You can clone a disc drive yourself. The only reason mine failed was there was a seriously wrecked sector which the cloning software stalled on. However, any reasonable disc clones quite easily. Buy one new hard drive, same size, instal software, plug new drive into spare drive bay, and clone. Takes ages, but we got as far as 83% before the software stalled. My data recovery guy says that the error in question is terminal for cloning.
Anyway, very slowly regaining control of my desk, and might even be back up to full speed in a week or two.
I use my ancient Office 2007, which works fine but unfortunately Win10 does mess with it a bit. I gather if I can instal a copy of Adobe, Win10 should find it and offer save as pdf as an option. Dunno.
I looked up settings/devices (took a while to find it) and yes, there is print to pdf. Thanks hobnail. Once I've got my printer installed (last device yet to add) I'll give it a whirl. If it works, I'll be happy. The club quarterly magazine is the only thing I need pdf format for. If you want to see an example, google rrocwa (rolls royce Owners club western Australia), and in the articles section are the last two mags.
I use Paint.net now, but miss rotation by degrees. But still easier to use than most other photo programs.
Many thanks for your thoughts. I do tend to hang on to old equipment too long, because it's such a hassle updating.
