How old is your computer??
The hard drive on my Toshiba Sattelite died. swapped in a new SSM drive. My Computer guy charged me $40 to format and transfer files.
The processor was always strong.
My computer is like new!!
I run Microsoft security essentials, and malwarebytes about once a month
It’ complicated but thanks for your interest.
I thought of getting anew hard drive...but the computer...it
s a genuine IBM. It’s heavy, bulky...I bought it used for a hundred bucks.
I reallty liked the thing but time for me to move on.
Just don’t know where to move on to.
