My husband took all the hard drives out of computers we used and they are stored in the basement.
I have 2 external harddrives and I was going to buy another especially for the Dell.
On some of the computers that we used that still work, I get messages if I go online that Microsoft or Google has stopped or will stop supporting that version. Not crazy about the forced obsolescence.
I need to brush up to get the most use out of the equipment I have. My husband loved buying the stuff and working on it. Sometimes we'd have 4 or 5 computers online for just the 2 of us. Lol
