Computer start up / shutdown

[Rise]

I'll give it a go. If it doesn't work, do I need to transfer all my files to a seperate hard drive first?

If you have files that you would like to keep then yes.

Ok thanks. Could you recommend a good secondary hard drive. I would need about 300 gb of space on it.

Would now be a good time to upgrade to windows 8.1?

 

[johnb35]

Well if you like the new 8.1 then go for it. If not, get windows 7. Get any Western Digital or Seagate drive.

 

[Rise]

Ok. Thanks for the help and advice over the past weeks weeks.

If you go WD get a black or RE4 drive.

 

[Rise]

excuse my ignorance but what does the RE4 do extra compared to a normal ex hard drive?

 

[johnb35]

RE 4 is high performance drive for servers/workstations. You really only need a caviar Black drive with 64mb cache and 5 year warranty.

I can only find that in an internal drives. Do they do it in external?

 

[Agent Smith]

Buy an internal and get an external drive adapter case.
