how much RAM to you have? Is it an SSD?
tranquil lake
I tried lxle linux, then totally dont know how that linux works, so I had to go back to windows
I asked someone to do it for me
sly bloom
Windows 7, 8, 10, 11?

4GB of RAM!
sly bloom
Doesn't matter. Windows is free to use. Only need to buy it for Premium features.
Is it a stationary PC or a laptop?
is it a Mac?
tranquil lake
anyway, unity 2017 + vsc is perfect with it, im still loving my unity experience haha
tranquil lake
Is it a stationary PC or a laptop?
It's a laptop
sly bloom
Does it have USB 3.0 ?
tranquil lake
Does it have USB 3.0 ?
not sure waht is that, how to tell?
mint crest
if you can swing more RAM that would help a lot I bet.
mint crest
what color is the port, USB3.0 should be blue
sly bloom
If you have the model number for the laptop, we can google the specs
usually at the bottom left or right corner of the monitor
tranquil lake
the usb port is black, is that it?
sly bloom
Probably 2.1 then.
So, the reason I ask, is because there is a cheap solution you can explore to increase performance
buying a USB memory stick, and setting it up to use ReadyBoost
it would act as a secondary memory

That sounds great! Good work.
There is also another alternative

buying a USB memory stick, and setting it up to use ReadyBoost
I remember having one of my frinds that have this
Or I think it was an OS, not sure
sly bloom
On my old PC which would be of similar age, I ended up using Windows Server 2008 modified as a Desktop OS. It was the only thing that finally let me play League of Legends without any lag.

Like OS usb, not sure if Iit actually improve performance

If the harddrive is slow, it could
is the HDD new?
cheapest thing to upgrade and carry over to new rigs
tranquil lake
is the HDD new?
of my friend's laptop? I cant tell
tranquil lake
1. You have online backup of your game right?
yea, in github
sly bloom
yea, in github
That's very good. If your HDD is 4-6 yrs or older, it could break down any day.
It's not as dire as 10-20 yrs ago, but still, a risk
This means it's probably not an SSD, and is therefore a traditional mechanical Hard-drive
Those are the slowest, and will slow down over time.
If you have local files that are important, you should get an external hard-drive.
Or just buy an SSD and get help to migrate over.
SSDs are not mechanical, but work on flash memory
very fast
And today very affordable.
tranquil lake
Yeah thanks! I already uploaded my files in gdrive before when you told me, thanks!
sly bloom
Very good 👍
tranquil lake
Very good 👍
THank you very much for the time and concern
mint crest
I have copies of my files on my PC, a backup drive, github and gdrive
