Computer won’t start

I'm about to connect my external hard drive with my back up on it, can anyone explain how I can back up to it the quick way as opposed to doing a complete back up every time, it takes ages!

Should I start a new thread for this?

Of course your old back-ups may not work on your new installation.

Of course if you were just using the built in function of Windows 7, you can continue with Windows 10; https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/4027408/windows-10-backup-and-restore

That will still work with your old back-ups.

+1 for File History which provides a real-time backup of your docs and pics; Windows10 is so easy to reinstall it almost makes system image backups redundant (unless you use lots of non-Microsoft programs which would otherwise be a pain to reinstall...)

I just opened one of my saved word docs and it does not display as it should, it opened in wordpad, is that the Windows 10 version of Windows 7 word?
Is there a way I can format it to the older version?
I have quite a bit of stationary which I created in old word for my business such as quotes, invoices, letterheads, work sheets etc.

It says:

Wordpad does not support all of the features of this document's format. Some content might be missing or displayed improperly

I just tried to open one of my publisher files and it won't open, all of the publisher files are showing with an "e" icon for internet explorer!?

I used publisher to create all sorts of stuff for my business like adverts, logos, van signage etc.

It just adds a bit more power to your Graphics capability and takes some of the strain off the CPU. But it seems you don't need the extra capability and to be fair, it(the graphics card) isn't that great anyway.
If you needed greater graphics capability, such as for Full HD video editing, you can buy a better graphics card for between £10(second hand) and £30 (new)

I was just browsing and catching up with stuff online, a few tabs open and one site I was on had ads all over it, It started to get a bit laggy and slow in response, is this the sort of thing I might need another graphics card for alongside the inbuilt one?

I think i might buy one and fit it while I still have the computer open especially if they are as cheap as you say.

Is there a certain type that I need for my computer or will any graphics card fit?

Any suggestions please?

Should I just throw the old one in the bin?
