    Advice on buying a computer needed.

    lol, yeah that's a bit lame but this is what you get in the budget end. The load will be less than 200w with that processor, no dedicated graphics and a couple of disks, so I'd imagine 250 is ample. Probably a bit moot :)

    Advice on buying a computer needed.

    Whilst I know where you are coming from, this is miles away from what the OP is going to need. Based on my experience of understanding people's tacit requirements ;) (he doesn't want to learn an entirely new operating system, get new office apps, learn them, etc etc. I appreciate it's easy -...

    Advice on buying a computer needed.

    My Surface Pro is the best computer I've ever purchased. Ditched my MacBook, ditched my Lenovo laptop, ditched all my note pads and pens. Take all of my meeting notes etc on OneNote, I love it. So sad :) Although I've got an awesome PC in the office for more heavy duty work (that's how I'm...

    Advice on buying a computer needed.

    Viruses can absolutely cross disk partitions, although in practice you are spot on, why would they bother. If it's malware to get at your files, then a partition isn't going to help unless you've set permissions such that you can't access the files whilst logged on either. I'm with you on the...

    Advice on buying a computer needed.

    Garage_Doors I'd buy I new one if I were you as well, given how cheap they are nowadays. That machine is great value and will be light years ahead of your current one, you may be able to find cheaper actually, but I'd be happy with that. If you do shop around, as long as you ensure you get an...

    Advice on buying a computer needed.

    I would always recommend operating system and applications on the SSD and data on a decent HDD. A huge SSD is still expensive and things like photos etc are of marginal benefit on the SSD. They cannot really 'move' your installation of Windows to another disk, so it's a reinstall job. Your...

    Advice on buying a computer needed.

    perseus You can get lots of different cases, but the different ones are based on the form factor of your equipment (your motherboard specifically). I'm assuming you'll be using standard ATX if you've already got the equipment from an old machine. You'll be limited if this is what you've got...

    Advice on buying a computer needed.

    You are right on the edge of whether it's better to replace your system, or just get a new drive. That machine has a SATA 1 controller and likely won't support NCQ (AHCI I cannot be certain) - two technologies that will make a big difference on your SSD performance. You could get a separate...

    Advice on buying a computer needed.

    Garage_Doors Depending on how well the guys that build your machine did their job, you might have a recovery partition on your machine - meaning you don't need a disc. Can you please go to your disk management console in windows and see if you have a partition called 'Recovery Partition' or...

    Advice on buying a computer needed.

    Undoubtedly your PC should be able to cope, but it's going to be a bit of a hassle for you to get it sorted if you aren't already savvy. If you aren't up for that then it's probably easier to just grab one from PC World, or online. I'll put a few links up at various prices when I get home, if...
