In the days of old people would keep computers as long as 5 years or longer. However these days a new computer barely gets past 3 years before needing replacement – or so it seems.
You can easily get 5 years out of a computer if you buy it correctly the first time.
In fact, you most likely already own a computer that you can get a few more years out of.
Please 
I am buying new Seagate hard drive. I wold apreciate any tips you can give in the replacement process.
Thanks, Chuck
just install the hard drive and when u start the pc …place your window cd in drive and it will start scanning the drive for bad sectors before it starts installing Windows…..after u in stall windows have all drivers ready like video card driver….sound card driver…modem and network card drivers….GL
