It will be possible to just clone that drive onto the new one. It won't be a reinstall of windows but I'm not sure why you wanted one.

How are your other devices performing now? You said they were all stalling and slow which sounded like a WiFi or connection problem but for some reason decided to upgrade the disk on the laptop maybe because the Virgin engineer suggested that. If the old one was too full it may have caused problems but could have probably be cleared of junk fixing the problem. If it was an old mechanical drive then an SSD will improve performance but there would need to be something seriously awry for a hard drive to have any effect at all on browsing or watching YouTube.

Can't you buy unpaid years or is that expensive or something you have to do before your pension is calculated.

I think so. They speak foreign.

All she's allowed is oats and hay
She only did one day
Then chucked out the hay
And then flatly refused to play

Can you take a screenshot or even just describe exactly what you see when you click that link. I just get the story page appear which I can read with no problems and no need to click anything. There was maybe a cookie permission when I fist visited I can't remember whether there was or not but there certainly isn't now.  What browser are you using? I know it won't be the same as me but I can at least try with yours.

Yes, I have still got the previous hard drive,  so I hope he can sort it when he's back from holiday late next week.

I took the dogs out, but it so muddy up the fields,  I won't be going there again until the weather improves.   Washed 8 little feet when we got back home  - much to their disgust. 

Then I called in the gym, just for some information I wanted,  then into town for the bank, Iceland, and Co-op,  and finally back home for a nice cuppa.

Remarkable 17 days lost and still alive thanks to that dog and handler.
