PCs scanned.

PCs scanned. Double Click and traces of trojans found on all of them. All deleted now. It might be time to try an upgrade to Win 10 next.

  1. Deadline for Win10 is July 29 I think. I know I have to break down and get the Win7 laptop done - that will take the longest to backup and is the slowest since it is the oldest still functional.

  2. I found that my PCS are all "Genuine Windows" so it's a matter of doing that as well.

  3. Laura - I think you said your machines are dual boot - you need to back up anything on the linux side as the Win 10 install will certainly destroy the dual boot.

  4. Mostly I've used Mint as a "backup OS" to fix Win problems. There's nothing that I'd backup under Linux that wouldn't be quicker to do a fresh install of.

    More worried about Win7 What should I back up?

  5. I'm not the Windows guru but he first place I would look is C:\Users\YourName but Windows itself should handle all that.
