Question from Mike T.: The screen in my laptop went bad and I’m getting ready to buy a new one.
The old machine is a Dell Inspiron 14 5000 that I bought back in January 2015.

Question from Rhonda C.: A few days ago I got a text message from Microsoft saying my computer has a virus and that I need to delete System 32, but I can’t find it on the list of programs to remove.

I hope you like this image as much a I do.
