One question...I use Yahoo for email is it safe? I take from your post you're no fan? I got shot of ccleaner just before my pc crashed fataly.
Oh, and welcome back

Hey thanks Phil, Yea well working all week on computers i have no desire to come home and sit in front of one. I have begun to pick up my guitar again and of course I have to logon to chordie at the end of a long work week. I have used yahoo for as long as i remember tearing open a pc to see what makes it run. Yes yahoo has been compromised several times and like i said i got hit not to long ago on yahoo. my email got taken over. and i was being hit constantly by someone or maybe bots trying to access my email. I had my cryptocurrency tied to my yahoo email and someone kept sending me access codes desperate to get at it. I wrote down all my sites that i do want emails coming in to me and I signed up with outlook.com. I ended my yahoo account. Oh and i found that whoever was trying to get at my email had managed to get to my email settings and security and added themselves to the do not block list. Hence i couldn't change my own password cuz they had access. luckily with some digging i found the setting in the security section of yahoo and removed them form the do not bock list and changed my password. I took all my family off of yahoo and put them on gmail since it's more user friendly. I made new passwords for everyone. And ccleaner yea just don't use it. Actually a pc does not need to be cleaned out with third party cleaners. there is integrated software within windows that can help you clean out your pc. And of course watch what sites you and your family are going to. I would say we just don't know if when yahoo got compromised your email was in that list. These crooks buy email lists in bulk so they can set their bots to just attack the whole list.

I really like the Geek Thread Idea or just a PC help thread of sorts. If you use a Mac good luck your on your own. Overpriced hunks of Junk. I work in I.T. and the look on peoples faces when I tell them just the price of a new logic board, or a keyboard replacement. Their hearts sink because they paid almost the same price as the replacement parts. The new "M1 iterations" OMG, every component is integrated onto the logic board, so you can't replace the memory or replace the hard drive. it's the whole logic board which is basically the whole mac. Or just ask if your facing some sort of computer issue, I'd be glad to try to troubleshoot with the chordie community. One disheartening thing and i hope no one is still doing. don't install ccleaner anymore. it is a Russian application and was and is compromised. It is capable of taking your information. Uninstall asap and run Malwarebytes asap. I got compromised a month ago and good lord it's a hassle once someone takes over your email. I used yahoo because i was sure i was a tech and i knew what to look for, just forgetting that my family doesn't know to look at the header of an email to make sure it is coming from the correct address. It sucks!!!!!!!! Finally got everyone off yahoo and onto gmail and i like outlook. changed everyones passwords from "myname&birthdate@eztarget.com" LOL. Feel free to ask for advice. For my Chordie Fam!!!!

In most cases it is possible to change the motherboard without reinstalling Windows 10, but that doesn't mean it will work well. To prevent any conflicts in hardware, it's always recommended to install a clean copy of Windows on your computer after changing to a new motherboard

But its all good info and my grandkids can learn from it, so keep it coming. I'm just an old man on a mountain tryin to keep from falling off.

Ditto and I still do not have a cell phone. I can take a car apart and restore it but I can not figure out software. I get lucky sometimes!

Driver conflicts can be issues in any software installation, but I personally shy away from "aftermarket" driver search tools in favor of going directly to the operating system source for "certified drivers" that are less likely to not play nicely with your OS of choice (ie: Microsoft for Windows, Apple for IOS, Canonical for Linux), Another reason to always go to the verified source and run the "Compatibility Tools" feature (especially in Windows) to be sure your hardware is fully supported in the version you are installing (or wait until updated drivers are provided by them) before jumping onto the latest/greatest iteration of the Operating System.

Specifically to Windows 10.... I'm still waiting for all the issues to be ironed out before migrating my 7 and 8.1 systems over. For everything not "touch-centric" Linux is my flavor of choice and preference.,, for the stuff I do these days. I do remember the time when you ran a Mac if you were doing lots of stuff that was mostly graphics (because all the best software was Adobe and ran best on Apple hardware), and PC with Windows if most of your work was word processing and number crunching. Who remembers Kaypro, and all that kickin' engineering software for determining structural stress, and heat loads, in Cobol and Unix??? Didn't think so.....

I too am becoming an "artifact" it seems.

Doug - Good, easy enough to understand, info about the different hard drive types. I thought the hybrid drive wasn't really a big deal. I know I can add WAY more RAM than I should ever need and devote a portion to cache. As I was reading about them, that's pretty much what I thought. I still question if, for what I do, an SSD would make a big difference to me or not. But like you, I don't have unlimited money. I like to use my external hard drives as back up as well, not as the main source and if I'd have gone the SSD route, it wouldn't have been pretty. A SMALL SSD drive costs near as much as a HUGE standard hard drive.

Again, good info. Thank you!

OK!! a huge thanks to Amy and Doug, after downloading Malwarebytes and C Cleaner I did some house cleaning in the registry and browsers my boot time went from around 5 minutes to.......wait for it....................1:20 sec.!!!! I dumped the slow loading Avast and took Amy's advice and stopped some programs from loading at the start my new anti virus is the free PANDA and Malwarebytes I only hope it stays this way at least I know it isn't the video card just some unnecessary bloatware that can be used when called upon

Whoo hoo! I'm glad that worked, Russell! 1:20 to boot up doesn't sound too bad... especially comparing it to 5!
