>>54496778
Taken over? It's a subsidiary, you dipshit.
Hey /g/ I keep using pc part picker to try to build something but I can't seem to get it right.

I also really want something that can overclock since that's something I want to learn about.

first of all, onenote is the shit and using it will change your life

I want to wipe the Hard drive of my computer but keep the OS and office if possible.
Would the best way to do this be just backing up both of those then DBAN.

What would you say is the easiest way to transfer windows to an SSD?
