    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST New PC Microsoft Store issues

    Yeah if you've tried various things your best bet will unfortunately be a full clean install of Windows (it is a known issues in Widows currently) Mostly you can ignore the warnings and errors in the event log - most are just part and parcel of windows - in fact thats how some scammers try to...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST unable to access due to admin restrictions

    Whilst that may have fixed that issue for the time being if you have one permissions issue like that then you may find more later - cos that just shouldn't happen

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Microsoft Store Stuck on Pending

    Unfortunately I've seen this a number of times in these forums and in Discord, but if the other suggestions don't work then a Windows reinstall is unfortunately your best plan in many cases as it means something has probably gone slightly wonky in the initial installation of Windows :(

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Is My NVIDIA RTX 4090 a Chinese OEM Model???

    Just as a quick note, my previous card - a 1070 - was a Zotac OEM version, I retired it from my machine when it was 5 years old because I wanted more umph rather than any problems, and its now in a friends machine and still works fine (well as well as a 1070 can), so the OEM cards can last...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Pc not switching on with graphics card slotted.

    Probably just means because its not properly plugged in (ie. not all the cables are connected) it just doesn't think its there so its the same as just not having it plugged in

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Microsoft Store Slow/Not Updating on new PC

    When I last re-installed mine (about a month or two ago) it couldn't find the network til it finished the installation (yes ethernet connected), you can complete the installation without it thinking there is a connection when it asks for a network

    Unfortunately, the Windows OOBE can sometimes just break stuff (and its not testable since its a run once thing), least one thing though - since its new you're not losing anything from it with a clean install :)

    It will either be stored in the BIOS of your machine or associated with your Windows login, when installing it may ask you for a key, just skip that part, it should find it later

    Create the installation media for whichever Windows you are using from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 or https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows11 onto a USB stick - it does give instructions how to do so on those pages, and then you can do...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Microsoft Store Slow/Not Updating on new PC

    When you say you reinstalled Windows, was it with a full clean install (where the OS drive is completely cleared) or only a reset? If it was only a reset then as Spyder says a full clean install is probably what's needed. Edit: Nevermind I was obviously typing too slow, two replies came up as...

    If any fees are demanded by customs when its imported in, talk to PCS and they'll get it sorted out (because yes I have heard of customs being a bit awkward at times)

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST Item has been QC'd

    'Awaiting Dispatch' is the next stage in the process, presuming no issues are found. So if no issues are found yes it shouldn't be too much longer, but note things don't get dispatched over the weekend. So early next week I'd reckon would be the earliest for dispatch if it hasn't been already
