I like the idea that learning and entertainment and productivity apps that don't require a lot of muscle can be used...

    Is this virus? Can anybody just make a virus that is so easy it can destroy PCs or make it reformat?

    It's just like real life. You don't just take handouts from a person you know nothing about without verification that they are trust worthy. Same goes for downloads.

    Headphones plugged in but still sound is coming from the speakers in my Dell Windows 10 laptop

    I don't play games other than solitaire. How can I use geforce?

    If you are referring to the geforce experience software it is the interface to your GPU. It allows you to optimize game settings, and settings for recording and streaming games, and it downloads new drivers when they are available. It isn't necessary if you don't use it. You can manually check...

    Best 1155 cooler for 10$ that ouperforms intel stock cooler?
