New is Windows 11.
If you can attach (and boot to) an external drive, I’d recommend backing up what personal files you have (documents, code, photos, video, bookmark files if you can reach them, etc.)
If the drive is failing or has failed at least you can save your personal data/files from loss (possibly).
Also it will be a backup of them in case your “restore” “reinstall” or other repair fails.
When W-11 will be available to upgrade?
I like challenges and Windows frustrations LOL.
Thought I had saved my documents to a USB but when I tried to put it on the new computer, it didn’t work correctly. Can’t seem to get it into this computer and it won’t print and won’t highlight to copy. Everything is gray-ed out. Looks like I’m going to be writing it all by hand.
I’ve always been behind the fashion curve.
This has been sitting in a box for a year awaiting the impending death of my precious and beloved 7.
