Thank you for your reply. I am using the HP now. Was afraid to turn it off because of the updates, but we had a power outage two nights ago and it powered back up with no problems. My husband tried the "back up/recovery" discs he had made for the Lenovo - they were made before he updated from WIN 8.1, though so we thought that may be why it didn't work. I am not sure if he had Bitlocker or not, but I know that years ago (previous WIN XP computer) he used Bit Torrent a lot. A few months ago he was streaming some movies again and I am not sure which one he used, but he removed it altogether in January. He is on the road right now and I will ask him when he calls me which one it was. Should we start shopping for a new PC, in your opinion? It would be awesome if there is a chance of saving his because I was planning to replace this HP to start fresh when I begin to work-at-home.
Is it possible to put his hard drive into this PC? This is not an all-in-one - I have a tower or case or whatever it is called these days. I am 53 and he is 59 and we used to be pretty tech-savvy until took off faster than we could keep up. Thank you for any advice.
