The Thumb | I have done such upgrades in a desktop, but I don't like to do it in a laptop. The thermal ratings and space confines of a laptop scare me personally, in a desktop you can always throw a bigger heatsink and fan on a new processor but you can't do that in a laptop. I'm not saying it wouldn't work, it just scares me personally.
For the clean install, to really clean it up you should backup everything maybe make an image just in case, but you should reformat and reinstall windows and all your programs from scratch. I'm wondering if that acer program is automatically installing everything including the junk that is slowing down your computer. Really what might speed up your computer most is putting in an ssd, but thats not nearly as cheap of an upgrade. | |
