I need some help. I have a PC here(Laptop) that's suddenly asking for a password when it never had one. It's running Windows 10. Boom, i decide to create a boot CD/USB. I can't continue because the bios is set to UEFI. Disabling it and setting it to legacy lets me boot up to Hiren's boot CD but the password reset tool doesn't list the partitions presumably because UEFI isn't supported. Any tools or alternatives? I can't seem to find something.
Edit: I'll try this later.
(SOLVED!) How to Change Windows 10 Password

Is it a Microsoft account?

Hiren doesn't crack windows 10 passwords

multiple plugins at once maybe some have the ability to stream in the future

Should I cop a laptop or gaming PC ? what do y'all recommend brehs ?

@LÍQUIDO
A Desktop will always give you more options. What price range did you have in mind?

2K but I can probably spend 5K if necessary :yeshrug:
My PC cost a little more than $5K. With the GPU prices being so high, due to mining, I highly recommend getting a pre-build from a boutique company. I got an alienware, as I had a discount cuz of my university and its association with Dell, but look around. I really like Origin PC (they will liquid cool it all for you too). You can get a monster rig for $5K. The only thing I'd be hesitant about is the fact that Nvidia is due to introduce new GPUs shortly. If you go with Origin PC, who I was going to go with if I couldn't get what I wanted from Alienware, you can buy the service that lets you trade in old components for new ones. If I was buying an Origin PC, I'd get that special package. You'll be winning for years :obama:

Just get whatever you want with a 1080 (Laptop) or 1080 Ti (Desktop) included with that price range :comeon:

That's like the equivalent of someone coming in asking what car to buy with 500K :russ:

Well cash isn't a problem but this for my nephew NOT myself

I appreciate the suggestion ( or lack thereof ) eitherway "vai se trata rapaz":lolbron:

I'll cop the Alienware Aurora with a ben Q monitor and see how he gets on.
I think he'd f*ck around and break a laptop if I got him that.

Thanks for the help breh :salute:,

the Apple II was cheaper than most IBM Compatible computers. it was one of the first successful home computers, as most computers at the time were made for businesses. plus it could do color graphics

ASUS/Acer 4K 144Hz G-Sync monitors listed: costs over $3000

:snoop:

Way too fukking high. I'd pay $1750 for it, but not $3000....:smh:
Holy fukk.. I'm not paying for that even if I can afford it. No way I'm spending more than half that amount for a monitor. Just continue 4k 120hz gaming on tv's
I was expecting 1200-1600 because of the size but 3K, nvidia have lost their mind

So now I assume the next 1080 ti or titan will not be able to reach 144hz highest settings without sli
