ok, those prices not as high anymore... but the age of things make it not worth investing unless I want to run some old favorite software. So we're on to the new cuz both drives are not repairable with repair software disks.
So a few more days and I won't need this usb stick setup.
In case anyone wants a inexpensive but fairly nice laptop... Tiger Direct or Amazon have this one I bought for 299 has Win 10 Pro and pretty decent specs with a DVD, I picked for sale price and becase it's an HP so it has nice business looks quality and has good specs. Model is HP xxx. IT WILL NOT be replacing this HP 17" business model which I used for CAD work in my shop.
NOT REFERING THE LAPTOP, WILL EXPLAIN LATER TODAY, YOU WILL ALL WANT TO HEAR THIS!!! DO NOT REFER TO WIN. 10 EITHER!!!
STAY TUNED, SEPARATE POST WITH LAPTOP TITLE AND SHOCKING NEWS, I KNOW THE SECRET!!
