I still do all my clever stuff on XP.
I have windows on a new PC and it is by far the worst operating system I have ever tried to use.
I have had discussions lately with the people who supplied my latest PC and in and among the things we discussed was the revelation that SSD drives are prone to fail without warning and be extremely difficult if not impossible to recover data from. I did ask them why they were pushing them in a recent promo email but did not get a straight answer? There's a surprise.
Yes they are very quick but be sure you have anything valuable - photos, sound recordings, meaningful databases and the like backed up to trusted,if somewhat slower, media such as DVDs & CDs or remote HDs although the latter can also give problems.
You could of course back the stuff up to such as cloud - at a price - but my religion, Devout Yorkshire, prevents me from doing so.
A quick reminder of happier times can be found with Les Barker's "Reinstalling Windows".
Cheers
