I finally upgraded my computer after 6-8 years with my old stuff .... should I be happy?
Not yet!
I went from using
(Desktop) DELL Inspiron 570
AMD Sempron 140 Single-Core 2.7GHz; 2GB RAM, 500GB HD
and
(Notebook) Dell Inspiron N4010
8gb RAM, Intel Pentium P6100 @ 2.00Ghz
USB 2.0
to now, owning
DELL XPS 8900 i7-6700 8GB DDR4 1TB WINDOWS 10 home GT730
Refurbished = $600
Maybe my expectations were too high? I thought that programs like DVDFab would fly ... it became about 4 times faster but still, I thought it would do better.
Installing of new software, thought it would be faster ... not by a lot.
Windows 10 buggy? So, coming from Windows 7, I had to learn a few things, but this Windows 10 gives me issues.
1) Sometimes I can't get the start bar to show up, no matter how many times I click on it. Doesn't do anything (until i restart).
2) On bottom search near start, also didn't work until I restarted computer
3) Transferring files from my USB connected via USB 2 cable to internal 1tb HD sometimes freezes. On selected files says that it can't find it ... a mess.
4) Clearing my recycle bin ... it's stalled right now with message "preparing to recycle" and has been this way for past 2 hours.
What's the problem???
I plan to install SSD drive that will hold Windows and all programs and photos and use my 2TB HD inside the PC as back up and storage.
Also, 16gb more ram is coming on Friday. Making my PC 24GB RAM.
So ... do I go ahead with those upgrades and all will be well, or does it look like I may want to get rid of Windows 10 and install Windows 7 instead?
Thank you!
