New member,Hi to the group
Ok, I upgraded the ram from 0.5 to 2 but it runs like a charm excuse the pun
my button for the mouse thing on my very basic laptop was broke, so I am using a USB mouse with a wheel
and I think that helps with the scrolling, my learning curve was about an hour but I have used windows phone
so I think that helped, the cd drive was broke so installed by USB, very impressed with that, all in all very pleased.
Well done MS you have a winner on your hands.
