With all the talk about Windows 11 coming out soon, and the new hardware requirements (did you really want me to explain what a TPM module is?), I just thought you’d be best to know this…….Windows 11 is just another update to Windows10! It’s no big deal. Yes, some older computers (and not that old!) won’t be able to run it, but SO WHAT? It won’t mean anything to 99.9% of you, and 99.9999% won’t even know!

SSDs are still a bit more expensive tha old fashioned hard drives with moving parts inside…..but the good old drives do still have a use!
