Laptop advice *urgent*

[langy71]

Just a quick pointer,
be wary of any system that says it runs on windows 10 S,
From what i gathered when my laptop went the way of the dodo, Windows 10S is an app based version of the original windows 10 OS, which will only run programs from the Windows/Microsoft store, it may not cause you any issues, but i prefer to get any programs i use from where i want to, not where Microsoft say i will.. If i wanted that in a laptop i'd have bought a macbook....lol

TBH i only use the laptop for surfing the net, spotify and MS Office. So nothing really taxing.

While its IT time, a silly question

Have a new PC coming, have to load microsoft office 2019 in it. Do i load this first and then the word / powerpoint docs etc from the old PC??

You don't need office to store office files, just to open them, so you can transfer files at anytime.

It's the Dragon/CyberHobby StuG III Ausf. F

I used to take my LapTop into work and get IT to install MS Office, now I no longer work for the council I just make do with OpenOffice.

Me too the college use to have a very helpful IT gang but they were laid off and went to tender.

If you need StuG stuff just ask Karl

I retired 6 years ago, and the one thing I miss is the IT department.
Oh, and the fish and chips in the canteen on Fridays.

You were paid to much lol. The new college has no canteen just a shop, subway and a very small hot food counter. Really miss the bacon and egg cobs!!
