  1. After years of Chromebook use I'm back with Windows. Looking to optimize.


    Decided what I wanted was a 17" laptop for some light gaming and mostly streaming video/youtube. Windows seemed the only option so here I am with an HP 17z with a sweet 1080p screen. Looking to make it perform as good as possible. Is there a guide out there that tells how to optimize a windows10 laptop? Basically just want to get rid of any bloatware and whatever else to bring it to its full potential. Thanks.

    Can i use windows on a chromebook?

    External drives are listed as USB hard drives.

    @ paulyjustin Under Storage Devices, it lists USB hard drives and thumb drives. USB hard drives are external drives; I don't think internal hard drives tend to be USB. Here's a copy of what I found at File types and external devices that work on Chromebooks - Chromebook Help

    Filesystems
    You can access files on external devices connected to your Chromebook if they use the following types of filesystems:

    • FAT (FAT16, FAT32, exFAT)
    • HFS+ (read-only on journaled HFS+)
    • ISO9660 (read-only)
    • MTP
    • NTFS
    • UDF (read-only)

    Storage devices
    • USB hard drives and thumb drives
    • USB CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives (read-only)

    Remove a storage device safely by clicking Eject

    .

    Note that under file systems, your drive should be formatted as Fat 32 or NTFS; probably not something strictly Chrome if you want to continue using it with Windows. I'm pretty sure you don't want your stuff read only. After years of Chromebook use I'm back with Windows. Looking to optimize. :) From what I see, it doesn't look like a GPT/UEFI formatted drive will work with Chrome.

    I'm looking for a song identification application for a Samsung Windows phone.

    I'm looking for an application that will allow me to identify songs I'm hearing by using my Samsung Windows phone. I need specific suggestions but not the SoundHound as it seems to be unavailable for my phone.

    Optimize for occasional use?: I have a (Virtual Machine) Windows install that I use only very occasionally. About once every two month or so.
