Aug 2017

I took the computer in and the diagnosis was that the hard drive is on its last leg. They downloaded all my files to my external hard drive. I have to figure out how to export my 'bookmarks' on Foxfire to another computer.

Now I'm looking to replace this laptop with a new one. One with WIN 10, touchscreen, solid state hard drive, essentially all the new bells & whistles to bring me into 2017 technology. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
