The Windows activation will continue to work when "downgrading" from a factory installed Win11 to Win 10. The version will remain the same: Win 11 Home to Win 10 Home, for example. For best safety purposes, I would strongly recommend disconnecting all hard drives or SSD's except for the one...
Try removing the video card and use the on-board Intel GPU for video. There appears to be an issue where switching to an alternate boot drive can (inadvertently) mess with the motherboard's video out port selection. May need to adjust the bios settings in order to allow video out from the...
The issue would become apparent if the PC is put into sleep mode. If the system spontaneously re-awakens, then the older PSU type would be the cause of that happening.
The 350W PSU may not be sufficiently qualified for the intended use. Might want to look into the PSU's rating classification. Intel introduced a new "Haswell ready" PSU standard several years ago. The "AM-350 PSU (350W 80 plus cert.)" may have been manufactured prior to the "Haswell ready" PSU...
There are newer Intel WiFi PCIe cards that support Bluetooth 5.2 & use the Intel AX210 chip, instead of Bluetooth 5.0 with the older Intel AX200 chip.

There can be an issue if the system clock has a wildly incorrect date setting. A YouTube channel run by Cary Holtzman had an issue where the system clock had been accidentally re-set by the owner to something like the year 3031. A Windows install attempt kept failing, until the year was manually...
Can the PC's system location be over-ridden? The PC's Zip Code system location is always referencing the ISP's Zip Code, not the PC's location.
For example: go to an online retailer web site (such as Best Buy, Home Depot, etc.), and unless manually corrected, that retailer "assumes" that you're...
Sorry: your argument isn't very convincing. A "regular PC" has the ability to play XBox games, which MS designed into Windows 10 to be able to do. A more likely scenario: the XBox Series X includes a specially designed bios firmware, which is resistant to being re-programmed. Either by...
That they would put in roadblocks, was already assumed. However, the XBox Series X bios firmware should be able to be re-flashed & re-programmed with a "normal PC" type of firmware. Not saying it would be easy, and may (?) involve some soldering & de-soldering expertise. But if macOS could be...
Question: How close is the XBox Series X to being a normal PC? I'm assuming that some bios firmware alterations would be required in order to install an alternate operating system. Has anyone attempted installing either macOS (Hackintosh) or Windows on the XBox Series X? Thanks.
Check in Device Manager under "IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers". If the driver there is not the default MS Standard driver, do a driver rollback prior to swapping the drive to the new motherboard. That driver switch should allow booting with the new hardware.
Another potential issue would be the...
There's already a DX12-capable GPU included within the Intel i5 10400 processor.
As far as the DDR4 memory: even though the motherboard only supports 2666 Mhz speeds, the lower cost (~$30 less) for 3200 Mhz speed memory of 16 Gb capacity would still appear to be the better option, compared with...
