Does everything you'd expect from software designed to ease the frustration of moving from one Microsoft operating system to the next, or migrating to new, different, better hardware... The negative aspect is the free version does NOT transfer apps or programs. Mix this program with a lil' imagination... could make a very reliable poorman's backup/restore utility

DUE TO CURRENT EVENTS: Our long standing "walk-ins are welcome" shop policy must be suspended. As of March 18th 2020 by order of Fresno County Authorities all non-essential businesses must close until Apri 1st 2020 for health and safety reasons. However, on a personal basis I will accept computers for repair from those who call and schedule an appointment prior to arrival. An appointment is MANDATORY, exceptions will NOT be made under any circumstance. Your health and safety as well as my own are a far greater concern at this time. I appreciate your understanding and co-operation during these trying times.Thank you. God speed to us all.

But, if you've had a terrible experience at the hands of the US Postal Service, share it in the comments

That's it, call it a wrap. Windows 7 support is done. If you didn't get the last of the last updates, no worries, got'm for ya... call, come in, or schedule a remote to get the last of the last updates for Windows 7. Support and security patches will no longer be provided for Windows 7, doesn't mean your computer will suddenly stop working. If you don't want to or can't update your Windows operating system, at the very least keep your anti-malware/anti-virus software updated, schedule more virus and malware scans into your maintenance routine. Stay alert for sudden uncharacteristic behavior while browsing the web or daily computer use. Until an upgrade can be made your system will be vulnerable to exploits known and unknown. Watch this page for any security alerts for Windows 7.
