Speed Up Your Computer


So I sat out the mission tonight to speed up my lagging laptop. I recently had to revert back to this because my Surface Pro is temporarily out of commission. That's what happens when you somehow, even if you don't know how, break an extremely nice piece of technology. My great laptop was running slow. Here are the specs of my laptop and you tell me if it should choke on anything. 1 TB hard drive, 8 GB of Ram and 4 GB of video Ram. If you ask me this thing should zing through anything. I found myself a little frustrated with it when the Surface Pro had half the specs. The only thing I could think of was that the HD in the Surface was solid state and maybe that where the difference was. After some soul searching and a little bit of research I realized that the bloatware on my laptop may be what was slowing it down. I decided to spend about an hour and clean up the HD. After some much needed house keeping I realized that it was needed. This baby is back to running the way it was when I first got it, if not better. I have recovered my laptop and so far couldn't be happier. Here is to happier computing and look forward to what this little guy can really do.

Are We Sure Microsoft Isn't Actually Brilliant?

Microsoft Windows 10 So it has been a couple of months since I re installed Windows 10 and nothing but praises! As all you Windows users out there know that WOW fast at first but give it a few months. I think Windows 10 is one the most stripped down versions of Windows ever that runs amazing on some decent hardware. I sport on a 1.8GHz processor! (Crappy Right LOL), but sport 1TB HD, 8GB of DDR5 and 4GB of video RAM. Processor could be better but all other specs are awesome for a laptop right now. Anyway enough about that. The reason I even brought this up is that I just wanted to rest everyone assured that if you have the hardware to run Windows 10 please do! Best OS to date....... coming from a long time user!  Think that's all for this review except for the link below to download Windows 10 from genuine Microsoft servers. If you have Windows 8 or newer you can still upgrade to Windows 10 for free if I'm not mistaken. All you need is a usb stick large enough to hol...

Steam For All Your Games

So Steam steps up and does it right! I know that Steam has been around for a long time and that must say something about the service they provide. I have been using Steam for years to buy my computer games and it still holds up today! They even took it one step further and allowed family sharing between Steam users. I instantly inherited about 80 games when I shared with Austin. I have been trying to convince my brother to game share with me. One of the games that I love to play is not shareable unfortunately~~~! Other older games I am sure are. I am currently downloading Battlefield Bad Company 2 right now. My laptop plays those classics at full steam ahead. I was blessed with another visit from a wonderful woman today! I always love it when she comes in. Anyway what are all your opinions on what are the absolute minimums for a gaming system right now? Something that will play Fort Nite and Pub G at a minimum. What is your opinion on what is more beneficial to gaming? Processor o...
