reset a laptop

[zlodnick]

OK, Its been a few days and heres my report.

I took my laptop to a shop and had them upgrade to W10. (400 bht). Took the guy 4 hours, so there is definately no way I could have done it!

I got home and it was barely useable.

The next day it worked ok, about as fast as before.

I installed skype and got the little icon in the taskbar, (had to google what a taskbar was). The dam AVG is gone, thank goodness.

Now, yesterday and today its working great, faster than ever.

The stuff I do is very basic, (read newspapers, forums, facebook, email, youtube, and look up stuff, so I dont know if this is any benefit to me, other than being faster.

I got a message from W10, telling me I should make chrome my default browser and add it to my taskbar, so it will be easier to find. Whats that all about, it already has an icon and is easy to use?

Also, now I got rid of AVG, Im hoping W10 has enough virus protection. I googled it and as usual, I got conflicting information. Im very careful what I open and never watch porn, so I hope its enough?

So, in conclusion, Im very happy with W10 right now and I thank everyone for thier help.

Sincerely, Z

4 Hours,something off about that but if it's working no worries.

Re malware: Malware Antibytes is good, cheap and doesn't use up as much 'space' as the AVG and alot of other antimalware. IMO relying only on one antimalware is kinda like putting all your eggs in one basket.

If you like Chrome use it, but no problems if you prefer a different browser and want to use that.

I've tried almost all Antivirus programs and landed at Kaspersky. Do yourself a favor and spend the few baht for a one year full protection.

There was nothing wrong with AVG. Been using it on personal and company computers for years. Actually its one of the least obtrusive AV software in use. Your problem is your computer basically hardware.
