    You need to reinstall Windows or whatever OS you are using. What does it say that it won't install?

    gpu Comparison Confusing

    The Intel HD is not better- the only thing is the RAM is theoretically faster but it is offset by being shared. The r5 has higher clock speed, more shaders, better texture mapping, dedicated memory - THAT is what gets you better graphics.

    gpu Comparison Confusing

    No worries. Because the r5 offers more than the Intel graphics. Don't look at the "final score" on those websites. Okay, I honestly did not look for it, just that it was on the spec sheet. Both are integrated - the r5 and the Intel HD. "Dedicated" is a whole separate card. If it really doesn't...

    You can't. They do offer Intel integrated graphics only in the V110 (no r5) http://psref.lenovo.com/syspool%5CSys/PDF/Lenovo%20Laptops/Lenovo%20V110%20(15_)/Lenovo_V110_15ISK_Platform_Specifications.pdf http://psref.lenovo.com/Product/Lenovo_V110_15

    How much more? Would it be used for gaming? If so - what games?

    gpu Comparison Confusing

    Because "better" is rated on a lot of stuff that doesn't matter much. The r5 has a higher clock, more texture units and other stuff that is useful. It also offloads some work from the processor - something the onboard graphics couldn't do.

    Solved! Getting an SSD for my laptop and maybe some more RAM

    You can add RAM to it - up to 8Gb. Not sure about a second drive but it will support an SSD. It takes 2.5" SATA. https://www.asus.com/Notebooks/N71Jq/specifications/

    Does unused entries in the registry really mess up the computer?

    Performance wise - No it doesn't effect, and if it does it is minimal at most. Problem wise - Yeah it can and is usually a worthwhile troubleshooting step in some cases. And yes usually messing with that stuff causes more problems.

    Do you have another charger to try? Or put the battery back in? (assuming you even have it)

    .wav is a container format for Windows. .aiff is Apples version of this. .cda is the basic cd audio format when stored on audio CD's (They are basically the same thing just different dependent on where they are viewed/stored) .cda is supported in all as that is the same as buying a CD off...

    What graphics cards can i buy for upgrading my laptop

    Not possible, you have integrated graphics. Download your latest drivers and turn the game settings down is the only thing you can do.
