plonq"Quick question for you: I have an old laptop with Windows 9.3 on it, and it won't let me upgrade to Windows 10. Probably because it is too old. If I buy a new laptop and an external hard disk, would I be able to install Windows 10 on it? I don't need it for games, so that's not an issue."
Does this Windows 9.3 laptop have a picture of the Microsoft Apple on its lid?
Seriously guys, I don't mind offering tech support and assistance with computer questions because that's what friends do, but I am begging you to meet me partway on this and learn at least a few computer basics.
I guess people who know something about cars would sympathize.
"Quick question: How do I replace the carburettor in my diesel Jetta?"
"My car stopped in the middle of the block and now it won't start. The whirr thing makes noise when I turn the other thing, but that's all."
Did you run out of gas?
"How would I be able to tell?"
Apologies to the folks following me on LJ if you see this one twice, but I was having some issues with the API on DW (they made a security change and I missed the announcement).
