<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DonnaML, post: 8173798, member: 110350&quot;]By the way, I thought I should give an update and report that the hard drive enclosure I ordered worked fine (once I ordered the necessary USB 3.0 to USB 3.0 cable, rather than the USB 3.0 to SATA III cable that came with the equipment). So I was able to migrate everything, including my coin catalog and all my other documents and all my photos from the last 20 years, from the old 1 TB hard drive to the one in the new computer.&nbsp; (In all those years, I only filled up about 350 GB, so there&#039;s plenty of space left on the new drive. I suppose I could leave the old drive connected, for extra space, and even empty it for even more space if I ever need it.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Plus, so I didn&#039;t have to reinstall all my old programs, for some of which I doubt I still have the CD-ROMS or download links from years ago, I bought and downloaded something called Zinstall, which appears to have successfully migrated all my old programs as well.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I guess all&#039;s well that ends well. It was probably well past time for buying a new desktop anyway after 10 years. Something bad was bound to happen soon, even if I hadn&#039;t accidentally turned it off and been unable to turn it on again.&nbsp; And the base price of $399 from Home Depot for a new Dell Inspiron was very reasonable.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
