With Microsoft Defender when I open a folder with multiple .exe files or when I open a folder with a big(100mb or +) .exe file those .exe files icons take a long time to show.
That probably wouldnt happen if I had a SSD but with a HDD I get that issue.
I switch to KFC Free because I dont get that "problem" and the new KFC Free version at least for me seems to be lighter than older KFC Free versions I tested in the past.

Got a "new" Laptop thx to a friend:

My old Laptop Model: Asus F507LA
CPU - Intel i3-5005U
GPU - Intel HD 5500
RAM - 4 GB DDR3L 1600 MHz(single slot: used)
HDD - 500 GB

My "new" Laptop Model: Asus X550LB
CPU - Intel i5-4200U
GPU - Intel HD 4400 + Nvidia GT 740M(2 GB)
RAM - 4 GB DDR3L 1600 MHz(on board) + 1 Free Slot
HDD - 500 GB

I am planning to buy a 4 GB RAM to have 8 GB RAM on my "new" laptop so I can play GTA V and Killing Floor 2.
I will not be able to upgrade to Windows 11 without "cheating" because my laptop doesnt have TPM support.

Yesterday I upgrade my device(unsupported) to Windows 11 and everything is working great and got windows security updates.
If I get any problem I post here to let people know.

I dont recommend people doing this, I did it because I can easily reinstall Windows 10 if necessary.
