Cathie.
(Please read my post before this one first.)
you might like to show your IT guy the following articles re optimising a pc for recording studio work.
these are from professionals. (also on gearspace.com are lots of threads on this subject or just use google.)
let me add also my own tips such as useing a processor that has a minimum rateing on cpubenchmark.net of 5000 BUT preferably a rateing of 10000 (eg i5 8400). also use pc's with solid state drives for recording.
(also if useing orchestral libs // big sample libs which you might want to get into later on cathie ssd's as well as oodles of ram in addition to a fast processor. google for more info.)
here are some optimisation links for your IT guy.
