    Thank you so much for explaining this in plain English for someone like me that doesn’t understand technology very well. Would love to see you do videos on computer trouble shooting or basic things the average home computer owner should know about the operation of their PC or technology in general. It’s your teaching style and delivery of your content that I know would appeal to an entire audience of people that grew up before technology was prevalent in our lives, who struggle with it and would likely embrace it more if the understood it better. Thanks again!

      Sultana Chowdhury you don’t need anything too fancy for storing files and occasional gaming.
      I’d recommend and i5 processor and anything above 256 GB of storage.
      You may want 8gb or ram. I don’t know how much you game so weather you want a graphics card or not is up to you.
