He would not be doing any software reloading. The various software vendors would charge him to have someone do it online using remote control software, or I would end up doing it. For the operating system and network setup, I would be doing the work. Going from an old XP machine to a new Win 10 machine is not easy and does take some time. The customer is the auto shop where my car (Subaru 2001 Forester L) was getting a new drive shaft. Don't ask what happened. The Dell GX620 SFF computer ran Windoze XP and was used mostly for looking up vehicle parts, instructions, procedures, specs, etc and running various engine analyzers. There were other computers available that could do all this, but this one was in a convenient location. After I was sure that the computer had a motherboard problem, I discussed various options with the owner. We both wanted a new and better replacement, but I didn't have time to do much more than a quick fix. So, I recommenced a quick fix in the form of a new motherboard. If it didn't work, we go shopping for a replacement. I paid for expedited shipping and had it fixed 4 days later. The old machine was somewhat functional during the 4 days as long as it was allowed to cool down between lookups. Eventually, the machine will be replaced with something better, but for now, getting it back in operation without reloading old software and dealing with a possible XP VM (virtual machine) to run the old software made the motherboard replacement a good idea. Since they gave me a good price on the drive shaft work, I don't plan to bill them for the $40 or the 1.5 hr labor needed to do the computer work. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com PO Box 272 http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Ben Lomond CA 95005-0272 Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
