Hi guys, i have a old laptop, Toshiba Core i3 2350M - 4GB Ram - 500GB HDD with windows 10, but I have lags when I play zoom in ps. the problem is that I can't see the hand, I run out of time and it leaves me "sitting out", most of the time it happens in utg, is it frustrating.
Do you think it can improve the game if I install windows 7?
I have deactivated animations, aurora graphics and images by the way.

Installing Windows 7 is a bad idea - it is out of support, and is a security risk.

The device that you describe should be good enough to support Windows 10. It sounds like you have a problem with the PokerStars software, you should consider contacting them for assistance with their software. It is difficult to imagine a Windows 10 issue that mostly afflicts you when you are Under The Gun at Zoom - that is almost certainly going to be a PokerStars software problem.

thanks for the reply Josem, is it true that some table themes take up less resources than others?

I closed my PokerStars account more than a year ago when they downgraded their regulatory protections from the Isle of Man to Malta, so I have no particular way to verify that.

I imagine you could run Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+shift+escape) and try different table themes and see the impact on your system resources over an extended period of time to find out.
