What updates do in fact I keep on my computer?
In my folder or on my hard drive where you go to add or remove programs I have bunch of updates as "Security update for Windows XP" there's 21 of them. Should I keep them all or I can safely delete some? I don't know how much memory they are using actually but I think they use much more that I would like to. Also in my area Add / Remove programs not all my programs I have installed actually appear in there. If all of my installed software should not be there? Thatnx in advance for any help you can offer.
1. If you remove the updates then... you have more updates.
2. not all programs appear in the Add/Remove box.
Of security Windows updates don't take up much HDD space, if you are worried about how much space you have left there are ways and things that can be deleted. Go through the start menu to Accessories, System Tools... Disk Cleanup. This will remove all temporary files.
ALWAYS BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU REMOVE FROM YOUR SYSTEM. It's a good idea to ask if you don't know that you could make you computer will not work with a simple wrong click!

I run more registry cleaner software as I think that was my fall down during the past year, why I had to reinstall my discs of recovery on 12 or more times. Any basic help and knowledge would be appreciated as I like to learn new things - also if anyone knows of acceptable software that is allowed to run or use to keep your pc running like new thank you Dave

Your problem is that the program wants a good video card and a fast hard disk and a lot of memory and have in what precedes. If you have upgraded the RAM to 8 GB memory and installed a disc hard solid state, you could do the program usable but the real bottleneck is going to be the Intel HD graphics, which cannot be upgraded.
You don't have a slot open for add a 4 GB memory module. It is a simple upgrade relatively inexpensive. See here:
https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=L7FvZ-JduRM
http://www.crucial.com/USA/en/ct51264bf160b
I'll try this one step at a time. Next would be the solid state drive. It would cost maybe $150. If you need assistance.

What is a simple but effective update to the XPS 8500 video card? (Computer complete Newb)
Hello Dell Community. I read through the sticky XPS compatibility and some discussions on upgrading video cards. However, I couldn't find something that fits my needs. If you all can help me with this, would be great!Characteristics of the computer:
- Dell Xps 8500
- Intel Core i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHZ
- 16 GB of Ram
- 64-bit operating system
- AMD Radeon HD 7570
Needs:
- Run newer games of 2014/2015 without lag on medium to high heat (GTA V)
- Relatively easy to install (remove some screws and paste the video card in and voila!)
- No need to upgrade the power supply
Budget is $ 200-250:
- Obviously the lower the better and if need be, the budget is flexible. Depends on if the gain is important for the payment of the sum.
Look forward to your answers!
Thank you
Richard
A card that I know works is $200 would be
EVGA GeForce GTX 960 SuperSC ACX 2.0 + 2GB GDDR5 128 bit 02 G-P4-2966-KR that it comes with a 2 X 6 pin cable 8 pin Y so the stock power should be good.
more than 2 GB will not improve the map and it will increase the price.
