Ok, new PC came in at 4pm today. Turned it on, everything connected correctly and running great, I just need to sign in to my microsoft account.
I don't remember my hotmail password. It's been over a decade since I changed it. I'm now sitting on customer support chat with Taiwo trying to get my password reset because the password reset screen won't load on my 8 year old version of Safari. Nice new PC sitting in the next room, on step 2 of setting up windows, I can't log in to... |

Wait, why do you have to sign in to start the PC up?

Don't bother signing in with your Microsoft account. Click where it says "Create offline account instead."

I'd already hooked it up with wifi. It wouldn't let me go back and skip the sign in until I killed my router and restarted.
Finally. 30 minutes later I'm on my new desktop. So far not a bunch of bloat. It's directing me to a BBB review. I think I'll drop a chiefsplanet.com in my review... |

Ok nerds I'll be bugging you tomorrow. I'll probably need bios updates and drivers and steam recommendations (Daddy can game now!)
Oh, and I need to check and make sure my ram is set to the right speed. |

Got my steam set up last night (rausch35.) I'll be honest - I didn't find much I wanted to d/load immediately. Valheim, ARK eventually, and then...eh.

Alright, I'm going to try this again. Last night was supposed to be me farting around on steam and finding cheap games I want to try. About two hours after I get home this super **** you thunderstorm comes through and two hours later no power. I can say the case I picked looks really good when backlit by candles.
So I'll be on steam today and if anyone has a good single player, PVE, or not FPS recommendation I'd appreciate it. Oh, and bonus points if it works well with an XBox/PS4 controller. |

Sounds like a good rig and you can get one for about $40. Last edited by Otter; 06-26-2021 at 09:08 AM.. |

If I do should I get current gen or can I get last gen? Is there a big trade off? I was hoping I could use my PS4 for controller compatible games... |
