Computer hell.

Posted on October 22, 2017 by luckyotter

This won’t be long because I hate typing on a smartphone. I’ll explain more when my computer issues are resolved, but the shop has had my 5 year old laptop for a week and it looks like whatever the problem is may not be fixable and I may have to buy a new one. So it might be another week before I can post again. Hopefully not.

  It isn’t — I just got a new one but have to set it up, transfer all my files, etc.

    One of my tricks for when that happens is to keep a copy of all files (synchronized files, not a compressed backup/restore snapshot) on an external USB drive or stick. I learned about dying hard drives the hard way.

Oh, I hate when that happens. I’ve had to replace some computers over the years and it can be costly and it always happens at the most inconvenient of times.

I had to replace my laptop several months ago, too, because Windows 10 screwed it up. But the new one works great–even with Windows 10! Hope things turn out for you.

Whether you have a new laptop or, by some chance the old one, it will all be good. Either new or newly reconciled for a little more life. Either way, you’ll have the best possible at that time just for you. I have been at those crossroads now, just try to pry me from my desktop….

Don’t know if, you have Windows 10. It is unfortunately a big back step in the OS market. Wouldn’t it have been nice if MS recognized the greatness of XP, and kept building on that framework? Just a side thought as we speak about the new, and the not so new computers,

  XP was great. I have Windows 10 now. The old computer had 8.1.
