I have Windows XP. It's about a 12 year old software. Microsoft doesn't offer any services to Windows XP because like I said before, It's a 12 year old software platform. When I try to play Roblox everything lags. Even when my game settings are put to 1. It's been doing this since May. How can I make Roblox run faster? By the way, I have an HP mx705 (Just in case you wanna check it out). Thanks for your time and consideration.

I'm downloading it right now. It'll take about two hours and it's about 3GB. I got it from Softonic. Is that a trustworthy website? I also downloaded a free Malware and Spyware Blocker and in the past 10 minutes my computer has gotten a bit faster.

It is not just your OS that counts [although that does play a big role] Often problems are caused by outdated hardware [CPU, RAM etc.] How old is your PC? I would say that you need:

A dual core processor of at least 1.7 GHZ
2GB RAM if your only running ROBLOX and not anything else [3GB+ recommended if you are running other apps]
Most graphics card's made since about 2010 should do the job on ROBLOX [remember you can turn the settings down in a ROBLOX game from the menu down the corner of the screen]

As for this Windows 7, Make sure that it's not 64 bit [should be 32 bit] and just a note you cannot go from Windows XP to Windows 7 without having to re-install Windows and your files.

Go to Start right click my computer and select properties this should give you all the information you need, however please don't hesitate to post again if you are still running into problems or have a question]

Thanks, I never knew that. I suppose it's good to know that changing my platform isn't my only option. I do have to say, after I did the previous things my computer barely lags on Roblox and I don't have to set it to settings 1 in a game anymore.

Nononono.
Don't download that, it can be something bad.

Changing the version of windows is a task that's gonna need quite a lot of knowledge.

Even if you want to change the version, you're gonna need to buy the disc and stuff, or you can pirate it, although that can get you in lots of trouble and is gonna need lots of work.


Besides, if your dinosaur of a computer is 11 years old, you better buy better graphics drivers, more ram, etc. to be able to even run Windows 7 itself (trust me, upgrading your version without the proper specs is gonna give you lots of pain, and I've felt it a lot of times), you're better off just upgrading the specs and staying with the old computer.

If you have 1 GB RAM or less, then I really suggest buying 2 or 3, it'll make the game much smoother.

If it where me I would buy a whole new PC! seriously I cannot believe that you tied gaming on that! I tried ROBLOX on what would now be a 8 year old PC and it lagged horribly and that was in 2012 right before the computer died.

[Don't take what I just said the wrong way I am just amazed!] if the PC still works I would set it up as a media/backup server, but don't even think about Windows 7 for an 11 year old.

And the HP mx705 is the monitor you have not the computer itself.

1st: get a new PC or computer
2nd: don't Skype on it because it will make roblox way more slower
3rd close ever thing befor you play roblox

I already close all tabs when playing roblox (Its my only option to reduce lag)
I got a new disk, 3 Gigs of RAM, and a driver. Overall, cost me about 52 dollars. I'm just happy that I can run roblox a little smoother.

Windows 7 is like a polished vista, it still has memory leaks and its still very slow and laggy. Put windows 8 on it, 7 is a resource hog and will only slow your PC down.

I tried to get windows 8 but it said that platform isn't compatible with windows xp. Even though I was currently using Windows 7. So I decided to just go back to my regular software (XP). And it's been pretty good since then.

I said an HP mx705 because I wanted to give you the idea of how old it is, and at the time I got it, it was a package so just search up the HPmx705 package.

It's recommended to upgrade your computer's hardware for every 5 years, this would cost mostly around $400 to $600 for a full upgrade.

Upgrade to Windows Vista, 7, or 8. It is known that XP users have more vulnerability to hackers and exploiters (keyloggers, DDoS, DoX, Brute Force, etc.)
A windows computer without services is the worst, you don't have protection or applications that can help you sustain a long lasting computer.

Actually Windows XP does have protection in some ways. For instance, the other day malware virus/money pack/spyware locked my computer and I managed to get it off. I cant say how because I think they are watching my computer... But my point is, my software is so old, hackers aren't accustomed to hacking it.
