I bought a WIFI PCI Ex X1 card for the street found PC,so here's the unboxing and installation.

The Video mate C500 PCI video capture card is my only option to allow me to copy tapes to a PC,so i decided to install it into my only available PC with a PCI slot. Enter the Dell Optiplex 755 Tower,an upgraded Core 2 Duo E8400 (Wolfdale) 3GB DDR2 & an ATI X700 PCI Ex 1 x16 card and a WD Blue 250GB HDD.

Finding spare parts for a 15 year old TV can be difficult,so when my 2010 era LCD TV decided to fail,could cannibalising a street found broken TV from the same era save it?.

A bloody saga to preserve 300gb of data while converting the partition from dynamic to basic! A rough last minute video with some bad angles and not so good footage.

Did i fix the drive? Did i preserve the 300gb data? find out!

i wanted to install Windows 10 LTSC but i found that the partition i wanted to use had a faulting Windows 7 BSOD,which had a VM running Oracle Linux,so i decided to try to trouble shoot the issue so i could show the Linux install.

I show the now resurrected Windows 7 running Oracle Linux on a VM!

Windows 10 is going away on the 14 October 2025,so what are my options? 10 LTSC has 1 year of support,11 Home is a disaster,11 Pro is usable with 3rd party tools to mitigate its issues,then there's 11 LTSC,but that’s another story! Lastly there's Linux,but for some including me,it's not an option for more reasons than i could fit into this description box,and i could made an hour long video about why it's not for me. Staying in the 10 family LTSC IOT has support up to 2032. Basic updates makes it a candidate for long therm use on older PCs. It requires a less than legitimate activation,(Google is your friend),as is the iso which is available,again if you look around,i can't post links because reasons!

I own five retro PCs, dating from 2000 to 2013,Pentium 3,Pentium 4,Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad. Does anyone remember DVD cover disks? I installed a few programs from Computer Shopper magazine DVD disc from 2007!
