On the Computer Group Zoom call today, Mario advised that his Sony Vaio machine was running slow when connected to the Internet and using Firefox.
The immediate suggestion was to clear the browser cache (Internet History and Cookies) but then it became apparent it was running Windows Vista as well.
Should Mario upgrade his laptop to Windows 10? That depends on the spec. of the machine – let us know Mario and perhaps we can give some advice.
Should the machine be upgraded to Linux rather than Windows 10. It might as well be because there’s no similarity between Vista and Windows 10, so there’s a learning curve anyway and Linux will run much quicker on an older machine AND the default browser on Ubuntu Linux is Firefox anyway.
So here’s a topic which anyone can comment upon and give advice and experience. For me, I think the Linux route is worth exploring. I’ve just “upgraded” an old Dell Inspiron laptop running Vista to Linux and it runs much faster than it did using Vista and it would never have taken Windows 10!
