My mother-in-law gave us this computer I believe it was purchased back in 2002, it's compaq, the operating system is xp-sp3.. if this make sense.
Anyway, lately i've been getting into videos and presentations and my efforts and time-spent all futile, as my operating system is outdated or doesn't support certain types of files, plus all the viruses, junks that's accumulated over the years. The last time we brought this to the repair shop was about 5 years ago. and it cost too much money. will it be possible if i do the job, system restore the whole thing, (back to manufacturer setting), buy an operating system AND an anti-'junk' scanner/remover? I was thinking also of looking up as much programs installed here, up on the internet to verify if they're only mere games so i could uninstall them.
many thanks guys.
