Hi guys I just built a new PC and I have a couple of questions/problems that need answering

1.When I first turned on my PC(Motherboard is msi Z370 SLI PLUS)it said the ram is not in an "optimized" slot ,although it still works on not "optimized" slot But when i try to use the "optimized" slot the pc starts but with a black screen.

2.Motherboard website says there is a WiFi card(on-board)but after downloading all drivers from the website(using a usb wifi thingy that I luckily had )it still doesn't work ,its not a problem really but still wondering how to fix it.

3.Last but not least,is that when I tried to install windows 10 (pro)I didnt have a license code so I clicked on"I don't have a license" and it worked without the watermark and the personalize works fine too,Whats up with that?

Hmm... the unknown code is weird. I think everything will be fine as long as you enter a valid Windows key in the next few weeks. Glad the info helped for point 3). I don't have anything useful for 1) or 2) sorry.

3) Although you computer seems fine without a licence, you'll probably find your Windows is not "Activated". From memory, I think you get 30-90 days before Windows starts acting up and cutting functionality. You can check Windows Activation status by holding Win key and pressing "I", then clicking "Update & Security" then "Activation".

1)Looks like i got mixed up with another motherboard

2)I only have one RAM stick currently and its on A1 when I put it on A2 the PC shows a black screen(it tells me to put it on A2 on boot up for better preformance)

3)I used the windows Media Creation tool to install windows to a USB than to the PC

Ow.
That explains it.
Although when I go to activate windows it shows me the last five/four digits of a code I never used
