Did you copy them all into the correct folder? Should be something like: Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2022 For save games, make sure you've got the correct option for either cloud or local save selected. For the graphics packs I think you also need to use the reload cache button or something like that.

Actually, I take back my earlier statement. Looking at what is currently around at Currys and Argos, I would probably go for one of the ones you linked: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9599646?clickSR=slp:term:laptops:13:62:1 With the price it is and the spec you're getting for that price, it's a really good deal.

In terms of purely FM and based on the specs of FM22, neither are essential. 8GB is enough and most integrated graphics of any current CPU at i5 or Ryzen 5 and above will be good enough for medium to high settings.

There will be better options than all of those. Just a couple of questions - what is the budget you're looking to spend as a maximum? - Are you looking at Argos for a specific reason (ie, you have vouchers, ease of pickup etc)? - Are you wanting to play modern games other than FM?

Yep, sure can. https://www.box.co.uk/82KA00NHUK-Lenovo-V14-G2-Intel-Core-i5-8GB-RAM-256G_3855612.html

box.co.uk is a good site. One of my favourites to refer to due to the sheer volume of sorting options.

I steer clear of recommending any with that CPU due to the low base clock speed. What's your budget?

That'll definitely do the job.

Based on FM22's specs, a dedicated graphics card isn't required and a lot of current iGPU's are fine for FM for medium settings or higher. I would suggest posting any you're looking at as there is quite a wide variance between integrated graphics and some are not so good. If the ASUS you're referring to is this one, it'll be absolutely fine: https://www.amazon.co.uk/ASUS-Vivobook-X515EA-i7-1165G7-Windows/dp/B09TFCDCVF/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=laptop&qid=1658930249&refinements=p_n_style_browse-bin%3A182753031%2Cp_36%3A9708208031&rnid=9708204031&s=computers&sr=1-1-spons&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyVUtEVVhOVExJS0xIJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzY0NDI4TlNBTzFKQllRSkExJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAzNzE2NTc4WFRSM1lQR08yQzImd2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGYmYWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrUmVkaXJlY3QmZG9Ob3RMb2dDbGljaz10cnVl&th=1

Actually quite difficult to say, as there doesn't seem to be many benchmarks done for that i5. There are no scores for it at all on the notebook check site. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i5-12500H&id=4750 https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+7+5800H&id=3907 Passmark only has a very small number of samples for that, and a fairly small sample size for the Ryzen 7 as well. In terms of CPU, the scores we do have do seem to slightly favour the i5, although both are excellent. Although, taking the whole thing into account, I'd probably go for the Lenovo based on the much stronger graphics card, especially if you're thinking of also playing games other than FM. Another option is here: https://www.box.co.uk/30033308-Medion-Erazer-Deputy-P25-AMD-Ryzen-7-16G_4148627.html £100 less, 1TB SSD and a RTX 3060 graphics card - somewhere in between the 3050 and 3070, but still extremely capable.

You won't go wrong with any of those to be honest purely in terms of specs - all of them have very capable CPUs. I've also never heard of Kuu so I can't blame you for being sceptical. Looking around though, it does have good reviews though so perhaps it's ok. Reviews: https://www.geekbuying.com/item/KUU-G5-Laptop-AMD-R7-5800U-Processor-16GB-RAM-512GB-PCIE-500030.html#jbReviewsArea As you say it does have the best spec of the three. But if you remain unconvinced due to not knowing the brand (and with how big a purchase it is, I totally get that), I'd opt for the Asus with the i7. It has the better CPU and twice the SSD capacity of the Lenovo.

Considering it's a 9 year old CPU, it's actually still OK. It won't be blazingly quick, but it won't be terrible either in terms of processing speed. The integrated graphics will work, but I would imagine you'll need to use lower graphics presets. As I often say with things like this, my suggestion would be to download the demo and see how you find it.

I use these sites to compare benchmark scores: https://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Processors-Benchmark-List.2436.0.html? https://www.cpubenchmark.net/ Above is a screenshot from the first site I mentioned. The numbers after the cores/threads rating are the scores in various benchmarks, the higher number the better. TDP stands for thermal design power or, depending who you ask, thermal design profile. The TDP number tells you the maximum heat a computer chip, such as a CPU or GPU, can use in watts. It also is often used as a basic indicator of power consumption. Basically, the higher this is, the more load it will be able to withstand before it restricts the speed to stop the CPU from overheating. Also, this isn't necessarily essential (as clock speed by itself doesn't necessarily mean a huge amount in the grand scheme of CPU performance, it is just one of many things), but FM22's specs suggest a minimum clock speed of 1.8GHz as a base - where the base clock speed is below this, like it is on the i5-1035G7, I will steer clear of recommending these. Whilst I don't doubt it will run FM22, as the base clock speed is that much lower, you may possibly see processing becoming very slow under load, hence my caution with these. In terms of wanting a 15.6" screen, here's one with the same CPU for £449.00: https://www.currys.co.uk/products/huawei-matebook-d-15.6-laptop-intel-core-i5-512-gb-ssd-grey-10230118.html

As per the OP, we can't comment on how many leagues to run, as how acceptable the speed is to someone is entirely subjective. I'd say run the game and see how you find it (download the demo if you want to be sure). I personally wouldn't go crazy with how many divisions you load though, the CPU is certainly good enough to play FM but it isn't particularly powerful so you may well find very large databases process quite slowly.

I'd avoid that one. https://www.currys.co.uk/products/lenovo-ideapad-3i-14-laptop-intel-core-i5-256-gb-ssd-blue-10228900.html This one has the newer i5 for the same price which has a fairly significant performance increase.

Yes, that laptop will run the game. You'll probably need to fiddle with the graphics settings to get a smooth frame rate but I reckon it'll probably be ok for medium settings.

Just to add, I've also noticed you asked about 2-in-ones. There is literally nothing I can see I'd happily recommend at under £200. The cheapest one I can see which meets the specs required to run the game is this one at £350: https://www.box.co.uk/GE199-Geo-GeoFlex-340-Intel-Core-i3-4GB-RAM-12_4141190.html It's not fantastic, and I'm not sure what the graphics performance will be (I suspect you'd need to choose lower pre-sets for 3D match graphics) and given it's a 14" screen it's not much more portable than a standard laptop!

Assuming you mean things like kits, logos, custom database files etc. In which case, yes - 1TB would give you plenty of room for all that kind of stuff.

Yep, will be absolutely fine. Very good CPU in that, and will handle 3D match graphics at medium to high settings.

What is it you're wanting to know? If your laptop will run the game? In short, almost definitely but I don't know exactly which processor you have as there are many i3's which have been released and I can't see any with a 2.33GHz clock speed. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i3-2350M+%40+2.30GHz&id=758 has a 2.3GHz clock speed, so perhaps it's this? It also has the Intel HD3000 IGPU, so this does seem likely. Assuming I'm correct - Will it run FM? Yes. But, it won't be quick, and you'll need to turn the 3D settings down to the lower presets to get a smooth framerate if playing in 3D. My suggestion would be to download the demo and see how you find it.

Thanks mate, much appreciated.

Having looked around at the main stores I refer to, I think that one you've found is about the best you'll find for the price with that other one being out of stock. @Junkhead

Just seen that one is out of stock..... D'oh. @Junkhead

https://www.currys.co.uk/products/lenovo-ideapad-5-pro-16-laptop-amd-ryzen-7-512-gb-ssd-grey-10233246.html Same CPU, plus a dedicated graphics card just in case you want to play anything else and cheaper as well.

I honestly don't think you'll find a tablet suitable for FM under £200.
