So the new laptop has intel i7 and Radeon 8500m and I just updated to windows 10. I have 16GB of ram so that shouldnt be a problem, my biggest fear is not having the hardware
It is always best to ask if a laptop can play games before buying the laptop rather than buying it first, then asking and perhaps being disappointed with the answer.
Exactly what laptop do you have? Providing a link will be helpful.
