[QUOTE="davemurgtroyd, post: 975469, member: 319227"] My only fully functional modern PC at present is a W 8.1 laptop. My other laptop I have just reinstalled w 7 on a new HDD but it needs the keyboard replacing (which I already have) and my desktop (probably going to be W 10 / Linux dual booting from SSD) is in various boxes at present waiting construction. I have been building computers for over 35 years - my first was a Forth based Z80 Jupiter Ace ( I still have 5 unused bare circuit boards for these and could possibly copy the ROM from mine to EEPROM if my programmer attached to ZX81 is still working). The desktop is my first build project for 10 years (been to busy as a full time carer for my late father). I have at least a dozen desktops in my shed that were working when stored ranging from my first PC I built a 200 MHz Pentium 2 up to an AMD 2000 plus at least a dozen storage boxes of various cards (ISA and PCI), drives and memory sticks all over 10 years old. Friends and neighbours used to give me their old PCs and components when I upgraded theirs. Also been using modems on BBS and later the web for 34 years starting with a ZX Spectrum with 1200 b/s download and 75 upload. I still have install discs for every version of Windoze fro Windows 2 onwards. So a reasonable amount of experience tinkering with PCs . [/QUOTE]
