To Do

Here are the 2 things I will look into:

Overclocking the RAM: My Ram is currently running at 4000MHz. I should be able to overclock it to 5600MHz using XMP. It does work when I set the System Memory Multiplier to 5600, but it’s not 100% stable and will crash on some applications.

Nexus 9P Slim Fan Hub Bios issue: For some reason my fans are not showing up in the bios. They are working as intended, but the Slim fan hub is not recognizing the fans.

Bonus

Figuring out what applications you had on your old PC

Read this article in how to get a csv list of all your programs on your old PC.

Or just run this in powershell admin

Get-Package |select Name, Version, Status, ProviderName, Source, FromTrustedSource, FastPackageReference| Export-Csv -Encoding utf8 -delimiter ";" -Path c:\getapplist.csv

This will save the csv list in your root C drive. There are a lot of microsoft apps. I tried all of the other options in the article mentioned above and this is the one that grabed all of my programs.

In LibreOffice I used the code below to test if Microsoft or Windows is a substring in the program name to decluter my results.

=IF(OR(ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Microsoft", B2)), ISNUMBER(SEARCH("Windows", B2))), "Y", "N")

Then I just filter out the “Y”.
