Quote from: klondike on Today at 05:43:49 PMCan 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.

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.
