Your best bet is most likely just buying a Windows 7 key and going back.

Easier to just wipe it and start over.

OH, Windows 7. Maybe.

just to eliminate the problem entirely

But I'd need a new external drive to store everything in the meantime.

heyy

Hmm. Maybe just try and move all your important files to your storage drive and just wipe the boot drive

i havent had many problems with windows 10 but iis bs how they make some people upgrade with no chice

I got this computer for $1000 and there weren't really any that fit what I wanted that was around that price that was Windows 7 instead of 10 and going to the trouble to downgrade wasn't a priority.

Honestly Windows 10 isn't the pure disaster that Vista was. It's actually really improved in a lot of ways. The big problems is that the security seems to be buggier (pretty sure that is what's causing this), and of course the spying, as well as the forced updates.

as soon as Vulkan takes over and Linux becomes a viable gaming platform, I'm ditching Windows entirely

Ugh, don't remind me of Vista

Keeping up to date is important but forcing them on people is the worst idea in the sad, sorry history of bad ideas.

yeha

The driver disaster as a case in point.

Driver disaster?

Forced driver updates early on in Windows 10 broke just about every game.

Because bad driver updates happen all the time. Normally they're fixed before most people got them. But with forced updates everyone got them and their games broke.

This is why I'm still with Windows 7. Screw that noise.

It was so bad that they had no choice but to disable forced driver updates.

The 1050ti is a pretty decent upgrade over the 360, as far as I'm aware, yes.

yeah 1 time last year i updated my pc only to find all audio was disabled

i only have 4 gigs of ram though

Just get another 4gbs then. It's not expensive

wait lemme give u my full specs

4 gigs really isn't enough these days.

it's able to get you by, JUST barely, but it isn't enough

ill get an extra 4 gigs and if i still want more power il buy that card

8 GB usually is enough so long as you don't have a web browser and a game open at the same time. 16 is more than enough for most purposes. You only need 32 if you're really die hard with multi-tasking. No one program is going to use that much.

Mulitasking, heavy video editing etc. Power user type stuff

Not something the average user is going to need. And if you do need it, you're probably the one giving the computer advice, not asking for it.

Most likely.

I have 16gb and even THAT sometimes doesn't feel like quite enough at times

o wait

Video editing is the most basic thing I can think of that would make use of it.

i have 8 gigs of ram lol

Or using Chrome

Chrome uses so much RAM because almost every tab is its own process.

I know XD

This actually makes Chrome much more stable than other browsers. The high RAM use is the tradeoff.
