Hi
Last week I was in Staples where I saw a laptop for sale someone had stolen the hard drive so it was reduced in price. I managed to negotiate to less than half price.
A while ago my Lappy went belly up so thought I'd just put the hard drive from that into the new one.
I did that and all the program's worked.
Here's the problem: the drivers are all the wrong ones so no Internet at all and the sound and webcam are iffy.
The new Lappy is 64bit and HP don't supply 32bit drivers for it.
the Lappy is a HP Pavilion G6 using the Amd A6 processor.
I've downloaded Windows 64bit but have been told it has to be installed on a clean HD. I don't want to format the HD and lose all my programs
Anybody amongst our illustrious crowd got any ideas.
Sorry for waffling on
