cisko65 said:Thanks everybody. I got a cable and connected my laptop to the desktop screen. It works! Hopefully it will last for a while. In the next few days I'll re-read all the comments as there are many suggestions to consider, particularly the kind offers to help recover the folders. Thanks again. Sleep tight.
Pleased you are up and running again. Try to resist the temptation to start up your old tower pc, as that could make it harder to recover the data, and it serves no useful purpose.
You will need to t replace the tower at some point, and the CEX offering you found looks suitable. Personally, I’d just buy it and get on with your life. You’ll find it lightning fast compared to the old machine.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?0 -
At least nobody has suggested installing Linux Mint!
