If you use Chrome you can login to Google and save all your setting, which can then be imported on your new system.

Thank you so much for that, is it easy to do? Do I just log into my gmail account?

I hadn't realised until this week just how many companies there are specialising in refurbished computers -it's is quite an eye opener. I must say I would never have considered one before, but as they come with a warranty, I have decided why not.:)

I would rather keep it but it is on Windows 7 and therefore will soon be left without support:(

Ah, they either get them for free, but in some case they charge the companies for removal - two bites of the cherry. Dell etc often charge much more for support of their old stock, so new ones are often purchased especially as they have no financial worth around 4-5 years.

Yes, log in to your gmail account, then go into chrome settings and make sure syncing is turned on.

Gigarefurb's price seems OK, the other two are overpriced

To buy a genuine copy of Windows 10 is now quite expensive, plus an SSD drive.


The £169 is the total cost of the replacement computer with Windows 10 already installed, it isn't fabricated:(
