On the main menu of games there is a 3-4 second delay on the mouse curser so i cant even start it l. I used to play spintires on a laptop and it played just fin but it wasnt a gaming laptop so why canf my alpha run any games. Also on the games from the windows store also lag but theyre playable, well kind of. Please help do i need to upgrade the ram?
