I am trying to clean my PC and improve performance. I have over 200 subfolders in Windows and was wondering if I could remove.
The records are all very similar to this... $NtUninstallKB887742$
You can remove the $NTUninstallK folders [some number] (and ONLY these folders) with the understanding that you will be is no longer able to uninstall updates in Windows that are associated with each file. However, unless you have a very small hard drive and are seriously cramped for space, deleting this files is probably something to speed up your computer. If your hard drive, it's that small it would be better to just buy a bigger hard drive because they are so cheap these days.
Some reasons for the slow pace of the computer:
1. computer has not been maintained - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Maintenance
2. the computer is infected with the malware - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware
3. the disk is too full. Remove useless stuff, uninstall unused programs. Do not forget to save!
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Backing_Up
4. flaky third party software. Toolbars and modules are particularly guilty in this area. Uninstall toolbars (Google, Yahoo, ISP brand, etc) and look at what modules are in use in your browser (s).
5. computer has too many unnecessary programs/processes running in the background. Manage your Startup:
For XP - How to troubleshoot using the Msconfig in Windows XP utility - http://support.microsoft.com/?id=310560
The free Autoruns program is very useful for managing your Startup - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx
6. the user runs an inflated/invasive such as Norton and McAfee antivirus program. Replace it with a better program. I recommend NOD32 (commercial) or Avast (free). Avira is also good, but the free version has an unpleasant reminder screen (Google for instructions on how to disable it). The user can also run several real-time antivirus/firewall/security programs.
7. the user has installed new programs that are processor and/or memory-intensive (Photoshop, AutoCAD, Mathmatica or similar) and does not have the power of the equipment.
8 drive fails and is in PIO Mode. It's very much slow (like being in 1985). See Hans-Georg Michna information here:

I have a Macbook Pro (17-inch late 2011) is fully compatible with El Capitan and Maverick. I'm a little hesitant to upgrade. Tried before with e lCapitan and was NOT successful Please HELP
Why has been upgraded to El Capitan failed before?
The only problem is that some applications require the upgrade and some devices that connect to the computer require updated drivers up-to-date. The problem is that for some devices and applications updates are not available and so they do not work with El Capitan.

I have a HP Pavilion 15 t-n200 and I would like to know if I could spend my CPU and graphics cards.
The specifications are:
1.6 GHz to 2.3 Ghz i5-4200u
8 GB of DDR3 RAm/memory
64-bit operating system
Windows 8.1 (standard)
Intel(r) HD Graphics Family
If someone could help me figure out if I can pass either of these, and what I could get, it would be great.
On models with the 'u' processor, the processor is soldered to the motherboard as is the video chip. If the only possible upgrade would be to replace the card mother whiole. The price of replacement motherboards exceeds the initial cost of the laptop.
