All in one desktop has gone berserk. Bright red and blues and rolling screen. Unable to use, currently on Fire tablet. About 7 years old, Windows 7. Is this repairable or will I have to get Windows 10 laptop, which I dread.
Plus, of course, will lose everything, contacts, etc. Have switched on/off several times but still happens. Also have second email address which I can't access on tablet. Is there any point in taking to computer shop, if I bought one from them could they transfer stuff?
