a solid line most likely is a failure on the LCD panel. Does it occur before Windows loads or only on the desktop

i would replace the HD with an SSD, I assume the drive is the original mechanical one. Failing drives is usually the biggest reason for slowness, aside from age anyway. Its a fairly cheap upgrade these days to extend the life of the machine Also consider upgrading to 8Gb, if it does not have it...

i dont believe that mini-pci-e port is wired for use as a mSATA port https://www.electronicdesign.com/memory/what-s-difference-between-mpcie-and-msata

i dont believe there is a dedicated mSATA port on the machine, but its signalling is the same as SATA, you just need to get a mSATA to 2.5" HDD adapter and use it in place of the the current HD

isnt this a turntable? phonographs signal come right off the stylus and is very low Most receivers will automatically amplify the PHONO input as oppose to all other inputs (like CASSETTE DECK or any other RCA inputs) apparently this has an option for PHONO level or amplified LINE output. Since...

Windows 10 itself occupies less than 20Gb So depends on what you plan to use it for, If its just to surf and office tasks (word processing, email, etc) than it should be more than enough. Games, and storing music, movies or photos, maybe not.

i dont know the entire situation. But not sure if your D630 has the wonky nVidia chips or not. But does the machine look like its booting, ie, the HD light flickers and sound at the logon, error beeps, etc? You want to see if its just the screen (ext monitor should work), graphics (machine...

not sure if you are in the US but you can try something like this https://www.amazon.com/Lepy-LP-2020A-Hi-Fi-Stereo-Amplifier/dp/B00C2P61FO/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

If the machine came with Windows 8/8.1 preinstalled. The product keys are probably in the BIOS, you should be able to install any copy of Windows 8 and it should pick up the key. Can;'t says with 100% certainty as I have rarely touch OEM windoww 8/81. installs. But you should be able to install...

There are USB ones, not sure how much latency there is with them and the CPU Usage. Both Asus and Creative Labs makes a 7.1 USB external sound "card'

not sure if the RAMDACs on the card can generate an analog signal to two separate ports. The 610 generally has a HDMI and a DVI-D and VGA or a DVI-I. Maybe with an ACTIVE converter either DVI-D->VGA, or HDMI->VGA, it may be able to generate a separate VGA signal. Never tried it but probably...

you cannot connect a HDMI output to a DP monitor. You can only go passively from a DP device to a HDMI monitor.

If you are using the desktop version of Outlook, you should be able to add an Outlook Data file (*.PST) into your current Outlook profile. I believe as long as its not directly linked to an IMAP account, it should populate. Then just copy the messages/folders into your current account.

question: does the TV have an option for audio out (usually optical) which will pipe the audio from the TV to the Soundbar. If so you shpuld be able to use a (cheap or expensigve) HDMI switcher to change the input. if not then will need a switch (like a HT receiver) capable of removing the...

First and foremost, I dont know what sound card/device (on-board or otherwise) you have or what you are trying to play. If you are able to have windows (which i am assuming you are using) play correctly thru each channel correctly, that is left-front plays thru left-front, etc the you have...
