Ok I bought a new computer in February brought it home put it together, turned it on and it worked great!! At least for the first two weeks. Then it happened, the hard drive was not being seen by the motherboard... Ok I have had it for two weeks, so I will just take it back.
Now that probably would have worked, but the girl behind the customer service desk didn't know what it meant to return an item, much less EXCHANGE one. Now I'm fairly easy to get along with, (my horoscope says so!) I asked to see the manager. Wasn't in. So I picked it up and brought it back home with me and decided that I would take it out to the computer fixer person.
Now I was really busy, or at least I keep telling myself that I was, so didn't get that done until the middle of October. Now I have a new hard drive and the nice man reinstalled Vista for me. Now it was holiday get ready time and so I didn't get it out and ready to go until Christmas day.
In the mean time our grandkids have come to spend a week with us and so there is no messing with the computer.
So by now, it is January 2nd and still no new computer up and ready to be working. Being totally computer illiterate, when I did get it set up I didn't click the right button so my computer kept telling me that my windows program was NOT a genuine one, so grumble, grumble, grumble, hubs takes me to the closest Wal-Mart--also the only Wal-Mart--and he buys me Windows 7. I come home and I can't get it installed, so I call my son and he comes over to help me install it, I have already opened the case so there is no going back at this point. Son clicks on button and Vista installs just fine thank you very much, but we are still getting "not genuine" message, (don't reboot machine that is the smart thing to do).
Ok so Windows 7 is installed, and I have attached the monitor, printer, and ready to get my external drive up and running---IT DOESN’T WORK WITH WINDOWS 7. That would work except that, my whole business is on there, all of my pictures, both site and family ones, all of the patterns that I have been working on, all of the kids information.
HAVE YOU HEARD OF BACK-UP? EVIDENTLY NOT!!! Or rather I did, and the back up isn’t working, so now I have to hook it into my laptop and take everything off of my ex-drive and put it on flashes and install it all that info on my “new computer”. Don’t worry I am determined, patient, and a sharp thinker (again with the horoscope) so that means everything will be up and running again (I hope). Anyway that is how the new computer is going.
Oh do I like Windows 7? Yup, so far so good
:-).
