Turn on, yippee 8GB of RAM installed, what makes me laugh though was when I had 4GB I had a score of 4.4 because of the desktop graphics, everything else was high up in the 5 score. Now I have 8GB the memory has gone up to 7.9 the others are still 5+ but the graphics are now down to 4 
I'm happy though that I managed to do it myself and not have to get my son-in-law to do it, he's the tech. I told you . . . anyone who can cross-stitch like you would be able to installl the RAM! Well done!! Thanks, although I don't think the two have that much in common, apart from being nimble with my fingers. 
I'll agree with what someone said that I would feel very proud of doing it, mind I think it's probably the easiest upgrade you can do so that's OK.  Next step....Joan opens computer repair shop out of garage!  | My System Specs |

Yes, I had to use system restore as if you try another way it needed a password which I did not have to hand. What requires a password that isn't also required for System Restore? 
You could not get to Tools>Internet Options? There is no password for that on any browser. | | My System Specs | | |
