I asked someone to install Windows 10 and remove Windows 7 and I wish I had never done it not because he messed it up but because Windows 10 is misbehaving. I can be writing away and then all of a sudden it freezes and comes up with a couple of pop ups before waking up again. Occasionally the computer freezes solid and I have to manually switch it off. I'm getting close to just giving up and buying an Apple.

A forum I asked asked Does your PC have a dedicated graphics card or is it using the on-board graphics and I had to tell I didn’t know what they were talking about and I wonder if you could tell me.
I also pulled the cable from my Cassette out of the back of the computer and don’t know which colour plug its supposed to go back into.
My computer is as follows.
ASRock H67M-GE
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @10GHz 3.10 GHz
Installed memory (RAM) 4.00 (3.73 usable)
64 - bit x64 based processor
 
H67M-GE is a micro atx motherboard. it does have a on-board video card. It has a pci-e slot for a video card. If there is no card in that slot, you are using the on-board video card.

NOTE: A apple is nothing more then a overpriced PC. That's right, the EXACT SAME PARTS. Don't be fooled by the name apple.

Why not go back to Windows 7? It works, and microsoft will support Win 7 for a couple of years at least, which is as long as your old PC is going to last.

I understand the temptation to go to Apple - they really are so much easier to set up, but it is a very high price to pay for what is essentially just a PC, only with better software and a cool looking case.
