My new Processor arrived today and your tips about not installing my printer, other devices or software until I get my info from the old hard drive entered into the new processor is really helpful. I probably would have started to do that first off and made a mess of it..

I'm going with your suggestion to let the Tech Service Group do all that instead. Makes sense. The group I'm using did a good job for a friend of mine who had a crash and needed her files transferred. They even got rid of some of the extra junk Windows & HP load you up with in a new computer that would have taken her hours to do.

So...hopefully I will be back in business in a few days.
