So, this past week my computer decided that it no longer liked Windows. Long story short, it didn’t matter what I did to try to fix it Windows would not load. Luckily I keep a copy of Linux on a DVD laying around for when problems like this pop up. This meant I was able to get onto my laptop and copy everything over to this external hard drive I bought not too long ago (funny how that works out) Now I could’ve just reinstalled Windows and called it a day, but where’s the fun in that? I’ve been meaning to get a desktop that has more processing power and whatnot than my laptop so video editing would be a little easier. I got extremely lucky and Best Buy had a great deal on a Gateway desktop with an Intel i5, 8gb RAM, and 1TB hard drive. So I’ve got this guy up and running now and definitely can’t complain. As for the laptop, it’s going to get a fresh install of Linux and will be used for browsing the internet. Of course this means I’ve finally upgraded to Windows 7 also.
