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

[Gracie]

Oh..and I can't recommend Staples enough! They are awesome! And will do the upgrade to Windows 10. But..like I said..I like my 7.

I don't do with this what I used to do. No ebay sales, etc. Now I just come here, read my AOL news, Yahoo news, go browse twitter, and look up addresses for places I have to go to. Hell, I can use my phone for all of that, but the screen is too small, lol.

I hear you. I have a really big screen myself. Couldn't be without it.

lol. My last screen was a 42 inch tv .

 

[Gracie]

I was going to do that. But then I decided to just buy a windows 10 laptop sometime in December.

You can probably get some very good deals! I just don't like lap tops.

I hate laptops. So..I will buy the one with the biggest monitor attached, then get my keyboard and mouse to plug in.

However, after reading this thread...I may just keep the one I'm using right now. It's an ASUS, windows 7. I love my 7.

But they said Windows 7 won't be any good after January...

They lied. It will work til doomsday..they just won't do the updates any more.

But you'll need the updates, right?

No. For what? IF I was still very busy using the pc for business...I would be concerned. But I use mine like you use yours. Games like solitaire; browsing; email. Simple stuff.

 

[Jackson]

In other words..they want people to buy a new pc. I like my ASUS. Its very old but works like a charm. And it made it thru the fire. Just like my 2001 Town and Country Van. I will NOT get rid of it, although it's very sad looking. Still runs great even with burn scars.

i hear you. Some things are just too good to get rid of.

That's big! Think mine is around 30.

I don't have it any more. It burned.
I'm using a 22 inch regular monitor now. The 32 inch tv is in my room..and my pc is so old, the adapter thingy won't work on new tvs. But...like I said...its for entertainment now and rare at that. I'm usually on my phone. Which reminds me..I should get the usmb app for it. Used to have it, but got a different phone now.

With 4K they have gotten better, but TV's make lousy monitors. Real monitors have fonts in ROM and can render text FAR more clearly than TV's can.

That's another technology I don't do. I was in the waiting room at the doctors and a man showed me how to Google! So now I am brilliant.

 

[Jackson]

I have to go watch some football...later.

 

[Gracie]

I hated learning a cell phone. HATED. IT!!!!! HATE! LOATHE!
But now I love it. When I get lost..I just google and the thingy flopper shows me where I am and where to go next. I'll never get lost again. And..I can browse. And call. And text. And play my games on it.

Get one, hon. You will love it too.

I just got a new one cuz my old one was fucked up. This one is an LG, bought at Metro PCS for $140 bucks.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Definitely cancel it, you don't need all that crap.

Yeah, you are right.

When it comes to puters most of the time he is right, but you are not supposed to tell him... Head swells up like a swollen balloon fish... He don't know it, but he is my go to guy if I have issues with my puter… He is a one man geek squad... But he doesn't do house calls...

I don't think my head could swell any bigger than it is now.






Let me close this porn page.









Okay, the swelling's going down.

Should I just buy a new computer that has Windows 10 and none of the problems I have now? And, by the way, what is Cloud?

Download emisoft and malware bytes and clean your hard drive

emisoft? Is that a foot scraper?

Uuummmmm, no.

Emsisoft Anti-Malware

Avast, Kaspersky, AVG and Bitdefender freeware versions are better, their paid versions are even better than that. Even Windows Defender scored higher in independent lab tests.

Nope, I've used the portable version works great. Then simply removed the program.
Nothing will slow his computer down more than Avast
Stay away from Avast
Besides his pc already has a problem so defender isn't working for his problem

 

[tyroneweaver]

Woe is me. No one can answer my problem.

I would use malwarebytes
and Combo fix
heres a cool video
btw, I changed from a mechanical drive to an ssd drive and my pc went from a 79 read and write to a 520.
SSD drives will last 70 years or even a 1000 because they have no moving parts

Here's a video that might help. Do like he sez. use the portable version of these download programs
The Glary Utility worked really well, but it's real aggressive.

If you say so. I've never run into that problem, hell just the opposite.

Piriform, therefore CCleaner is owned by Avast as of 2017........ They have had a couple of issues recently, one being hacked and malware added, two it became it's own malware with data collection that makes Microsoft's look tame.
Windows has it's own set of maintenance tools built in so CCleaner is not necessary. Needless to say CCleaner is no longer on any of my systems.

Yes. There is a better than fair chance your CPU is obsolete and won't handle windows 10 well.

Since you already own Windows, you dont have to buy a new computer that comes packaged with Windows 10. You can build your own, then use your windows key to get Windows 10.

Build his own? He knows how to turn it on, surf the web, play some games and few other things as long as everything is already there and working, i.e. a typical user. Wouldn't be surprised if he originally thought the optical drive was a cup holder.........

Ha, well, that was once all of us.... A little research, and anyone can build a PC, I think. And it impresses the ladies.

It's not really hard these days with everything being plug and play, that is until you run into a problem..........
