I awoke Saturday to the tune of an old song, 'O church of God awake,' and thought someone was having a laugh. On Sunday, I awoke with the Funeral March No. 1 going round in my head. This was less comforting. However, as I sat at my laptop a death occurred, the laptop would not switch on!
My life is in here! Nothing worked! I pushed the button, I swore, I raged, I shook it, I tried again and again but no luck, nothing worked. This meant using the spare, so there I was at 7:30 struggling to retrieve it from under the mass of stuff upon it without waking the neighbours, this failed also, and made use of the spare yesterday to attempt to work out how to fix the one with my life on it.
This morning, another attempt was prayerfully made and here I am using my life again!
All morning I have been downloading those things that I need, just in case. So much more to download. So many trivial but important items that lie on here yet are required occasionally. I may be doing this all week! Bah!
Also, this is Win 10 on here, and the spare has Win 11. Win 10, which will be dropped within a year by those pushing Win 11, is so much better to operate, so much more convenient than Win 11. Why is it that amendments to tech is always bad?
I must look towards a new laptop, one with speed and good screen. I may have a fit looking at the prices, so that might wait another year before I seek one.

What a horrible situation! I hate tech too. I try to keep as much on paper as I can and back it all up but retrieving most of it is probably a different matter!
I am actually puzzling about what the elephants represent in this post. I have obviously missed some subtle allusion. Or are they mammoths? Or do you just like the picture? questions questions...
I am not looking forward to win 11. Leo had it briefly and discarded it rapidly.
As you say, why do they make amendments which are always worse! At the moment my mailbox demands that I refresh the page if I dare open another window then try to return....
Jenny, The trick that is working for the moment is before plugging in power, I hold the button down 20-40 seconds, and so far it has begun. Long term we wait and see.
Fly, Win 11 is a mess, but Win 10. support ends 2025. So we are forced oto this. All new machines have Win 11.
The elephants represent it was the only decent picture on the spare laptop!
