Computer Help and Support

Than the 286s I started learning on - even laptops. I'm at the point I no longer build my own computers, but I do select the components and pay someone to assemble them. I don't have time now that I am retired to keep up with the technology, LOL.

For the last twenty years just about every computer component is plug and play so the most complicated part is keeping track of all the parts and how they go back together. YouTube and the Support section of the computer manufacturers are great resources.

I think getting a new laptop, then pulling the hard drives out of the old ones to transfer data might be a good routes. Of course, if you can clean or replace the fan on the HP, you could use it as a backup computer.
