Awesome shot. Teach them young and they will remember gun safety for life. Great photo.

Nice set. I got to get out more LOL. Happy Shooting

Looks like a nice fishing hole too. Saco river in Maine is a great relaxing escape from reality but the Allagash river white water runs are an adrenaline junkies dream. Especially in an open canoe (not kayak). My photos (if any survived) are in storage or I would share. Downsizing from 2000 sq ft to 850 has challenges. Hope you get to visit your fishing hole often.

Beautiful Birds. Well done

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, I am jealous. Beautiful photos. I love taking pictures of bees and flowers. Excellent set.

So sorry you had that experience. I know a lot of great techs but just like every other industry, there are bad apples. I would look online for another computer place that ranks really high with its client base. If you are still having issues, they should be able to help (look for higher than 4 stars and more than 50 reviews if possible). CCleaner can uninstall software but again, armature method not much better than add/remove programs. That is not a program a qualified tech would choose for that problem. You need to find a good tech in your area.

You already got an excellent reply but I am going to add to that. CCleaner allows you to do a back-up of the system before you clean the registry. If a real IT was honestly using this (instead of far superior options) he/she should have made a back-up. Also, unless the Tech did a secure wipe of the drive right after running ccleaner, it would be easily restored by any qualified tech. This is a program I let the computer illiterate use so I would suggest you ask other techs in your area the cause of your problem and see if they don't put blame elsewhere as well.

Wow, not scare tactics and useless dribble. I see you took my advice.

If you want to put out useful information like your comment I am replying to, that is awesome. If you want to challenge me, I Don't give a crap. I wont be baited. Qualifications beyond being old? Respect is used by real human beings and you should have tried that first. If you want to scare people with useless hot air and vomit insanity, I will speak up.

More like this and a lot less of your first comment and people will respect your opinion. More like this and people will even listen to you. All I ask is you treat people with a little respect when you comment. This is not politics, we are not debating pro-life and pro-choice, this is a photo site where we help each other. Your last comment is helpful.

Now to reply... Windows was crap and I used DOS. I don't care about 3.1, it is gone.

Windows 7-10 can be optimized to run on SSD with a handful of adjustments. Is it the best solution? For some but not for others... To your point, you cannot put an SSD in a system and expect it to run Windows 10 (as it was set up on the HDD) optimally. I did not include why you likely need a HDD to prolong the life of your new SSD either. He had a tech do the work so it should have been discussed and work done right. That is why you use a tech if you are not a geek yourself. BUT (back to point) A few adjustments and Windows runs very well and makes people very happy. That is the point.

Original poster is not a tech but he is happy. His system is faster and he is excited. Say you hope the tech made the necessary changes to windows so it runs better on the SSD but regardless, you would recommend using Lenux (insert whatever OS you like here) because you think it is better suited to his new system. That is helpful. Your last post was helpful. Do that.

LOL... I can relate. Been programming computers since 1982. Building them after my IBM PS2 model 25 needed to be replaced... And I am a grumpy old man. LOL

CCleaner is not a bad program. Easy to use and people without great computer skills can take care of many issues without having to run to a tech every month. Also formats free space so you do not leave personal information on your drive.

Unfortunately, this is normal. Older programs and hardware often have issues as you update. Nature of the beast.

Thank you. Happy shooting

Thank you very much
