Windows 7 "Test" Computer

Original Post - August 7, 2015

I have  used  most of the Microsoft Windows programs starting with W95 and going up to W7.
I liked W98 and XP and was forced to go to Vista which I still use along with XP.  I had W7 but went back to Vista and after wiping the Hard Drive.  I re-installed the original software using the backup disk. I felt it was always nice to have the install disc as it was common to wipe a hard drive and go back to day one (the day the PC was born - or at least turned on for the first time at my home).

I never use Windows 8.1 and now that you can get Windows 10 for free I decided I need to at least try it.
So I needed a PC with Windows 7 that I would be willing to use as a "test" computer.

I had an old computer that needed work to get going again and I decided that would be the "test" PC.
It was built as a custom PC in 2005 so I began as an XP based computer.  It got upgraded to Vista and later to W7.  But the Hard Drive needed to be replaced.  I bought a new 2 TB HD and installed Windows 7. It has a 3 GHz microprocessor and 2 Mega Bytes (MB) of RAM.

The upgrade disc allowed me to load a black HD as long as I didn't need the files.

Here is the PC -

I got this PC from the wife of a computer friend of mine who passed away.  So she sold me his computer and a bunch of other computer related items (Monitor, Printer, cards, cables, and Software0.

I since have abandoned it as it was difficult to use and upgrade.

I have had many other computers which I got from other people and experimented with.  As newer versions came along I have abandoned them as well.  This PC was born as an XP computer and was a 2005 vintage machine.  It got up graded to Vista and later to Windows 7.  When I later tried to up grade it to W10 (after the free upgrade period from MS was over) I could not get it authorized as I had not authorized the earlier version (why do the up grades when I was just "passing thru" to get to W10.  Anyway it has been recycled along with many of my older computers and monitors (mostly W98 and XP based machines).
