Thank goodness for my laptop and........
and a spare backup pc!
My computer has been having sound, video and internet speed issues for a few months. I tried everything I knew, scoured the internet for solutions. Somethings worked for a while, nothing was permanent. I avoided going into my bios settings or tinkering with the registry. I'll leave that to the techies.
So I finally called my computer peeps. They built my gaming rig 2 1/2 years ago. They asked that I bring it in for a total check up. So we put her in the backseat, buckled her up. And set off for Redmond, which is about 45 minutes away. Why so far? We have had this little mom and pop (actually two guys and a gal) shop build my computers for 13 years.
So to browse the internet and be with my pals here. My laptop is stepping up to the plate. As for as my video games go my back up computer is hooked up. I am not worried about speed or anything like that with the backup pc with is running Vista still. I have no plans of upgrading it to Windows 10.
My computer people suggested NOT upgrading my gaming rig for 3 to 6 months. The computer guy suspects a bad software update from Windows. But most of or if any repairs are covered by my warranty which is nice.
