I have a school project that I am having some difficulty with. I have to come up with a patch management solution for a company with 500 computers with a mixture of Windows, Apple, and Linux workstations. What I am having difficulty figuring out is where should I put this patch manager? A windows server? A Linux server? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

That worked! Thank you!!!

Thank you for your response. I was going to try something similar to that but unfortunately the laptop will not boot even in safe mode.

I have an old sony viao laptop from 2009-2010 time frame. It ended up getting a virus on it around that same time frame and now it will not go past the boot up screen regardless of how I try to use it (via normal boot or safe mode). I have some old pictures on it of my daughter that I don't have saved anywhere else. On my current laptop I have McAfee virus protection. I have a hard drive reader so I can remove the hard drive from the old laptop and plug it into my current laptop and either remove the virus with my virus protection or just get my pictures off of it. Before I go and do this, I was hoping to get a second opinion on it in case it is a bad idea. Thank you in advance for your time.

I have an HP 15 laptop that I purchased for college. It came with 4GB of RAM and a max speed of 2GHz on the CPU. I use a lot of virtual machines for school and its becoming a bit of a pain in the ass. Anytime I was using a virtual machine, the CPU and Memory would skyrocket to 80-99% and the fan would kick on. I changed out the RAM card and now I have 8GB of RAM and that has improved things drastically, however the CPU is still skyrocketing, not just when I use a virtual machine, but when I do just about anything now. I have an AMD A6-5200 Processor and I'm trying to find out if I should upgrade to something better or if there is anything else I can do that won't require me to buy a new laptop because unfortunately that is not an option for me. If I can upgrade, what should I upgrade to? Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thank you in advance.
