Hi all,
I've got an Acer, bought in April '17: Windows 10; AMD A10 7800 quad-core plus AMD R7 graphics; 2TB; 8GB DDR.
Trouble is, it's always been quite slow, even with my old bridge cameras. Now, for example, with a Canon that produces 32MP files, on download from the camera's memory card, it takes ages for the file icons to change from grey to an actual image.
If I try to use DPP, I could pretty much go for a cup of tea while operations take place, e.g., converting from RAW to TIFF files.
The PC recently went in to be sorted (lots of files removed but nothing beyond that) and is only marginally faster.
Anyone got any ideas as to how I could speed this PC up?
Or should I go for something new with better spec?
Thanks for looking,
Thomas
