I have a 3TB Seagate hard disk which I converted to GPT type using AOEMI Partition Master Standard so that I could partition it into 2 drives of 1TB and 2TB for a total of 3TB. I converted the MBR to GPT but when I check the drive, it is showing total capacity of 2TB with partitions of 1TB each. Why is this happening and how do I fix it to get the full 3TB capacity? Windows 7 Disk Manager also...

When and where can a Windows-7 OEM Liciense be used?
Years back, I had had a Windows-XL PC.
As time went by, I upgraded memory and the hard drive.
When Windows-7 came along, I purchased an OEM copy and installed it on that PC.
Things progressed and the PC became slower.
I purchased a re-furbished PC off the Internet without an Operating System installed on it.
I installed my OEM copy of Windows-7 on it and discarded the XL-PC.

Is there any software that's compatible with Windows 7 but not 8?
Sometimes, I see people refusing to upgrade from Windows 7 (or even from Windows XP) because there are applications that wouldn't work on newer versions of Windows (8, 8.1, 10)... but can anyone give me examples of such applications?
Applications that simply won't install, not even with a workaround.

Getting lots of timeouts mainly using Chrome
Previously I would get timeouts on all websites but that has quietened down. Now it is all sorts of websites such gmail, sevenforums, LastPass, Stackoverflow and others but it clears up after a while. Websites on other tabs are at usable the same time as the problem. I mainly use Chrome though I have seen it on IExplorer.
