My old Dell GX620 refused to start up the other day so I took the hard drives out and put them in another GX620 case I had, with Windows 7. Then I bought a used Dell 960 with Win10 later in the day to have as a spare but I guess I'll run the Win10 and sideline the Win7 PC. The Win10 runs real good. Can you advise me which software is best to keep it running well? I got Irfanview, Glary Utilities. Should I also get Spywareblaster and C Cleaner?
I've been using MS Edge browser and I kind of like it. It's a bit sluggish on facebook sometimes but not bad. I might keep running it. I was running Chrome on the Win7 PC. The onboard AV and Firewall seem to be secure.
TIA for any tips.
The Microsoft AV and Firewall are fine, some of the others are really taxing on the performance. I rarely run CCleaner anymore, but it's not bad with really cluttered PCs. For anti-malware I usually get Malwarebytes, but only run the "on-demand" scanner once in a blue moon, nothing resident in the background.
Win 10 runs pretty good just on its own. Make sure to go into Privacy settings and give the apps or hardware permissions per your requirements.
OK thanks. Will do.
They keep trying to get me back on google it seems but surprisingly I like Edge.
I haven't like MSIE in many years. I think I used it when I first got online about 1998 for a while.
Then I found Netscape Navigator and liked that better. I had a CD for it. Otherwise it would have taken me a week to download it on NetZero dialup.
