gechal Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 My old Samsung laptop, 2,4 ghz, 4gb ram i5 processor windows 7 64bit really struggles with FM. Laggy game, fan running non stop. I think I would like a SSD laptop. Or would upgrading to windows 10 help my old system? I cant seem to find the reccomnded system set up for FM, only the minimum.

Does this mean FM17 actually needs high-end gaming machine? Just for football management sort of game? Sounds like graphic-intensive FIFA17 though. Hmm.
