I just use my computer for Email, surfing the net, streaming videos, nothing high tech.
My 8 year old Duel core started freezing up about Christmas time. I could not find any malware so I ended up taking it to our local computer shop.
They told me, they could check it out, but seeing as I was running Windows XP I might just want to load Windows 7 and start afresh.
It worked OK at first (just a bit slow), but soon began to Freeze again (Once taking 5 mins to view a post on BITOG)
Went back to the store only to find they are out of business!
I have taken the computer to another store and they have told me that the Hard Drive was on the way out and the computer is not worth fixing.
What to do?
How much computer (specs) do I need for what I'm doing?
If I buy a new computer can I transfer Windows 7 from my old one?
(I was told by the computer repair shop that they could do this if they were to custom build a computer for me (it would be an Acer)
Any Deals out there for a suitable Desk top computer?
