new laptop is fucking up

After enjoying the fruits of your labors, we all need a place to chill. This is that place. Totally senseless irrelevant banter encouraged.

oh man deran that's way to much work that's way to hard for me to attempt

tell you what though, id be inclined to start stripping down this unit of all the extraneous shit that came with it
the problem is I don't have any idea where to start, what can go, how this system even operates

any tutorials on that?

not after jesus said this is an os10 bug...

hasn't happened in 2 weeks now,
but I tell you what

when you click a video to "fill screen" and then hit escape to downsize it,
the browser window you were in rolls itself up about a half and inch exposing a strip of desktop

annoying...

Have you tried throwing it over the hillside? It worked on my lawn mower.
Just because I can't spell misanthrope doesn't mean I'm completely stupid.

want to upgrade the memory but ive no idea how much Ive got now and what type it will take
don't even know the model, just that its an hp

couldn't find anything while poking around in the icon at the bottom left

did discover it has a dvd-rw drive!
didn't realize that; assumed it didn't have any drive
but knowing it does now, and since its not a cromebook it will need maintainance. how do I strip the system down and them make a disc so that I can do clean installs?

the 'about page' has vague answers,
the type of memory it states doesn't google
neither does the model number
I went to hp but I cant find it either
about page doesn't state what graphics card I got so I cant narrow it down that way either
