The 3 pro is still very current. I don't think there is a rumored 4 at this point. Anything it brings will just be minor changes anyways.
I love my 3 Pro. It is right now my only computer at all.

Just an FYI if you were buying 8.1 licenses off reddit, the guy I was buying from (guiltygearz) has been found out to be reselling 8.1 MSDN keys that expire after 90 days.
Not sure what that's going to do to these PC's once they upgrade to 10, but pretty bullshit. Wonder if I can reverse the charges on him

I bought my 8.1 keys off Reddit, but it was quite some time ago and they upgraded without issue. How did you discover they were MSDN keys that expire after 90 days? When I had an MSDN membership, the keys never expired. I was using them for years after my account expired.

Last night I went to buy an office 2013 key from him, and I forgot his exact username so I looked up his thread. Basically all info deleted and the top posts were tons of people complaining that after 90 days their keys went from activated to deactivated. I just hope that my dad and brother in law are able to cleanly upgrade to 10 and not have to worry about it.

It requires an extra 20GB to install, but once Windows 10 is installed you can do a system file cleanup to regain that 20GB. A full Win 10 install takes up no more room than Win 7 or 8, it just needs that space temporarily for the install(since you basically have two OSes for a brief time). So If you can just free up some space temporarily, you're good, you'll get the room back afterwards.
Once you do a file cleanup to get the 20GB back, you lose the ability to system restore back to your old windows, though.

Wouldn't recommend it. Some will work (except shortcuts), but others that may use config files or registry entries to refer to drive letters will break

Opened my computer today to clean it. Found a 30gb SSD I had forgot about just sitting there. I think I had my OS on it when I first built this computer when SSD's weren't that common. I think I ran out of room and put in another one. So now I have a 30gb SSD I might try to put in and at least put a game or two on it. Maybe.

That was my problem. I had a few programs on my OS drive that I didn't have any way to reinstall them.

Shit...some games won't even fit on that these days. It could always be a decent coaster.

Also copy of the game folders from \Users\<username>\Documents\My Games and \Users\<username>\Documents. These folders will have savegames/game settings. A lot of games these days work fine when doing this.
