Finally got my new desktop computer with Windows 10 on it all set up and ready to use. It took a little while, since my dad insisted on the do-it-yourself approach, but everything now seems to be running smoothly (I even managed to unlock that Steam achievement on that Lego game that I should've unlocked weeks ago but somehow didn't, all from a very brief session to see just how much better this new computer is compared to my old one).
The previous one that I had been using is one that I've had since December 2010, so that's nine years it's been in use (as Window XP until March 2016, when I got it upgraded to Windows 7). Even though I've been using my laptop (still in use) for a lot of my web browsing, I've also done quite a few things on the old desktop as well. Before today, all of my gaming through Steam had been done on that computer. It was also on that computer that I had watched every single episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic over the years. It's a little bittersweet to see that old thing be unplugged and placed in storage, but with the minor performance issues it's been having with some of the more recent Lego games, I knew it was time to get something more suitable for these days.
I'll be putting my brand new desktop to good use almost right away. I'll watch my copy of The Lego Movie 2 (my first time ever watching anything on a Blu Ray disk instead of a DVD), try out that Lego building designer I've never tried before known as "Studio" to replace the now essentially defunct Lego Digital Designer, and of course I'll be installing and playing the next on my list of Lego games to play; Lego City Undercover (which happens to be the one Lego game I've been more excited to try than literally any other, so it's quite fitting that it'll be the first one I'll be playing on that new computer).
