Natasha Posted July 1, 2021 Report Share Posted July 1, 2021 Desktop or laptop? Spanish or English setup/keyboard? Answers will determine whether you can "wait" or not..... Mike the Computer guy built me a new desktop when mine died in January... excellent job! 376 765 4156 mail: mike@ajijiccomputing.com leaving a phone message in case he does not answer works best for me 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floradude Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Good to know about both Mike and Luis. I have a desk top and if needed do either, or both make house calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Make sure your new computer will be compatible with Windows 11. There is a particular chip required on the motherboard, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally Mike does, but has not been during CoV times. He does, however, receive desktop towers (and laptops etc) at his home in Riberas, does whatever is need, and lets you know to come and pick up. He was able to recover all my documents and photos from the fried one, and even modified Windows 10 installed to work like Win 7 for me!! As of the 3 "sad" responses to my earlier reply.... don't really understand and am confused. Did I word it poorly or ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After several months of search to replace the tower I was sold that did not work and the guy didn't care,i had it emptied and donated it to Have Hammers. Went to Computerland and they sold me exactly what I wanted [tower with windows 7] for $3500 pesos and they recommended Francisco to clone everything in my tower to it as my backup.

CHILLIN Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 I just pass on what the grapevine tells me. Windows 7 is already years out of date. Now you are looking at Windows 11. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 Gosh, Windows 7 has been around since 2009. I didn't know it was still being used, let alone being updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPanda Posted July 6, 2021 Report Share Posted July 6, 2021 There are still over a billion W7 installs, and just under a billion W10 installs. Windows 8 sucked and there was no Windows 9. So it ain't so critical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
