    Maintenance of Windows 7


    Hi, I bought a 2nd hand laptop (lenovo g450) and it's Windows 7 32bit.
    I'm not techie Guy...Here are my quetions:

    1. How do I personalize my Windows 7
    *User account
    *Things that I just want to see on the screen
    *Folder Management
    *Arrange files

    2. How do I maintain Windows 7? like I just want this machine to run smoothly always. Where do I go always when my laptop is very slow (Troubleshooting)

    3. Gaming... I wanted to play games like Stracraft 2, NBA2k10 and etc.
    Where do I go to adjust the settings in order for the game to run smoothly?

    Specs: 2.3GHz Intel(R) Dual-Core Processor T4500 @ (2 CPUs)
    2GB System Memory
    320GB Hard Disk Drive
    Intel(R) GMA 4500MHD
    32MB Dedicated Video Graphics Memory
    780MB Available Video Graphics Memory

    4. Also, how to customize or manage the download? For example, when I download movies, songs and games I want to direct it to a specific Folder and When I download games, softwares and programs (installers), I want to direct it to specific folder also.

    1. For that I suggest you click on "Help and Support" in your Start menu. There are several starter guides which will teach you the basics.

    2. Normal maintenance is done automatically from Microsoft (you need to be connected to the internet). If you encounter specific problems, come here for help. It is impossible to give you a "heal all" procedure.

    3. I am afraid you will not do advanced gaming with your on-board graphics. But some games that do not need powerful graphics support may work.
