Update.....
Huh!
"Basic" level ppruning............
Greatly helped by much too much Sauvignon Blanc.
BT McAfee taken out, MS Security Essentials put in, and now it is downloading 82 updates.........(6 months worth)
I have no idea what Mc Afee did, as it has no obvious impact on 2 other boxes that have it on, but maybe the collective action of the large number of earlier mcAfee updates stopped MS updates.
Daughter would quite like her Office files, her (awful) -(godawful?) music and a few photos. Despite asking her for ages about whether or not she wants to copy stuff over to my 2TB back-up, she only wants a back up now that I've got her old pc to work. Daughters, huh!
I only wanted the updates for security reasons as I'll only use the mobile pc for casual internet browsing, reading, and a tiny bit of Office work. Most of the Office work gets done on this desktop pc and daughters' pcs.
