Yes she does and the guy who owns the local computer just called because my wife stopped in to see about a new computer for an anniversary gift to me for our 48th. She was telling Scott about my problems and I just got off the phone with him and he offered to completely make my HP new for 130.00 all inclusive with the exceptions of the hard drive, if need he would replace it for $20.00.
I new his Dad very well he was an alcoholic and I spent a considerable amount of time helping his family as best I could. Scott said he wished he could do it for free but he has a new partner and it wouldn't fly to well with him.
Do you think that is a good deal or what?

Boggin:
Including the C$20 for the HDD that works out at just short of £81

If that includes putting Win 7 back on or if he is going to restore it with a bought HP OEM install so that it will be as out of the box, then that sounds very reasonable.

It cost me ~£41 for a bootable Toshiba OEM Recovery flash drive.

Have you asked him how he is going to do it ?

As your wife is planning to get you a new one for your wedding anniversary, will you really need this one refurbishing, or do you just want it back up and running for old times sake and as a back up machine ?

munchie2222:
I don't want the new one, its a waste of money if the old guy can be fixed, there are things my wife wants that I would prefer she put the money into and it will be for the both of us. Yes he will put my computer back to original condition same as he did when I purchased I purchased it from him. Recover files from HDD, all third party software, ready to use and I trust him.

Boggin:
I would go for that then and how very thoughtful of you.

While you may still be able to get hold of Win 7 machines, the ones that are on the shelves are more likely to be Win 10 with perhaps the odd Win 8.1.

munchie2222:
I will still wait for the disks you sent and a least give them a shot, after all you were good enough to send them and I want to try them just to see if I can learn something.
It's not really thoughtful but a mater of reality, we have Joanie's computer, the Samsung Tablet so we honestly don't need to spend money so I can have a new computer. We are going to buy new lawn furniture for the pool yard and a new BBQ.
Will let you know when the disk's arrive and have a great weekend.
