while your listening to it, yes. whichever is hooked up to the best speakers or headphones is going to sound better. if you're doing simple sound processing(converting audio files to different formats) then the output files should be the same quality no matter the device as long as you're using...

if you purchase a dedicated Nvidia graphics card and the motherboard has an available PCIe x16 slot. and if the power supply can support it.

if it is an OEM system the key is most likely tied into the BIOS of that particular system. if it is an install disk for Windows 7 that has the included serial you should be able to install Windows 7(guessing this what you mean by old), activate it, and then upgrade to Windows 10. a new serial...

tried "no wrap" option for text?

there are scanners that are meant for this type of thing. but, i believe yours just creates an image and doesn't individually scan the words. possibly could be just the setting your using when doing the scanning though. those types that are meant to convert documents directly to text are rather...

it's called wi-fi. i would imagine any laptop these days has a built-in wi-fi adapter. if not, you can purchase a USB stick or a wi-fi card if your laptop has a corresponding slot for it. how old is the laptop?

yes. connect a drive to your router and it should show up on your network. some routers have a USB port, this is usually the best option. and some external drives have ethernet connections that will also work fine. another laptop or desktop on the same network and/or homegroup should allow the...

there should be a format option in Acrobat & Word called something like "Justify". spreads the lines to fill from left to right of entire page. normally scanning a document will just take a "snapshot" of the page. not individually scan each letter or word and print them to the page accordingly.

with Alienware you are normally paying a lot just for the name printed. MSI & ASUS usually get the best reviews for gaming system laptops. Lenovo used to produce very nice budget systems with customizable options where you can upgrade CPU, RAM, GPU for cheaper than others. i would recommend...

hold down the power button for hard shutdown or pull out the battery. shutting the laptop does not power down the system, just sets it to hibernate. you have to actually choose shutdown or configure your power options to make it shutdown with other actions.

so it doesn't shut and therefore doesn't power off?

you should monitor system temperatures and disk, cpu, & memory usage & frequencies at time of crashes. report back with any further info(including system specs) and someone more than likely can point you in the right direction for a fix.

easiest would be to return the sound card and get something that offers the same cable in/output as the speakers. or maybe find an RCA to 3.5mm adapter and try to run it from card's 3.5mm SPDIF out to speaker's RCA in.

don't know what you mean by "regular Google". i don't remember Google having developed a browser besides chrome. sounds like you may have downloaded/ran some malware that was disguised as something Google. try: right-click on shortcut > Open file location. where does this lead you? if it is a...
