If your computer freezes or has problems starting up, sometimes it offers the option to reset to factory conditions, or it will ask you to choose a restore date, and then resets everything to that date (unless it picks a date for you, usually a few days previous to the current date). That would work to fix any damage done by a virus if you had gotten one somehow. If you are running Windows 10, you do not have to worry about backing up all your personal files, because you can do a factory reset without losing any of your files such as images, videos, or documents. You might lose all your bookmarks, though.
Darlene! Happy Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!
I was sorry to hear of all the stress you experienced preparing for holiday visitors. I hope you got everything ready in time, and are able to enjoy this special time of year with loved ones in a peaceful, relaxed way. Wishing you an awesome day and a wonderful year!
Thank you, Magenta.
I tend to have a lot of images on my computer, so I lost a lot of stuff, but most of it was not personal, just things I had found while looking for specific images online Most of my personal photos are on a disc to start with. I was very pleasantly surprised after getting Windows ten not to lose any personal files when doing a factory reset I had clicked on an image link somebody posted on one of the forums here and my laptop went kaput 
External hard drives are handy I use one at work to transfer images from the network to my computer, or vice versa Anything that takes up a lot o space on your computer that you do not access often would probably be better stored on such a device. Your computer may run better as a result My daughter uses one to transfer movies from her computer, so she can plug in the device to the TV to watch whatever it is she has saved, and still keep her computer at arm's length, where it always is It is either that, or her phone Even when we are watching movies, she will be surfing at the same time, often looking up info relevant to the show. She sometimes loses interest in something we may be watching because she reads what people say about it, and knows the ending is not good LOL

Right now and for the last while I have been having problems with my Ethernet card, meaning, I keep disconnecting from the internet, and have to take steps to rectify the situation, which sometimes includes restarting my computer when all else fails, such as I just did now
Something that I hate is the "stop being lazy, go out and get a job and stop complaining" attitude many people have about young people when we complain about the economy and not having enough money. First of all you sound like an a-hole and second you completely lack any form of empathy while think it's easy to just make money,.

I disagree with that statement. I too, am young and have been told the same things...however they did not understand my family circumstances did not enable me to go to college or get a job outside of the home. These "people" you are talking about have been your age and know exactly what it feels like and are not being rude. Young people need to remember that the older generations know what they are talking about and they have wisdom to share if you are willing to listen to it....its called maturity

And things are definitely different these days both culturally and economically. Our parents and grandparents very often got the jobs they wanted immediately after school or college, but that's often not the case for young people today.
I had a job like that once that was my total life. My younger brother asked to attend his wedding (first marriage ended in divorce). I told him that I wasn't going to be able to do that due to my responsibilities and missing out on overtime. So I made him a deal. If he gave me a pass for not being at his second wedding I would absolutely be at his third wedding. Second marriage was a disaster also. Ten years later I kept my promise and attended his third wedding. They have been happily married for 20 years and their son just graduated from high school and is now attending college. There will be no forth wedding.
