If the computer won't turn on, you'll need to get the hard drive out of it. earthshine May 2018 #2

The one with the messed up video does turn on angstlessk May 2018 #4

So, copy your files out to a flash drive, then copy the flash drive to the new computer. earthshine May 2018 #5

Swap hard drives. marble falls May 2018 #6

do you mean just a video? or the entire operating system? Dell makes you buy a new windows key. Sunlei May 2018 #7

Define "video screwed up", pls. lastlib May 2018 #8

You need to be a bit clearer, as others are saying. Denzil_DC May 2018 #9
