Would this device work for me? http://eud.dx.com/product/cy-u3-294-mini-pci-e-msata-to-usb-3-0-external-ssd-pcba-adapter-card-844450741 Or this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-PCI-E-mSATA-to-USB-3-0-External-SSD-Solid-Drive-PCBA-Converter-Adapter-Card-/401165009938 I need to convert it to something that I can plug into my other notebook. USB would probably be the easiest, because I don't have to worry about whether the OS will boot, which I would have to do for SATA. | ||

Ok... so rather than back up the disk, fix the notebook. I'm not sure it's worth the money :/ But what you're saying is that if it's not worth the money, I need to buy a new notebook that has a similar NVME PCIe slot? I also have a notebook that has a usb c port. I saw some reports of external NVME USB C hard disks, but haven't found any for sale (and haven't found an adapter either), so I guess they don't actually exist, and are just ideas and prototypes at trade shows? | ||

G-Sync is turn on. Edit: I'm dumb. Installed monitor driver and updated graphics card driver and everything is fine now. | ||

The notebook I was thinking of buying anyway does have an M.2 slot: https://tiendas.mediamarkt.es/p/portatil-acer-aspire-f5-573g-i7-6500u-1336846#prodinfotabspec Can't find the exact specs in English (I think I posted them here a bit back), but there's a review that goes into a little bit of detail on the SSD here: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Acer-Aspire-F15-F5-573G-53V1-Notebook-Review.167946.0.html There are slots for a 2.5-inch hard drive, RAM, and a M.2-2280 beneath the maintenance hatch. The M.2 slot is free in our test model. Would I be able to plug my SSD in here to back it up? It's also a bit bigger, so that would help too, I guess, but seeing as my drive didn't fit into the M.2 converter thing that I first thought would work, I now don't know whether it will fit in this notebook either. | ||

As I recall there are some under-clocking settings and load line stuff in the BIOS you can turn down or disable to test, but I don't remember the specifics. | ||

Looks like they sold out pretty quick too haha. 30 minutes after I bought one on their website, the monitor was sold out. It'd been on sale for about 9 hours at that point I believe. Doesn't surprise me. That's the lowest price I've ever seen for a top of the line monitor. | ||

the program i want to associate the photos with is not installed(came in a .zip file) and i can't find it anywhere in default apps/set default apps settings. i can associate it with files based on individual extensions (.jpg, .bmp, etc)but that's so tedious. it's something i'm missing?; can i somehow see 'portable' programs in default apps options?. | ||

check in the BIOS/UEFI settings. Quite often the option to switch function keys behaviour is there. You should be able to enter BIOS on HP via either F10 or ESC after turning laptop on. | ||
