Re: [LUG] 20190801 Can DC Lug members help elderly ?

To DC Lug for attention keithbell382@xxxxxxxxx
Keith,
Have you used any Linux Distribution before as a Live Linux?
Or have you only used Windows?

The questions on what your machine specification and what to do are
relevant to what distribution you use.

Do you want to keep Windows as well as Linux or wipe out Windows?

A full blown install will wipe out any existing data/documents/photos on
your machine. Do you have a back up  of all your data?

It is easy to send you a DVD which will do a full blown install,
however I note no person  in Plymouth has answered you for local help as
yet.

Have you viewed any YouTube videos on a Linux distribution install o
replace Windows?

Regards
Eion MacDonald
