Me again. This time Windows 10 problem...What do I do now?

[Street Juice]

No you don't but that's up to you.

Here's one that's most likely perfect for you. It's a mini tower and the hard drive is HDD as opposed to the faster SSD (solid state) but it's 2 TBs with 8 gigs of RAM. You can get the 3 year protection plan from Amazon for an extra $50.

I was just reading a about a Dell and it said .01 centemeter screen. Isn't that tiny? Wonder if we were looking at the same one. That does sound good except that screen thing Oh wait. No. I don't want a refurbished computer. I want a new one, not someone elses problem.

Don't know what you're referring to with the ".01" but as for the refurbished, it's no longer a problem. All my laptops are refurbished Dells and work perfectly, I build my own desktops.

I would get one YOU refurbished, but still not sure of soemine else.

It was an option, if you're against it you're against it. Also when it comes to Office you'll most likely be able to transfer it to the new computer, you can download it from Microsoft as long as you have the product key. If not LibreOffice is just as good and it's free.

Libre office? Where do I get that?

Also Open Office is free. I've been using it for years - spreadsheet, word processing, etc. I've refused to use Excel (which sucks anyway) ever since they used their bully power to put Lotus 1-2-3 under--the best spreadsheet ever. You could write macros right in the cells, analyze data in three dimensions (a z-axis Microsoft still can';t do).

First yeah like someone said you can still use window 7. heck on one of my computers I still have window XP

There just won't be any updates which is what I really hate about Windows

You can upgrade to windows 8.1

If I remember correctly upgrade to window 10 was free, it still should be just go to Windows website and see if its available


If your tired of windows you can up can upgrade to any of the open source products like Ubantu and the other flavors which are mostly free

But hey if you really want to buy a new computer

go for it

So you think Windows 10 would be free? I would still need someone to put it on my computer anyway, though. I am so technology challenged, it isn't funny. I also has a stroke and can't see out of my left eye, although they eye shots are helping.

Okay. My computer would be 64 bit, right?

 

[Wyatt earp]

Woe is me. No one can answer my problem.

I just did, kinda sorta. Only you can really answer your problem, only you can decide whether to try and upgrade or buy a new computer.
I can tell you the easiest method with the least amount of possible problems is to just buy a new computer. That said what do you primarily use it for?

All I use the computer for is making forms, doing crossword puzzles, reading Drudge and the message board. I like to look things up, but like I said, it's hard with Google. Think I may have Google Chrome. I play some games but not gaming stuff that you have to buy. Just Majohng, solitaire andcrossword puzzles. And lots of Amazon,

Adorable

Think I am missing something. Went to Newegg and found desk computer tower...$64.00 "Bare bones....

 

[Deplorable Yankee]

I have Windows 7. When I bought my computer, I refused to get Windows 10 because I was used to 7. So now I hear I have to change to Widows 10 in January.

I was looking at new computers and then a bright thought came into my head...Get Windows 10 and load it in MY computer. Does that make sense? My computer freezes a lot...maybe that will help. But my knowledge is next to nil, so I thought I would have Geek Squad come out and do it for me. What do you think?

I googled "Geek Squad" and can't get an authentic Geek Squad contact. I hate the browser because that always happens. They give you ads instead of what you asked for. But, I digress...I just need some help.

Once again I am posting to you on a $20 dollar computer, that you cant trace. ..

Bare bones means exactly that, a partially assembled or unassembled kit with just the basics, you buy and install what you want in it.

How do you get a $20 computer?

First yeah like someone said you can still use window 7. heck on one of my computers I still have window XP

But hey if you really want to buy a new computer

So you think Windows 10 would be free? I would still need someone to put it on my computer anyway, though. I am so technology challenged, it isn't funny. I also has a stroke and can't see out of my left eye, although they eye shots are helping.

I meant that it was free for awhile

Microsoft announced that the Windows 10 free upgrade offer would end on December 31. 2017
Then there was another deal that ended in Jan 2018

Now it will cost you 119 but there are ways but if you got to be really computer literate

That leaves me out completely.

 

[Kilroy2]

Also if you still have the window 7 disk you can just reinstall windows 7 or refresh it and that might get you back to when it was new.

Just save all your personal documents and photos on a removable disk

You will have to reinstall any program that wasn't bundled with windows

You could run disk fragmentation and deleted junk files you no longer need

Still it is just putting off the inevitable

bump it up to windows 8.1 appears to be free

Download Windows 8.1 Disc Image (ISO File)

follow the instructions and if all else fails you should be able to revert back to windows 7

 

[toobfreak]

What do I do now?

Cut your losses, bite the bullet and buy a Mac, then run Windows in the background as an app using Parallels.

 

[Bleipriester]

I love it.

Can I use it as a clay pigeon?

I don´t know if the hardware supports FPS games.
