    We moved from California to Florida about 18 months ago.


    No matter what I do, my Dell 2in1 still thinks I am in California.


    Can anyone help me figure out why?

    Why has Windows 10 slowed my computer so much?

    If you upgraded to Win10 with MBAM installed, it's very possible that the OS upgrade messed up something with MBAM.
    (It was/is M$ "best practices" to temporarily uninstall your AV, AM and other security programs before upgrading to Win10, to minimize the chance of such corruption.)

    Either way, for starters, I suggest a proper, clean MBAM reinstall.
    I suggest carefully following ALL of the steps here: MBAM Clean Removal Process 2x.
    Pointers:
    • Please be sure you have your license info handy before you start
    • Please be sure to deactivate your account before you uninstall (dashboard > "my account" > "deactivate")
    • Please be sure to reboot when prompted by the removal tool
    • It's a good idea to reboot again after the reinstall

    Please let us know if that resolves your issue.

    Thanks,
    MM

    Can I run Battlefield 2 on my parents computer?

    If I am going to buy something, I want my game to run medium to well as far as game speed and res. I am open to any suggestions and advice on how to match up my new GPU with my old dell dimesions 8400 setup previously listed as the setup at my rents house. I want enough power to run BF2 online well to avoid lag problems. Also does anyone suggest new memory for my BF2 applications?

    Why does my computer think I am in another state?

    Building my first computer

    The price list was from newegg.ca

    I changed my cooler, thanks.

    I think I am going to stick with the SSD(good reviews,cheaper) and Powersource (in the bundle deal or I would probably get the one you suggested)
