| PC Status | Overall this PC is performing way below expectations (14th percentile). This means that out of 100 PCs with exactly the same components, 86 performed better. The overall PC percentile is the average of each of its individual components. Use the charts in the benchmark sections of this report to identify problem areas. |
| Processor | With an extremely low single core score, this CPU can barely handle email and light web browsing. Finally, with a gaming score of 20.6%, this CPU's suitability for 3D gaming is very poor. |
| Graphics | 1.19% is too low to play 3D games or use CAD packages. (Note: general computing tasks don't require 3D graphics) |
| Boot Drive | The boot partition is located on a mechanical or hybrid drive. Moving the system to an SSD will yield far faster boot times, better system responsiveness and faster application load times. |
| Memory | 6GB is enough RAM to run any version of Windows and it's sufficient for the vast majority of games. 6GB is also enough for moderate file and system caches which result in a very responsive system. |
| OS Version | Although Windows 10 is not the most recent version of Windows, it remains a great option. |
Very high background CPU (100%). High background CPU reduces benchmark accuracy. How to reduce background CPU.
