There's definitely a CPU in there. The chip. I run across this all the time where folks refer to the tower part of a desktop as the CPU. Even if it's a laptop, There's a cpu in it.
Well anyway, could one become slower than the other, all-in-one versus tower? It would seem to me (I know nothing about this stuff) that something has been compromised to get everything into an all-in-one instead of that bulky tower.
Thanks. I don't know why it took me so long to use PowerShell... You made a convert out of me. I love it! The syntax seems to be the same, at least for what I needed, which makes it easy to use. I ran the DISM in PowerShell (Admin) and it worked great. No more need for me to use command prompt. Not that I know of. I did run into one problem, but it's probably a browser thing, Firefox. during my DISM session I noticed a statement on the top during the DISM process. it was about a cross-platform PowerShell? Do you know anything about that? Here it is -- Install PowerShell on Windows, Linux, and macOS - PowerShell Do you know anything about that? Never mind it's just a leftover there becasue it was not install in Windows 7 and other platforms automatically... not until Windows 10. I'll bet my slow start-ups are caused by my Firefox Browser... I needs to get my cumputer so start up faster... too slow.
I wouldn't think one would get slower over time than the other. If anything, at least laptops stay cleaner due to their occasional use compared to an always-on desktop. I still remember my first internship. It was with the county. Included with that was the animal shelter. I was dispatched there to inspect and clean a desktop they had. If we had a vomit emoji, I'd use it. Cat and dog hair EVERYWHERE and it reeked. But, that's mostly going to come back to overheating issues leading to component failure more so than sluggish performance. Your Dell should have a service tag on it. From there, we should be able to see the specs, the hardware components it was made with.
Cross-Platform Powershell is the new powershell that you can use on Linux, Mac and Windows based machines with the same app. No need to switch between powershells to use on other platforms.
Right now I'm Powershell shocked. It will take me a while to go through all this. Thanks for all the info.
