Armed with your old W7 licence number and a W7 installation disk (available on eBay for pennies) you can simply replace your SSD and rebuild your W7 system. My W7 laptop is a 13-year-old Vostro which has been upgraded to a T9300 cpu and MX100 SSD. Not only that the premium brand SSDs from Samsung, Crucial and Sandisk are now incredibly cheap … unless you want Terabytes.
One of my sons has an Inspiron which is creaking under W10. I have bought a Sandisk 480Gb SSD to try to cheer it up. Will let you know how that goes when I get around to the installation.
Please excuse the interuption guys but ever the oppoutunist.
Ex did you ever discover a way to see the background programs clogging up the cpu in win 10.
I am also running win 7 professional as I refused to update to the free win10 version.
However I also experience a slowdown after sometimes days of running, obviously opening and closing numerous windows (word/trading platforms/excell/ etc).
When it slows I check the task manager and see spare capacity on the cpu and spare physical memory so I am not overloading with my stuff.
I see nothing obvious like the Virus software taking over and I have updates set to manual so I decide when they run.
It’s not a major problem, I just close every applications I am running and restart those I need and it functions again normally. ( a bit like you restarting Ex)
Let’s not get into too much detail as it is not killing me but any thing useful you might have found I can check I will try out
Same for you Doc if you have experienced similar, just please be gentle guys as I like it simple
I discovered the extraneous loading in W10 because I had the sidebar showing the system resources usage, the two dials.
I can’t remember which process I restarted, I think it was something with ‘Instrumentation’ in the name. However the names have changed from W7 to W10.
That is another thing I don’t like about Windows, there is a persistent effort to obsolete your skills by changing everything just for the sake of change.
Well done switching to manual updates, I do the same with Flashplayer.
I never use sleep nor hibernate, that way the system memory is always uncluttered.
Besides it seems that ‘sleep’ is a function which wrecks your laptop battery if you don’t switch back on within hours.
I understand you could run windows 7 on a Mac so you could have mt4 charts. I read that apple’s recent upgrade won’t support w7 anymore or it will happen soon.
I wouldn’t know, I don’t think its a good idea trying to run a windows application on a MAC. I was strictly speaking of PC. My MAC is just for Graphic applications.
Thanks I will search the forums and see if instrumentation features in any of them and try to translate to w7
Same, I never turn my pc off. Obviously not to save battery as it is a mains tower, I just don’t see any benefit. The longest it has probably run continously is upto a year without having to switch off.
Let’s hope I haven’t talked up some gremlins
My wife’s Macbook never gets switched off but gets put into a dormant mode ( close the lid ) often yet it is extremely stable.
It’s stability is one of only a tiny number of features I like about it though…
Yes we did, and taking your advice it worked out great. I am just trying to decide now on my hardware for my opensource computer. I think the fun part about PC, is building them to spec. A lot less cheaper than a MAC that is for sure!
I saw Clapton in 1975 at the Capital center in Maryland which has since been torn down. He was great. Unfortunately my seat was behind the stage so I didn’t see his face much but the acoustics were good.
Just for info Alex: I have run XM trading’s MT5 platform on a MAC without needing the windows crossover. Doc is absolutely right and it appears from many sources that say trying to run windows on a Mac is really tricky and at worst can be catastrophic.
My wife took hers into the Apple store and some numpy there attempted to install a program for converting to windows and it completely screwed her Mac. Luckily it was within warranty because they couldn’t sort it and it had to be replaced.
The MT5 platform however seems to run well although I haven’t used it in earnest just tried a few different EA’s out. I really don’t get on with the whole Mac experience
From the first video Nathaniel, dressed as a priest, was born ■■■■■■ but converted to Christianity.
Seems that not all ■■■■ like what the globalist elites are doing. They’re the most vocal against them although they are told to pipe down by other opportunists. So when generalizing all ■■■■■ it isn’t correct. The elitists though hide behind them while the have their own satanic sect they believe in. This hidden stuff goes back to Babylonian times.
When I was at that concert, I was a 11 year old kid who had no clue who Clapton was. It wasn’t until after that show that I grew to appreciate his music as I grew older!
Was that one of the first fables ? I have read there was no archaeological evidence to support that they were ever in Egypt ? Regardless I have no idea, one thing we know is behaviour gets passed on, then on reaching maturity some adjust their learned behaviour and some continue with it. I think that holds no matter what faith, race etc
You know that Jesus was a ■■■ that fought against the Pharisee money changers and their satanic cult. His premise was you either serve God or you serve money. You can’t serve both. That’s were we all come together, after two thousand years and today we have to choose, do we serve God or money. It’s a moral dilemma. Money is just a tool and can serve you well but a terrible taskmaster. If you believe in a tool you’re turning reality upside down and insanity creeps in. Pardon for the rant Stu. Much respect for your grandfather. Even though we are lumped in a race or ethnicity or religion, it all comes down to each one’s individual’s choice.
When Eric Clapton was with Cream he was awesome. He along with Hendrix, Blackmore, Gilmore, Iommi, Harrison and Page inspired me to buy my first guitar.
