Welcome to the forum! 1. Trouble shooting is our nature. Don't be afraid, it is quite easy. 2. No need to reset everything if anything goes wrong 3. I don't thinks there is any perceivable difference, just do what is most conveinient. 4. I have Win 10 and it runs great for me.

1) Yes
2) Yes. A fresh install isn't always the best option most of the time, since removing a problematic mod is often simpler. Going through your third question shows that installing mods gradually helps identify which ones cause issues.
3) Varies. I tend to add mods in fives for stability, but for essential updates like SKSE I install one by one.
4) No.

Starting off is great. Understanding what you've spent money on is key in PC gaming. Fixing issues comes into play. Save your game files (copy them elsewhere) and then apply the mod. If needed, restore from backup.

3. Add mods at your convenience. Just follow the guidelines; some may need extra steps.

I'm also using Windows 10. Make sure you check all the settings in the Win10 menu (there are a few important ones to turn off). Things like peer-to-peer updates, privacy options, and auto-joining hotspots are covered. Please share your PC's specifications if you'd like advice.

Upgrading to a better machine would work well—consider an SSD upgrade and replacing the power supply. It should run smoothly with Windows 10.

*think you are trolling so read this with sarcastic tone* Nothing wrong its the best console ever. I just love dropping $110 for pickmin 3 and smash Bros. And the holiday titles this year (kiss fingertips and toss away) Bellisimo! with that new star fox and zelda U. *now being serious*. The only big problem is the extremely limiting online multiplayer (I have no friends) Even if they managed to push more than 10 million consoles. I think they max at ten players playing one game (or maybe 8) I think the Wii U would be a good cabin console. just buy physical games and play with your family on a vacation.

It's an enjoyable activity, mainly focus on fixing things without stressing about damage. The goal is to alter and reassemble, similar to "hacking the game." It can be slow if things don't cooperate, you may need to revert and tweak certain mods, but it's a valuable learning process. Modding Skyrim using Nexus Mod Manager is straightforward, though you might encounter crashes initially. There are helpful guides to follow, making it quite accessible. It enhances the game by letting you tailor it to your tastes. Patience, time, and determination are key to getting it running smoothly.

Modding Skyrim can be quite challenging. Pay attention to the Torturials and allow yourself some time. It has a steep learning curve, but you'll get the hang of it.

This process was really frustrating. However, my game appears fine. It’s not worth the effort from my perspective. The only reason I managed anything was because nexusmm is quite user-friendly. I’m still unclear about which mods are installed and which are active. To be honest, having more than two mods makes it hard to understand what’s happening. Perhaps I’d enjoy modding a game other than Skyrim. Skyrim is already problematic out of the box. I even suspected my mods were causing issues with adding an alchemy table in my breezhome—10 hours lost, nothing related to mods, just the game’s inherent bugs. Facepalming.
