I have an E420 Thinkpad and want to upgrade memory from 4GB RAM to 12GB if possible, or to 8GB RAM if not. Can you advise me on the memory upgrade options for my E420, E520, and T530 Thinkpads, all running on Windows 7 Professional with i5 processors?

My stepmother has a Toshiba Satellite laptop with Windows 8.1 that needs a wipe and reload. I don't have the original Windows 8 disk. Should I get the Windows 8.1 OEM version from Amazon for $80 with overnight shipping or the full version for $120? What are the risks/issues with the OEM version versus the full version? Is there a way to wipe and reload without the Windows 8 media since I have a legal version? Additionally, how do I create a system recovery disc from the recovery partition for reloading Windows 8, and what are the instructions for a factory restore/reset?

I just updated to Windows 7. When I sign on, I can click on the Windows circular button to see my 3 favorite games, including Spider Solitaire. It appears with 3 levels, and I clicked the 3rd level because I consider myself a good player. However, I am unable to play at this level, and I need to be able to click on the 1st level. The reset level option does not appear, and every time I click on Spider Solitaire, it immediately goes to the 3rd level without showing the level options. How can I make the reset levels option appear again?
