Maybe ditch win10 for a linux build? I have tried mining, but my desktop is really bad at it. :(

I kill off a lot of the processes that are running, but I am definitely doing something wrong, also.

I used to have a computer hooked up to my tv, great for streaming video. Get a wireless mouse and/or keyboard?

hahaha I used to use a wireless keyboard/mouse combo constantly and loved it. Problem is, my wife doesn't want a desktop tower sitting in our living room, and I don't blame her.

I tried a dual install to Linux, but I was very bad at it and couldn't for the life of me get the miner files downloaded and installed properly, so back to Windows I went.

I hear ya! I have been putting of installing linux forever.

Have you tried running a cpu miner at the same time? Wondering how much that would lower your hash rate. I usually run bitradio on my desktop, pays to listen to the radio. There are also storage type miners that might be able to run at the same time to increase your overall profits.

I have found that Windows 10 seems to cause problems and I've returned to Windows 7.

Seems to be far more stable for mining.

The machine I dug out was a Windows 7 machine but only had x32 instead of x64, while the PC itself was x64 capable. I would have to see if I can downgrade versions but keep the x64 version.

The miner seems stable, just not getting the hash rate I would have expecyted.

Thanks for the input!!

With nicehash you would be getting about 0.5 so i guess smartcash is the way to go. You can also try minnergate for a day to see if your revenues will improve
