I have an HP ENVY 15-k008ne laptop with these specs:
- Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5500U CPU @ 2.40GHz
- 16 GB RAM (DDR3)
- 1 TB HDD (ST1000LM014-1EJ164 SSHD)
- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 850M (4 GB), Intel(R) HD Graphics 5500 (128 MB)
I installed Fortnite and UEFN. Fortnite itself opens very slowly, and whenever I try to launch a UEFN session, it usually ends with “session expired.”
I thought maybe Fortnite was taking too long to open, so I tried opening Fortnite first and then launching the session from UEFN.
But my laptop crashed, and Windows showed a pink screen error before restarting.
Now I’m wondering:
- Is my laptop simply too old for UEFN?
- Would upgrading from HDD to SSD help significantly?
- Is the crash more likely caused by overheating/drivers/GPU issues?
- Or do I realistically need a newer PC?
Thanks.
