I’m out of town and did not bring my laptop with me so I can’t say exactly how much RAM I have. I bought a new laptop two years ago Black Friday. I specifically looked for as much RAM and hard drive that I could afford. Years ago I had Photoshop on a desktop computer and I had memory issues. The few times that I have used PS on the laptop it has been fine so I guess I did good.
I’m sure you did GREAT! 😀
Have no idea where the Windows button is. Searched and searched. Plus, I can’t read the example you provided. Sorry, I don’t have a lot of computer experience!
Here’s the Windows key https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f40bdb60d32d91089a2694c08b1115d00c1bb824a7112391abd113412260be0c.jpg
No worries! The Windows Key is on the bottom row of your keyboard. Or click the Windows menu (used to be called the Start menu)
I hope this helps 🙂 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0ff9f4144a79fab3764e398eae702443c1003ba64f6fe89d03c4f699d1dbb971.jpg
