As I mentioned in the opening post, they're both plugged directly into the router using the same cable.

What will make the biggest difference to the speed webpages load, RAM, GPU or SSD … I recently bought a Dell Optiplex 7090 - i7 with 16gb RAM and a Pcie 3 x 4 …. A friend who’s not very techie also bought a HP 290 G4 Micro Tower with i5 and 16gb RAM ….. his machine opens webpages before you’ve...

No nothing .... as mentioned above I've 2 new machines, I did a partition backup of my laptop which was ready a week or so before starting this thread and then whilst researching best backup software I saw a post that made me question if that was the best option .... whilst this was going on I...

Thank you for that, a very comprehensive, useful and easy to understand explanation.

I've got to be honest, I've read the replies and have absolutely no more understanding before my post ... I know this is simple for people with lots of computer experience but someone relatively new, who's only just beginning to get their head round what partitions actually are .... I'm no the...

I'm trying to get my head around different types of backs and how far they go ... I have googled "what's the difference between a system and a disk / partition backup" but the answers are slightly unclear so just wanted to make sure. Replies infer that a system back copied everything so you'd...

It's for a friend, his computer's so old the dinosaurs were roaming the earth, I don't think Bitlocker had been invented when he bought it :-)

If I have a new computer and a slot where I can put another drive, ideally I'd like to be able to mount the one from an old computer and transfer the files / folders to the new one. I know the new one will boot from it's existing drive but can I do this as the old one will also have an OS on it...

I've tried a few of the suggested now .... my preferred just for viewing is Foxit but it doesn't have any of the other functionality. Tried PDF Xchange Editor .... viewing is "OK" but editing or converting to Word are only available with the paid versions. I tried PDF Gear again, this time I...

I've used this site for ages and it's been brilliant it'd just be a bit more convenient to have a built in one https://pdf2doc.com/ I did try this a while ago and tried to edit some docs and also convert to Word and didn't find it the most intuitive both with editing and it also lost the...

Bit of an afterthought, do any of them convert to Word as well?

Cheers to all .... I'll give a few of the suggested a try and see if I prefer one vs another .... much appreciated to everyone!!

I read many PDF's although in recent years they've become the default for things like internet receipts etc. and have used Adobe Acrobat free for years but they've become more and more intrusive with updates and every time seemed to be tied to trying to back door you some software like MacAfee...

Brilliant ... cheers guys, I'll check the manual, it's still under RAMMED .. it can take up to 128gb I believe so will still be way under and it's as quick as F*** with just 16gb :-)

I just bought a 2nd hand Desktop PC, it has 4 RAM slots and came with 2 x 8gb 3200 cards, I have another same speed 2 x 16gb cards, if I'm going to put them in as well, is there any better option of where to place them i.e. the 2 x 8b next to each other or spaces between them i.e. 1 x 8 then 1 x...
