Windows XP was actually (believe it or not) how I first even got introduced to the OS in the first place.

Post by: MikaelaArsenault on April 09, 2018, 01:17:26 PM: I had to get rid of my old Windows XP computer a long time ago because of a virus due to a screensaver that I loved so much as a youngster.

Then came a Windows 7 computer after that. Monitor worked great for a long time, then something happened which caused the computer not turning on. Turns out that the monitor was responsible for it.

A new monitor came not long after it (still works great like a charm today), and have had that ever since then. It's an Acer at the moment.

Something very unfortunate did happen last year though. My computer got really corrupted due to having too much stuff on it and the hard drive went bye bye. Lost everything on it and tried really hard to get everything back with no luck. Lost all of my pictures, music, and videos too.

Today, I have Windows 10 and am still working on getting the stuff that I remember back. It's not easy, but I know I can try to remember what was gone.
