I have faith that the info is there because there was no damage or clanking or whizzing--it just froze, plus the Staples guy said that the drive motor just quit, so it can't spin any more.
I've started the process and ordered a new computer today. I'll look into the new version of PSE (I was on version 5) and see if there is still Paint Shop Pro out there for photo editing. Jumping to Windows 10 with new software is going to be a huge learning experience, but I'll just take it slow.
Also, definitely going to look into maybe Google Drive and cloud stuff for the future. I don't want to get burned twice.  |
Yuck to Staples!! I am not a big fan of their services and am really saddened to see that you paid so much for nothing from them
I hope the new place has a better chance and recovers all of it!!
Paint Shop Pro is still a thing!! I have it on my computer. I have 11 because I lost 12, but I just saw they came out PSP2020!!
