I messaged my friend on steam and he confirmed he can't watch them either. So that's that.

I messaged my friend on steam and he confirmed he can't watch them either. So that's that.
On Sunday my windows 10 was upgraded and it took 6 hours!! Anybody know what's up with that?
Upgrade from win7/8? Other than that, the last big upgrade was in November, and there hasn't been even smaller upgrades in a month. (Patch Tuesday is tomorrow.)
I've only done Win7/8->10 upgrades on SSD, they typically take 20-40 minutes there, so I'd expect 5-10x longer on HDD.

I have 10 already on board and this was an upgrade for windows 10.
I had Win7 Ultimate on a couple of my systems. When I upgraded to Win10, I didn't get the Pro version at first but it downloaded later as an update and it took a while to complete. Perhaps that is what happened?
So I have an email address that is about to be deactivated. They have disabled POP so I can't just backup everything to a GMail address. I have a copy of Outlook and downloaded all the emails to my desktop copy of Outlook, then created a backup file there.
When they deactivate the account, will I still be able to view everything locally via Outlook? Will I need to do any funny business with the backup file to get it working?

Can you disconnect and still look at emails online?
I've done it with Thunderbid, there is an option to download all emails to the local computer. Then when I lose the work account I can still search the entirety of my inbox as if it were still there.

I don't really know presentation mode, but your worthwhile non-Adobe options are basically (in no particular order):
1. Built-in OS X/Win10 viewers.
2. PDF.js in Firefox or built-in Chrome or Edge viewers.
3. Open source viewer, Evince or MuPDF.
Alternatively, you can tone down the suck of Adobe Reader by using their enterprise deployment tools to remove most of the cloud garbage. Can use command line or their wizard.

If your computer has the required components to overclock will it do it automatically as it needs to, or is there something special you have to do while building it to get it to be able to overclock?
You overclock it manually from within the BIOS. Please do some research if you haven't done it before as there are a lot of things you can screw up making adjustments in the BIOS.

Also you probably don't have to overclock.

If I tell it to overclock, would it overclock all the time, or only as necessary? (as in, pushing it to the limits on certain games). That would be my understanding of how overclocking works, although I could be wrong about that.
If you go into the BIOS and set it to overclock, it will follow that setting all the time.
Owen is correct, you may not need to overclock. Depends upon how you want to manage the system.
Did you purchase an Intel Core i5-4590? This processor has a locked multiplier, so it doesn't overclock. However, I looked it up and it does have turbo mode. At idle it runs at 3.3 GHz and under load will run at 3.7 GHz. You do not need to do anything do get this to happen. The processor manages itself.

At full idle will run at 0.8 Ghz, 3.7 GHz is only 1 or 2 core turbo, 3 or 4 core turbo is 3.6 and 3.5 respectively.
So I can still access stuff via Outlook when the computer is disconnected from the network. I assume that means I'll still be able to read my messages when the email box is closed?
I also didn't activate the copy of Outlook before I left. I assume that since I can only read the files, I'll be fine. Not like I'll be sending anything under this account anyway.

Nope I bought this one
As far as I can tell it can overclock. Based on the specs I posted on the previous page, would it hurt my PC to overclock it? Can it handle it? Would it actually improve my games or audio recording/audio software stuff?
Ha, those reddit comments are funny. ATX motherboard with slots you'll never use, overpowered video card, complaining about 3.5 GB of RAM on the 970, too big PSU....typical! Anyway, I put a 1TB SSD in your build because you had a $1000 budget. You'll enjoy your new computer so I don't want to ruin your day but if you were willing to use a tiny SSD with a big platter drive (ew) and spend less than $1000 you could have built something off what I spec'd out for you for about $800. I probably could spec out a good gaming machine for even cheaper if I knew you had a Microcenter near by. If you're gaming at 1080p, you have a lot of options.
Also the thing about the Microcenter is they get you in the store for the great deal on the processor and then walk you around the store with their clipboard checklist and sell you not so great components. You have a Z97 board and a K processor and it sounds like you don't know about overclocking, and overclocking provides a questionable value proposition anyways, which is why I usually recommend that folks just buy a cheaper H or B variant mobo and a non K processor.
A 970 or a 390 is not going to push new "AAA" games at 4K. Nothing really is, right now, at adequate frame rates.
