[Trainer-Talk] Recommendation?

[Nancy Coffman]

I have a laptop with 6 GB of Ram and an I5 processor. It has been upgraded from Windows 8 to Windows 10. I will give it 2 thumbs up for working, but I find that it runs quite slow a lot of the time. I work pretty hard at keeping it maintained so extra registry entries and extra software don't bog it down.
