Hi, If you are thinking of repairing your old computer, may I recommend Jacob's Computers on 102 Main Street, Wildwood. FL. I have used him for a number of repairs and items and he is very skilled. If you are worried about Windows 10 coming to an end of support, I continue to use Windows 7, as does many of my neighbors here and I have little or no difficulty using my "old" computer. Also, I am given to understand Windows 11 does not work with older, "legacy" equipment (printers, scanners, monitors, etc). I have always felt that, just because something is old, doesn't mean it is no longer any good or useful." Good luck.

I use TurboTax on my hard drive, and I had to upgrade to Windows 11 last year because TurboTax would not even install on my Windows 10 computer. |

Possibly one of the best reviewed computer companies on the web
Quite a few years ago, I bought a tower that was part of a lot retired from a business that came with 10pro and it is still going terrific. We added my hard drive from my old computer and upgraded memory and it is super fast. I use an old vizio tv as the monitor with a $5 adapter. I am still running pro and have not had problems with any programs but I do not use Turbo Tax. If TT will not work on 11, why not stick with older version if tax specifics are still current?
The company is in Fort Lauderdale but will give good advice and probably ship. Search for "Ask Chip" computers. Also Known as H&J Electronics. |

Yes, the old OSs all work just fine, as long as you use old programs and don't try to update them when updates are available. My OLD cell phone, I now use as an MP3 player because NONE of the apps on it will work on it anymore and in fact, if I try to connect it to wifi, it will try and update the firmware, and get stuck because it -cannot- update. My old Nexus tablet is now a paperweight for the same reason. The fan doesn't need to be replaced at all. The computer functions fine with it not working, and it is one of three fans, and the other two are functioning at 100%. This is a powerful computer, and was designed to do things that I don't need it to do. I got a deal on it, otherwise I wouldn't have bought this model, I would've gotten a lower-end model. But now, this model is obsolete, and if I want the functionality I actually use, I'll have to upgrade. |

For OBB, i would just build a new motherboard for your tower. . The components are easy enough to install and plug in. . however, I have given up on towers and have gone with a laptop after using one for about 10 years or more at work. Prolly because I travel with it on planes, trains and automobiles. . . If you need a new tower case, I have an extra one i never create a new build with, and you can have it if you want. . its several years old, small and light. If you want it, i can get the model number, and will ship it you no cost to you, let me know here or pm |

I have Win 10 and installed Turbo Tax this year with no problems. TT was free through Fidelity if that makes a difference. |
