| I've just put a new hard drive into my laptop.
Admittedly, it's not that new. I've had it for ten years but I've barely used it, whereas my normal hard drive has had eight years of continuous use and I think it's on its last legs.
This one does seem to be running noticeably faster and quieter. _________________ |

| Trouble is, it's only got Lunix Mint on it, so I can't use my printer with it. Does this mean I'm going to have to shell out for a new printer? _________________ |

No, it's an old style, spinny one. _________________ |

Wouldn't that cost me money? _________________ |

| No, you can download it for free, and use the number off your sticker that's attached to the laptop to register it. And if you don't have that, something like: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Windows-7-Ultimate-Key-download-Link-Activation-Key-1-PC-Fast-Delivery/392698785262 Must be legitimate if they're selling it on eBay. |

| Sure you can't try Windows 10? That doesn't need registration, it's just you can't change the wallpaper if you don't. |

| My laptop's not up to Windows 10. It could barely cope with Windows 7. As Windows 7 is no longer supported, I assume that any version of that I can get is dubious. I shall just put the old hard drive back in if I need the printer, until I have the money for a new printer. _________________ |

| Wouldn't you better saving up for a new computer? It's been 10 years since Windows 7 came out. And at least 8 since even the cheapest most cost efficient potato PC that came out that would have any trouble running it.

About time the 'old school' was knocked down, judging by how ignorant everyone is who says they went there. _________________ ' "Haven't got houses." Where do they live then?'
