    Laptop is very slow

    The best solution is to swap the HDD with a SATA SSD and adding another 4 gigs of ram. If this does not work, time to get a new laptop.

    Your Favorite Game

    I love puzzle games like 2048. I think heavy gaming should be left for PCs and consoles. The first game I ever played was Return to Castle Wolfenstein back in ’05.

    Project Management Software Required

    I have tried quite a few and have found that Asana suits me the best for me and my team. Plus it has the most generous free tier out of all. Make sure to give a few of them yourself before you commit.

    W10 Windows 'Background Wallpaper' Pictures

    I think you are referring to the lock screen. This is caused when the Spotlight feature is turned on. Try turning it off from the Personalisation tab to select your own lock screen look and feel.

    Pc problems

    Try rolling back to an older version of windows and driver for your AMD card. You can also try a decent water cooling loop, thanks to having a hefty graphics card. Also, make sure that your case has enough ventilation.

    Bootable USB stick

    Make sure you use the Microsoft bootable tool to make the bootable source. Make sure the partition scheme is set to MBR instead of GPT while using tools like Rufus.

    PC does not start after upgrade

    Try connecting a monitor to check any error message that pops up. Finally, look at the motherboard itself to check the debug LEDs on the motherboard. I once had a similar problem while trying to overclock my RAM.
