My computer didn't start this weekend. It's OK now, but what's is my next step.
I turned on my computer Saturday night, went to get a cookie and some water, when I came back it was frozen on the Windows logo. These things happen, I powered it down, waited a few minutes, and powered up, selected "start normally", got to the Windows logo and and it froze. OK, try again, this time select "safe start." No good. This triggers the "Oh my god, I haven't backed in a long time" fear. It didn't help that we recently remodeled, which means off the computer stuff (like restoration disks and the back up hard drive) are in a box... somewhere.
I was lucky, tried rebooting a few more times... and it's working now. Yea!
But now the question. This is about a ten year old Win7 machine. So maybe get a new machine? Obviously, the new machine will be Win 10. I guess I could just take the old HD out and install it as a second HD on the new, but will the programs I run now still run on the new? Off the old HD? Move them to the new and hope they'll run? Is there some sort of utility that moves what's needed? I know I don't have most of the install disks I originally had. |
