I have a Samsung NP-N102S notebook which I "upgraded" to Windows 10 Pro on a SSD drive and it is so slow as to be almost unusable compared to my HP Pavilion laptop for playing Candy Crush Saga.


I have decided to try Linux or Ubunta or something similar and was wondering what would be better for it and also for playing Candy Crush Saga?

    if you have put win10x64, try the 32 bit version instead.

    I am unsure of the bios, but make sure the ahci is selected before reinstalling.

    I don't want Windows 10 anymore.

  • Candy Crush Saga isn't available Linux, I suppose you could play the web version

    It doesn't do what I want it to do.

    I play Candy Crush Saga on 4 computers and a tablet all syncronised so if I finish a level on my tablet I can play the next level on my computer or if I lose all my lives instead of changing the time which sometimes screws up, I am waiting 3 years for a free spin on my tablet, I just go onto another computer. :rotfl:

    Sad I know. :cool:

    Read here https://king.com/game/candycrush does it say Linux? no thought not , but you could use an Android emulator or some such. Of course you could change your addictions :D

    So why not re-install Windows 7 32 bit? That should do it.

    Because Candy Crush Saga Windows 10 version does not work on Windows 7.
