Age 77, not a clue, in a bit of a state.
Using a donated Lenovo repurposed laptop which came preloaded (during Covid) with Linux Lite.
I'm in the process of producing a very, very long document, and it has been a big struggle, but am fairly near the end, it's been beset with problem after problem, the latest of which is that I deleted a really important folder which contains loads of photos. I really feel like I'm swimming against the tide, but I try to keep going.
I don't know what version the Linux Lite is, I know there are loads of updates to download but I'm reluctant to change anything on the laptop until the document is finished, at which time I think it would probably be best to install the latest version, I haven't a clue how and haven't looked into it until my document is done.
The folder of photos was on a Toshiba 2 TB external harddrive, I'd got a back-up of everything except these ******* photos, ain't it always the way.
Is there any way I can get the folder of photos back, I haven't opened the drive since the idiotic event so hoping that nothing has changed on there.
After I'd finished screaming, I put a garbled message on the 'contact us' page. So a couple of days later, I'm hoping this message makes a bit more sense.
