RE: Computer dead - what now?
It was about 500 Euros, but this computer is a huge upgrade to my old one, which I will repair and use it somewhere else, as I said.

Howdy again sir johannpiber! 500 Euros huh? It better be a darn good one then. How do you know if you can repair your old one? And if such a miracle happens, you will use it as a back up?
Things are more expensive here, @janton, even used computers. But yes, it is a good one 😃
I think, the problem was the harddrive. I'll install another one and the PC should run again.
I must admit, that I didn't really mind the crash, because a new PC was planned for this year anyway, just not so soon. This is, why I have bought a used computer.

So you are happy with buying a used one instead of a brand new one? You can't beat a new computer! That's a great feeling.
It is nearly new, just one generation behind. If needed I can always upgrade it for cheap money :)

Very good sir johannpiber, what operating system is it? I have Windows 10 Pro.
I have Windows 10 pro too :)
Howdy again sir johannpiber! Mrs. J had an old Windows 7 system and I just read that they were going to stop supporting and sending security updates and such...for that system. Do you know if it costs money to upgrade?
Hello @janton :)
Yes, the Windows 10 upgrade isn't free anymore.
There was a workaround with the Windows Update Assistant, which you could Download from the Microsoft Website, or you could make a clean install of Windows 10 and use your Windows 7 license key.
But I have never tried the Update Assistant, and also not the other way. I upgraded all computers when Windows 10 came out, and the computers I bought later had Windows 10 already installed.

Oh, yes, I will use it either as a backup PC or somewhere, where I might need it.

Sir johannpiber! Does the Missus have a computer also? It's probably off limits for you! lol.
No, she uses a tablet or her computer at work. My Missus is no big fan of computers.

Ok, but she has her own right?
Yes, of course, she is a separate user, like all of my family :)
Ok, she has her own but she doesn't use it much? THAT is very unusual for a female. I salute her.
She is sitting at the Computer at work all day long, and don't like it at home then, unless she needs something 😁
