Help is my PC good enough to run modded skyrim?

Wait, are we talking about your "to be" repaired desktop now or the laptop? Cause only the desktop is upgradeable, but you didn't mention the specs of it yet.

When I'm away for work (can't take my desktop gaming rig), I use an HP 15 that has an A10 with 768MB integrated R5 and 8GB Ram. Before this and prior to getting my desktop, I ran a modded Skyrim on a 5 year old Acer laptop with an A6 and 512MB integrated HD6520G graphics with 6GB Ram - just have to reduce some textures/mods to suit and enable a stable run - only had about 120 mods on that.

I run Skyrim via MO with around 200 mods on the HP and it runs reasonably well. Have to keep the detail to medium, and turn shadows to lowest and lay off the high texture mods, but with ICBINE4 (available here on Nexus) it still looks and runs well enough to keep me going until I'm home again!

 

Turn off the cloud saving ability (or select local saves in MO) to prevent loading wrong saves for the weaker system. I have a PC/playthru that only gets dusted off when I'm away from home lol.
