That's terrible! Hopefully they can restore her fully.

When I went to Windows ten.... Biting the bullet so to speak.... I waited till my computer was end of life... Then I bit the next bullet and bought a computer to be built by Startech computers... they have built my last five.... I had heard the horror stories of people trying to switch using older computers....

Outside of the user interface being a learning curve and switching off most of the data collection stuff.... I am pretty happy with its performance...

I suspect the specialist will twist a few arms.... Hang in there.

is it full?
Get one with plenty of space. I like WD passport drives

Not even close to full, I think it is a 2T. We don't really do much of anything. No movies, no massive picture library. The only things I REALLY care that it backs up is stuff like the Quicken data, my Chrome bookmarks, pictures ... and my file of way too many passwords.

Always the case. Do this "it costs less" thing first and if that doesn't work THEN we will pay for the more expensive thing. Even though the doctors don't think the "it costs less" thing will do any good.

between Quicken data and pictures can take a ton of space

 

[bruceha2000]

My Quicken data file is only 39M, my pictures are < 11G. Of course in context that IS a lot of space considering our first computer only had 512M .

My current computer's storage is 250G, 168G available.

Get a solid state hard drive... LOVE mine and a watercooling system. I have had the heat kill at least one computer.

 

[bruceha2000]

My internal drive is solid state. Wasn't sure if that is safe as a backup. Data from physical drives can usually be retrieved even if the drive as a whole kicks the bucket. Not sure if that can be done with SSD or not. Of course, one ASSUMES the backup is needed only if the primary goes south and that they won't both do it at the same time, right?

There are a lot of options for you!

A 1TB My passport for auto backup and a 32 or 64GB usb thumb drive for periodic manual backup of important files. Cloud storage like drop box is a third option and provides an off site backup if the local backup are destroyed or stolen
