New Rig

Postby Harpo on Fri Aug 29, 2025 5:45 pm

Got my new pc today and going to be awhile to make sure things are set up the way I want. Trying to do the things I need to do before I load a bunch of stuff on it. Been trying to look online on things that I should have done before I did this one. There are a load of video's that say do this or do that and some make sense and others that I don't care about. Don't know if I will play this week but hope to see you on the leaderboards soon.

Good Luck! It always seems to take a week or two before I'm satisfied and used to a new set up. Johnny built my new house computer tower and he eliminated a lot of the crap in the computer before I even turned it on. Now of I could only find that easy to use yearly calendar appointment app I'd be happy.

Good luck with it. Was quite weird for me as I am a technophobe LOL. Took me over a week to get used to playing Links with the biggest thing simply the size of the screen.

congrats on your new machine Jim :D
my Windows 11 rig is new this year in May - first time i've seen or used Windows 11.
Youtube videos i watched at that time to learn how to use Win 11 were sayen "WARNING: DO NOT TURN OFF A WIN 11 PC - put it into SLEEP mode instead" !

yeah right !
i didn't believe them and followed my own nose - i turn my Win11 Tower OFF every night before bed and reboot first thing next morning ! and i haven't had one skerick of a problem since .............

and a 22inch Lenovo HDMI monitor Roy - BIG !
