Look, here’s my advice: unplug that ethernet cable while you're installing Windows. If you can find a way to kill the Wi-Fi too, even better. You want to make sure Windows stays completely offline so it doesn't try to be "helpful" by automatically downloading its own set of drivers. Ideally, once the installation finishes, you'll be stuck looking at a low-resolution screen because there are no drivers active yet. That’s exactly where you want to be. Once you're staring at that ugly display, go ahead and install the specific driver you downloaded. If that doesn't work, you'll have to manually strip out the old drivers just like Jay explained in that video. The issue is that the drivers baked into the Windows installation are what's causing the headache in the first place.
Which drivers did you actually grab from that link? I went with the adrenalin 22.6.1 recommended (WHQL) for Windows 10 64-Bit edition. That should get things moving. If that doesn't cut it, give the adrenalin 21.5.2 recommended (WHQL) a shot instead.

I think you’re talking about the specific drive options they ship with that model, rather than the absolute maximum capacity. The real bottleneck usually comes down to which partition style you're running. With the old MBR (Master Boot Record) system, you're stuck with a 2TB limit and a maximum of four partitions per drive. The newer GPT (GUID Partition Table) doesn't really have those kinds of restrictions on size or partition count. To pull off GPT, the laptop needs to be running UEFI BIOS; if it's set to Legacy, you're stuck with MBR. That said, I'm fairly certain a 2TB drive should work fine, unless they went out of their way to bake some weird custom BIOS limitations into this specific model—but I highly doubt that's the case.

Maybe. It’s not even really about whether it's "enough." It's about how stable those voltage rails actually are. You don't want some cheap power supply frying your brand-new components. It'll probably hold up for a while, though.
Just don't go picking some bottom-of-the-barrel power supply. It isn't just about raw wattage; you need to actually look at those 80+ certifications—Bronze, Gold, whatever. That matters way more than some inflated number on the box. Honestly, it’d be smart to check some reviews to see how they actually hold up under testing. I'm not sure which GPU you're aiming for, but you probably won't need massive amounts of juice. If the unit is high quality, 500W should get the job done. I actually grabbed one of these recently, but unfortunately, it's out of stock right now—says it's coming back soon. Just keep an eye out; if it pops up again, I think it's a solid deal for $133.
The RTX 4070 isn't even out yet; they haven't even announced it. That’s not happening until next year. For now, we've only seen the NVIDIA RTX 4090 and the NVIDIA RTX 4080, and even those just dropped recently. Honestly, the real question is whether you can actually find them in stock right now. As for the competition, the AMD high-end cards are slated for mid-December.
Sure, you can go with that. It looks fine, though you might find a better deal if you look around a bit more. Here are a few other options in the $250-$100 range. Honestly, I have no idea what kind of budget you're actually working with here.
An IPS panel is superior to a TN (TFT) panel, though for whatever you're planning to do, it probably won't matter much. You have VGA and DVI ports on your graphics card, so check those inputs first. If they don't match, you can always use an adapter. Just make sure you grab the right cable too. With Dell, the first two digits of the model number indicate the screen size in inches, while the next two represent the model year—not necessarily when it was manufactured or sold. Try to aim for a newer model; less runtime usually means less wear. Generally, the UltraSharp (U) and Professional (P) series beat out the S and E models. But at the end of the day, condition is everything. It’d be smart to have them power it up before you hand over the cash so you can verify it actually works. Check for even brightness and look for dead pixels—those little dots stuck on one color—or any weird lines and flickering. Sometimes these issues only show up under specific colors, so ask the seller to cycle through some different colored images just to be safe.
Alright, you've got a Radeon x1550. Don't expect to play anything serious on it, but for pushing a Full HD image, it'll do the job. Unfortunately, the selection out here in Appalachia is pretty pathetic. There's this one option with two purple stripes on it 😁
But I'm not sure if pulling the trigger on that is actually smart. Those lines might be a sign the screen is dying.
If you feel like making a drive to Washington, D.C., there are plenty more options available.
The absolute cheapest thing I managed to track down is this
Check Craigslist, but for heaven's sake, make sure it has at least Full HD resolution. Also, if you can, find out which graphics card is actually sitting in that PC.
You’d basically need to log in using the previous owner's Google account on that iPad. Once you're in, you can just remove the account from the device settings. The issue here is that the former owner skipped that step, and since they didn't, a standard factory reset won't work—it just triggers that theft protection lockout. Another option is attempting an FRP reset (Factory Reset Protection). There are some apps out there designed for this, but they usually cost money and honestly, there's no guarantee they'll actually work. Your other choice is to take it to a professional phone repair shop and pay them to handle it. They should be able to figure it out.
Well, obviously an oscilloscope is going to pick up a much lower interval. HWiNFO is stuck with a minimum interval of 0.5 seconds. But, if you see a significant voltage deviation on there, it might be a sign that something's actually wrong.
Look, just plug in an Ethernet cable. Hook it up directly to your router and run the Windows updates. Once that's done, your Wi-Fi should start behaving itself.
Yeah, you're missing the drivers. Either plug in an Ethernet cable so Windows can grab the updates—that might kickstart the Wi-Fi detection—or just download the driver on another computer and move it over via a USB drive.
