My Vista desktop has been playing up again, running realy slow, crashing and having trouble starting up Windows. I'd had enough so I bought a new hard disk today along with Windows 7. (about ?150 all in)
Fortunately I had a second PC working so that I could look online to see how to access and remove the drive casing so that I could change the drive. Would have been stuffed otherwise. Anyway, turned out to be very simple (as most things are once you know how) I then installed Windows 7, surprisingly easy and a damn sight quicker than Vista. It promptly downloads an update!
I been adding printer drivers and Office, configuring the internet (it comes with explorer) and now I have, to all intents and purposes, a new PC.
