I am about to install some software and wanted to do a backup image beforehand, just in case anything messes up. I had a few questions:

OK, might try give Firefox a go over the weekend. Cheers

By the way, the Malwarebytes scan didn't find any dodgy stuff, so I think I can put my mind at ease now. I will sleep tonight :)

I was expecting it to find some suspect things that CCleaner had...

Ah here, I am not here to get into a war/argument about browsers haha. Not for me, sorry. It does the job for me, honestly.

Thanks for the reply James. I'll have a read of your link.

Thanks for the info!

Do you mean RTX 3060 Ti though?

OK just at work now so when I get closer to upgrading I will check back here and try get some pics uploaded. Thanks for the help

Thanks, I will need to have a think about which one to go for.

Also, would they be just plug and play kind of thing or would they be only suited to newer PC's? My PC is about 5 or 6 years old. It...

Thanks for the reply nIGHTmAYOR
