If I purchase a Win 7 key and upgrade to Win 10, in future I do a fresh install do I have to install Win 7 first b4 doing Win 10 or I can just do a direct Win 10 install.
In future, if you need to format and install, can direct install win 10 .
Make sure your first install, you must activate it so it tag to your MB

Hi guys..

As the recommended Gigabyte H97N+Wifi might out of stock, I need few alternative for motherboard.
Im getting a new desk and it should has enough space for m-atx casing.

Pls recommend me
1. few motherboards - mini-itx/m-atx for me to choose (again, in case out of stock)
2. WIFI Card.

Many thanks in advance.

Many thanks bro.. will have a look..

Do you think having a standalone WIFI card is better than WIFI intergrated onto motherboard or vice versa?

initially looking for MB with WIFI because of limited expansion slots in Mini ITX casing.
Now I can choose m-atx casing with extra slots..

Thanks for the advise.

My fibre router/ modem box is located on the living room. Impossible to run any cables unless i drill holes on some of the walls.
And also i want to connect to my printer via wireless. Printer is in my son's room..

Best solution is to run LAN cables along trunking to your room. That would mean some drilling and DIY to do, but the reward is full speed of whatever broadband plan u paid for.

Alternative solution is to run homeplugs. Tradeoff is u only get 50-70% of broadband speed. But still better than wifi which sometimes varies from 5-75% of broadband speed.
