of windows and it just becomes one rolling release then does that mean there is effectively no such thing as a "Retail" version you can move can move from PC to PC as that would give you Win10 for life as opposed to life of device. i.e. in future you may only be...
