I have a new gaming laptop. What housekeeping should I do to start?

Apparently it can have some benefits in terms of defragmenting the file system.

Some discussion of it here:

Hi Oussebon - How do i put my signature in with my specs like you did? I have the link from mypcspecs.io but can't seem to embed in signature.
Thank you

Use the [ img ] and [ /img ] for the link you have. Remove the spaces though

Thank you - think I have done it Inspireless Llama

Adjust default recycle bin size, it reserves an obscene amount of space otherwise

Thanks Maniac!

Hi - really sorry for not posting a gaming note on this thread but does anyone know how I can transfer 100 Numbers documents from a Macbook onto my laptop. I know you can export 1 at a time but how can I transfer them all? Hoping someone can help but if not, I will remove this post.

You can use Google Drive or Dropbox to transfer your files.
or you can use USB Pendrive as well to transfer files between Mac and Windows laptop

I've never used a Mac, only Windows in my whole life. However, for the SSDs, dont ever use Defragmentation, it will damage the disk. Please use Trim option only. For games, I call the better performance, or faster with SSDs or HDDs are not so important, it's matter of fact that I need something stable, more secure. Why? I am aware of crashes might lose the data.

This is out of date info - at best. See the discussion on this earlier in the thread.

I'm afraid I have no idea what this means

Hi everyone,
Laptop still in its infancy but I do have some questions:
When I use Zoom, people say they cannot hear me very well. My Macbook works totally fine - naturally I have checked systems/control panel and I cannot see where the issue might be? Cheers.

How does it sound if you record yourself?

Edit - I took it as read that you're using the laptop/mac's internal mic - if not, let us know what you are using

Hi Ousseon - it's the internal microphone and when I record myself it's fine. I just don't seem to hear people as loud as I like too. I'm pretty sure I have everything 100% sound but might it be something to do with a setting.
On control panel on mic, when testing microphone, the blue line literally moves 10%
