Hi All,
First time posting. In 2010, bought an Acer Revo 3610 from Fry's Electronics. It worked for exactly two years and gave up the ghost the day the warranty expired at Fry's. Took it in the next day and they would not honor it. Needless to say, have never walked into another Fry's.
At any rate, I bought a new 750 MB hard drive and tried to get it to work, with no success. So it sat around the house and I bought a laptop. My wife has been on me to fix and finally I did. I tried installing Windows XP with no success again, and decided this was the issue since the original Revo ran Windows 7.
So I bought Windows 8.1, 32-bit (and also have the 64-bit disk) recently and installed it and to my amazement it worked! Then I knew Windows 10 was coming out in a few weeks so I let it update this recently as well. It is still working! The RAM has been upgraded to 4 GB (before the failure).
After all of this, I am just wondering, is there a way to increase the performance even more. I have slow internet connection, but the fan is also coming on quite often when I use the mouse or performing multiple tasks. Has anyone else upgraded to Windows 10?
Just curious if I should prepare myself for another failure shortly and if not, how to increase performance on this Revo system!
Thank you and sorry for the long post!
