Need help deciding on 2 components for new pc build

[brkkab]

Add one more game to my list.
I just got The Witcher: Enhanced Edition on GOG for $1.47, so now I have all 3 Witcher games.

 

[brkkab]

Got WWE 2K18 installed and setup.
Got Fall Creators Update on both pc's.
Only issue with iy, was I had to reinstall a few of my GOG, Origin and Uplay games so far.
I'll check my Steam games over the next few days.
I want to get used to what's new first in FCU.

 

[brkkab]

I had to do a clean install of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, as the upgrade install messed up everything in Steam.
Nothing other than Steam worked. My Steam games, 3DMark, PCMark 8 and PCMark 10 didn't work at all. Steams fixes didn't solve it, so hopefully it will all work with this install.
I'm still on my GOG games now.
Then Origin, Ubisoft, GameSessions and then Steam.
I'll probably do my 2 Forza games before Steam, too.
Software will be sometime late Wednesday or Thursday.

Almost down to Windows Store, Origin and Steam as far as games go. Uplay will be done the last one in about 10 minutes.

 

[brkkab]

I finished redownloading, installing and setting up my games sooner than planned.
All I have left to do is get my add-ons for Edge, Chrome and Opera.
Right now I'm going after my Zinio magazines.
I'll do the browsers later.

 

[nmsuk]

Three browsers, all I have is chrome and few extensions.

 

[brkkab]

Yeah, I use all three for different things.
I still don't really use Edge.
Opera I use occasionally, but at least once a day.
I use Chrome the most definitely.

 

[brkkab]

Zinio magazines are done.

Macrium Reflect 7.1.2646 x64 fails to create a system image in Windows 10 Pro 1709.16299.19.
Say's to check the error log.
Where's the error log at ? I can't find it.

 

[nmsuk]

C:\ProgramData\Macrium\reflect\

 

[brkkab]

Thanks nmsuk. I'm not sure what I'm doing here on this one, so I'll upload what I find there.

 

[brkkab]

I made the flash drive for restoring the Macrium image after the re-install of Macrium, prior to trying the system image.

 

[brkkab]

***Macrium Reflect Issue Solved***
I ran dism cleanup image and dism restore health commands.
Then I ran chkdsk c: /f /r and restarted my pc so it could run and went to sleep for a few hours.
I just tried Macrium Reflect again to make a system image and it worked this time.

I forgot to post this yesterday. AMD released Crimson ReLive 17.10.2 drivers yesterday. Link Removed

 

[brkkab]

I just enavled HyperV and the run Linux Subsystem in Control Panel. I downloaded Ubuntu in the store.
How do I run it ?

 

[brkkab]

This is what I get once it installed and have no clue what to do next.
It's been a few years since I ran Ubuntu probably about 5 years.

and Edge extensionsI've personally noticed 3 issues in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.
Issue 1: Disk Cleanup - Freezes up everytime it's run.
I know it's done, as I give it twice as long as it took in Creators Update, Anniversary Update and previous 10 versions.
Disk Cleanup windows on drive D: (2nd ssd) and drive E: (Data hdd don't close until I click on Disk Cleanup for the next drive and they never show any progress.
Issue 2: Wired Ethernet connection takes forever to have internet access at startup. Intel Ethernet drivers up to date and configured exactly as I set it in previous Windows 10 versions.
Issue 3. Microsoft killed Disk Image Backups in Fall Creators Update, so why is the Disk Image option still listed and appears to work until the very end and the says image failed.
Those are the 3 I've experienced with a clean install and I've heard their's more that other people have with FCU.
Oh, I forgot one I've personally noticed.
The Store lists downloaded themes and Edge extensions in the start menu until you run disk cleanup and restart your pc.

Just ran all those and have no issue with any of them. Even the system image created properly.
