My main computers gone a bollix. So it looks like I gotta stick it in for repair. I currently use and like Windows 7. I doubt they will still install 7 these days. So what's the alternative for a computer numpty. :chitown:

go for win 10 pro - run shutup10 and classic shell
You can go on Ebay and get Windows 7 for peanuts, with the COA.

This is Thailand. I've never seen a genuine Windows.
The round window
In the long of it, might be much more beneficial to just purchase a new computer......go from there.
Mate, can you expand on that please?
I've no other real option then to run Win10 ... and I don't like it.
Like most others, liked Win 7.
I understand the concept of running it as a 'Classic Shell' ... but what is 'shutup10'?
Links on how and why, if you have the time?
Thanks
You don't like it because you haven't learned enough about it to realise it's streets ahead of Windows 7.
You probably had the same angst about moving from Windows XP.
While you're at it...

Microsoft will soon consign Windows Vista to the dustbin of history. In April 2017, the life of one the worst versions of Windows ever released will come to an end. At which point you’ll have to downgrade to Windows XP, or upgrade to Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10. Pick your poison!
Windows Vista will die on April 11, 2017, at which point Microsoft will pull all support for the much-maligned operating system. So, if you’re running Vista, the time has come to upgrade to a newer version of Windows. Something you should have done a long time ago, to be perfectly honest.
Linux is the best windows

Ebay looks the way to go. But in saying that I'll just get it as a back up for now. I've done something with my computer and I've started getting 'Window 7 Updates'. Never happened before, no matter how I tried. Currently 280-ish updates installing at this moment.Quote:

However if you have a desktop tower that's a hack job.
Is an All in One a laptop or a PC?Quote:

MS uses a hardware signature to license Windows; the most common change that stops it working is the motherboard.
And you can't move an OEM license.
Most of these dodgy licenses on the interwebs are nicked EA licenses, and all they check for is the license count used.
I've only ever had laptops for the last 15 years and used pirate bay copies the OS checks the motherboard signatures are correct and it installs Either use your cd key on the lappy or the right one in the list according to your manufacturer and OS you select .
Your not moving a licence your creating a new one or if he's registered on that OS reinstalls the same OS with now hardware changes he's obtaining his old one.
You still don't understand how licensing works.
If it has an OEM copy and a key on a sticker on the PC, that will always work on that PC OR Laptop. It will get its knickers in a twist if there is a significant hardware change.
If you use a stolen EA key, which you probably are if you are getting them off TPB, that will install on anything; it doesn't use hardware signature, only used license count, which it gets from the owners EA account.
No fucker ever checks these, although the owner should do so regularly because of cheapskates like you.
This a lappy/ laptop /note book

All in one is it like this?

Yes it is.
He's not doing a hardware change FFS.
All laptops come with a licence of windows.
It doesn't matter what cd you use to reinstall it checks at Microsoft not Electronic Artist AKA E,FUCKING.A acount.
I've changed mine to SSD and Samsung actually give you a cd to clone the drive then install replace hard drive in my lap fucking top.
Trust me I have done this more times than Slutty pants has fucks on all his tours to Thailand.
