My problem is that my brain and my fingers are not always in sync!

I'm with you on the gaming and the heater. But I prefer cross-stitching. Must have missed the mail. I was out for a Dr appt this am and they must have come then, didn't leave a notice or anything, but it's 4pm and no delivery. My mistake. I was reading the tracking number for the item below. My delivery is estimated for Saturday. At least I know I'll be home then.

Yes, it came!! I tried to get to set it up, but had to go to the emergency room for something completely out of the blue. Spent all night in there, finally got ambulance to bring me home at 3 this morning. Have been trying to set it up, but it's been fighting me. I'm finding it to be a learning process between desktops and laptops. That said, I love this new machine!! Ithas a back lit keyboard, it's very fast, great graphic quality. The touchpad is a little irksome because I keep hitting it by accident. There is no doc to explain some of the keyboard functions or to explain anything really. But I'm catching on. This password business is annoying. I'm going to download a game or 2 now and will get back to you with that. The font just enlarged. How did I do that??river Edit: My c drive is my small 128gb ssd card. My D drive is my 1tb drive. Everything wants to install to my C drive. Shouldn't I be installing to my D drive which they are calling my data drive?? I need help

I'm going to download a game or 2 now and will get back to you with that. The font just enlarged. How did I do that?? If you mean the font enlarged in a web browser, usually holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the + key will enlarge font, and holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the - key will reduce the size of font. Edit: My c drive is my small 128gb ssd card. My D drive is my 1tb drive. Everything wants to install to my C drive. Shouldn't I be installing to my D drive which they are calling my data drive?? I need help Yes you should install games to the larger drive. What games are you installing and where are they from? With GOG games there is usually an "Options" button in the lower left of the window that pops up when you first start the installer, and you adjust options before continuing the installation. With Big Fish you adjust options in the Game Manager before starting the game installation. https://bigfishgames.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/229969207-Install-Games-in-New-Location

Shouldn't the games be in the big fish manager app? That always seems to install to C. Is there a way to install it to D? Does it make a difference or matter where the manager is installed? Check the link in my previous message. It tells you how to adjust the default installation location.

Sorry, I've been painting and stripping wallpaper - oh joy! - this morning. Jenny's links should point you in the right direction. It will take you a little while to get your default installation locations set up, but once you do, just pay attention when installing something to where it is going. I have the same setup on my Windows 7 operating system. Once I got it set up with default locations, it works really well, plus you get the fast boot up and quick launching of programs.
What problems are you having with the password?

I can't seem to choose where to install the manager. It doesn't really matter where you install the Big Fish Game Manager because it's so small. Let it go to C if it wants to. It's the games themselves that take up space. The games are going into my D drive now. I'm just trying to get BF straightened out for now. As long as the games are going to your D drive you're all set.

I agree... just let the GM go to C. That's no biggie... just remember to select D for any games you install.

Same thing. No problem if the client is on your C drive; just tell all games to install on D. That's what I did on my Windows 7 operating system.

Thanks. I was able to put GOG Galaxy on D after all. Have been downloading all the Witcher games to it. Still... The Windows File management confounds me. They have created files for docs, pictures, etc. But to use them you have to install the docs, pictures, etc. to "This PC" which I understand is on the C drive. I've been looking at a couple youtube videos explaining file mgmt on Winl 10. Maybe that will Help. I found the key disable the touchpad . This pc is great Draclvr, anything larger would have been too big. It does my games so far without a hitch. So, again you're right! I don't need more power (yet!). The only thing I would like to change is the size of my sd card. 128 gb isn't very much. I'd like to install a lot of games to the C Drive. When I get a chance I will upgrade it to a 1TB sd card.

What I did was to go over to my D Drive and create a "New Library." In it, I made new files for Picture, Documents, Music etc.
No, This PC is ALL of your drives. Under My PC, I have listed C:, D:, E:, F:, (yes I have 4 drives!) and then G which is my DVD drive and H which is an SD card slot.
When I was researching, everything that had a nice big SSD put them WAY out of your price range!
