New Laptop

H

I just bought a new Acer laptop, no sooner than I plug it in, it does 150 updates and it works herky jerky, momentary lockups. My other laptop was a Toshiba and motherboard cracked but I have a full backup. Can I take the Toshiba full backup and put it on the Acer? Thanks.

no because of the driver issues...you can never take a full backup from a different computer and load the whole thing on a new computer.
 
You should have bought another Toshiba. New computer shouldn't have that kind of problem tho, ask for a replacement.

Also, you probably went low-budget so the laptop is underpowered. You should get at least an i5 full voltage laptop with at least 4gigs if not more of RAM. HD should be at least 7200rpm or SSD. I think you can find these for roughly $800 these days and good build quality too.
 
This is the first time I have ever had any problems with the 8 laptops I have bought in prior years. I have 8 gigs of ram on it and it is set up for 64 bit, Windows 7, didn't want to be the beta tester for "8". Previous Windows 7 programs I have used were not 64, so wondering it all those updates had corrupted something. Well, over weekend, will go to Microsoft and download OS.

Thanks all.
 
Asus has some good laptops . Own one of the 4gb asus slim series laptop that first came out in 2009, still get 7 hr battery life.

Few yrs ago Acer was lagging behind Asus in terms of customer rating . Not sure if its same today, but Acer is cheaper than Asus ...and there might be some reason for it .

I downloaded an old friend, Eusing Registry Cleaner, very safe cleaner as opposed to Glary Ulitilities. I ran Eusing and it found 258 problems on this new laptop, so got rid of the problems. I had earlier tried Glary and it found 475 problems and when applied, it made machine even worst, so I recovered back to what it was.

So now I would say the machine is 75% better. Going to run Glary again and see what I can delete out that won't make it worst.
