Awhile back 3 weeks or so, I paid $39.95 for a Windows 10 Home key that didn't work. A dispute is in progress on that. A youtuber that I have been watching has been advertising a Win Pro key seller for $20 plus a 10% discount code for it. This morning I bought one and received it almost instantly and it worked perfectly.
My latest computer build is up and running but I'm still waiting on a couple of small parts so it's been put away for now. This i7 7700K system has about the same performance of my i5 10400 (7th gen vs 10th gen).

Related to the above post: Same performance, the used 2017 stuff cost me $100 and the new 2020 stuff cost me about $480. Only motherboard, CPU and ram. I'm getting a lot of money tied up in 3 desktops where I only need two. (My son thinks he's a gamer)

I guess technology has been leaving me behind. This morning I installed a Wifi 6 pci-e card w/BT 5.0 in my computer. It requires a USB 2.0 header connection on the motherboard. Well my board only had one which went to one of the ports on the front of the case so I unplugged it and connected there. Here is how I'm going to get it back on the front panel.

BTW I only put the card in for the Blue Tooth, my desktop is wired.
