Hello,

I would like to know if there is anything in particular I should do, or watch out for, in order to install BOINC on a second machine using my present BOINC account.

I would like to install BOINC on my second computer, an aging Sony VAIO Intel Core i5-2450M CPU @ 2.50GHz, with Intel HD Graphics 3000 GPU, Installed Ram 6.00 GB RAM, running 64-bit Windows 10 Build 20226.rs-prerelease.200925-1415.

I am willing to install another 2GB of RAM to bring total machine RAM to 8GB, which I think is the maximum allowable on this machine's motherboard.

I have this VAIO machine resting on a Nobebird 5 fan cooler, with a OPOLAR second cooler attached to the computer's vent, which registers the current exhaust temperature at 80 degrees fahrenheit.

Thank you in advance for any help that can be offered.

Best Regards,

Charlie

Simple:
Install BOINC as usual.
When you connect to a project you have the other computer on log on as "existing user", use the same email address & password
And that's it.
