My techical challenges started when technical friend, Yuri,
persuaded me to buy a Kingston Solid-State Drive,
when I was buying a new printer (when mine died).
The primter is fine, but now over to the computer.
240 GB and 10x faster and a good price were
too good to miss. I had the impression that it
just slotted in the computer box, like extra memoryof old,
and away I would go.
Yuri knew more than me, but he was not readyfor this saga.
So preparation was nil, except that somehow
I deleted my ‘Old Mail’ in my AOL account *which I have had
for 25 years. I have unlimited emails in the account,
without charge or comment from AOL.
A few years ago,everybody
I knew were limited as to the emails allowed.
Though I do sort my emails, more than 10 years of
unsorted emails rest there (and had now disappeared).
I had this happen in 2013, and
AOL restored them in 24 hours.
Fortunately, AOL rose to the challenge again,
restoring the file of a few days earlier.
I was delighted to have AOL’s support,
but am thinking of
my own backup arrangements, just in case.
You may want to check your backup.
