In reply to a post by zyborg47:
I got to find out in Windows 10 where the paging file settings are, since they mucked the control panel up, but it seems a good idea.
They're in exaqctly the same place on Windows 10 as in any other version of Windows. Control Panel is almost identical to Control Panel in earlier versions of Windows.

We did not bother after anyway, He will use the drive for a few games if he runs out of space on the new drive.

We did not get the time to update to Windows 10,k i left it downloading and he will update when it have downloaded, he is capable of doing that.

Things did not go as planned, His graphics card for some reason stopped me going into the bios, the only way was to take the video card out and use the one built into the CPU. Then the thing would not keep the new drive as a boot drive. I got that sorted out eventually, then thought about updating the bios as it may sort the video card problem out, as the computer took over a minute to get away from the post screen and then eventually boot into windows.
The bios update solved the problem, was able to get into the bios and the computer took seconds to boot into Windows 7.

He said it have been like that since he got the new video card, so some compatibility problem somewhere along the line that the bios update solved.
Also done some stuff in the registry to get the machine to boot on AHCI, why overclockers did not set that up to start with I do not know.

Also took a while to clean the machine, dust was so thick in it you could not see the back of the power supply or the main board.

Anyway, machine is now running nice and smooth, I just hope windows 10 updates ok.
I lost my USB stick, which is annoying, I think I lost it in town.
