Intro - saltdog77 - 08-29-2018
Hello all. I've been dabbling around the edges of linux for a while now. I decided to dive in. My wife has an old laptop that I installed linux lite on. Long story it flies now. Its super fast. I want to use this laptop as my work computer. My employers work computer is old as well and runs windows 7 and it sucks - super slow. It would be great with a bit of assistance from this community I can sever my windows dependency.

Welcome to the forum!
Basically you should just backup all the data files (your documents, music etc) from your Windows into some
temporary storage like USB stick, SD card or external hard drive.
Then brutally install LL over the Windows and finally restore the data files back from the temporary storage.
I'm sure there are people here who can help with the details
Tip: Use your wife's laptop first for a while ( if she let's you
to get familiar with LL before installing ...Re: Intro - bitsnpcs - 08-31-2018
