I installed Avast Cleanup Premium. I have a 6 yr old computer and it's as quick as a cat. Avast keeps it clean and quick. Do maintenance on your machine weekly. Clean your history, clean your system and disc, empty your junk. A computer has to read through files to get where you want to go. Keep your machine clean. The update didn't slow me. I also have CCleaner. _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

I suspend the update feature (in Windows 10)--it's good for about 35 days. 35 days later, I activate the update feature...only to suspend it, again, a few moments later. I haven't updated Windows in months.
Thinking of installing Linux on old Windows laptop. Had some experience with Linux a long time ago as a user only. Any ideas what would be a good way to go?

You can install something like Ubuntu/Mint or Manjaro on a USB drive (depending on the favor of Linux you want -- Ubuntu and Mint are Debian-based, Manjaro is Arch-based), and boot into it and see how you like it. From there, you just install in the GUI. Installing modern linux is super easy.

I hate how Microsoft uses us as their beta testers.
Do you know what build it is? My 3 systems are perfectly normal but they may not have updated yet.
Last build update I received was on Aug 21st. I just checked and there are no new updates. I'm currently running Windows 10 Home Build 19041.508. _________________ "Suck it up. Don't be a baby. Do your job." - Kobe Bryant
Gaming has grown significantly on Linux the last couple of years, some even say gaming is now better on Linux than Windows... But I don't game a lot so I can't judge that.

Very cool that it's easy. I was thinking of Mint too. Thanks a lot.
Any thoughts on the Dune trailer, DuncanIdaho?

Dude... I can’t wait! My most anticipated movie in maybe forever.
Yeah, and I just picked up the new Radiohead album The Bends ... _________________ “Properly read, the bible is the most potent force for atheism ever conceived.”
