  1. In which disk is installed my OS?


    I'm using my laptop for gaming. The HDD is 1TB and SSD is 237GB. So i have to constantly install and uninstall apps and games from the HHD that i use also for storage, mainly because i've noticed that even if the Hard disk is just half full if more than 3 games are installed, the machine run slower. My question is: logically the OS should be on the ssd so why if the hhd is full the whole os is slower? How do i know where the os is installed? In both disks there is a "windows" folder with same files in it.

    Thank you if you'll be so kind to help me.

    Install Diablo 3 on Linux

    Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

    Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.

  3. GPT vs MBR for SSD OS Disk ? (win7 install)

    So

    I've got a new PC coming and this time it's the first time I will be using UEFI, i have read all the big stuff but I don't have the hardware yet so It's still kind of half baked but I'll do dig deep into it once I start building in the coming days.

    I've read the win7 install guides, MS GPT FAQs (not fully yet), etc,

    But I wish to know if:

    I can use UEFI as an upgraded bios without having to use GPT disk format?

    GPT disks can have any sort of partition cloning for full operational OS backup ?

    Will GPT format improve performance on SDD or improve reliability in terms of data integrity or error rate?

    When isntalling win7 with MBR but using UEFI, will it work normally without needing to uefi-boot the window7 install?


    If I cannot backup my OS in a 100% clone that will boot normally when recovered, i will probably not use GPT, that shit is a step backward.

    In which disk is installed my OS?

    Steam does not install from disk?!?!

    no you're doing steps 1 and 2 wrong. steam creates the directory, you stop steam and then you install the game from the disk to that directory.

    also steam must be off, not in offline mode but off, aka no steam services in the task manager when you install the game.
