Thread-topic: [LUG] Daughter's computer

If the computer boots up off the linux usb stick then the problem is with the installed os, not the hardware. If it is windows, back up photos and anything else important then do a windows repair startup. If that fails, reinstall windows, or if your daughter prefers, install the superior option, linux! Don't let the computer shop talk you into paying for a hardware "fix".

I used my USB stick which has MX Linux on it and I ran a check on her
hard disk. No problems reported.

As said in another of my replies, I will take the computer to our local
computer shop. Let's see what he finds.

And I have rescued all her persomal files.
