    Windows XP

    I was wondering how to update a windows xp system to Microsoft's latest update that deals with the wannacrypt worm (MS17-010). I heard that in an unusual move, Microsoft made the update available to windows xp systems too. I don't see the usual update prompts from windows update within the system. Going onto microsoft's website only shows options for windows vista and up. I was wondering how to download the update and apply it to a windows xp system.
  2. Because it's not a fresh system. The Dell in question is being used as a daily driver.
  3. I have a 1 tb hard drive in a Dell System. I'm looking to replace it with possibly a 500gb nvme m.2 ssd. My question is, how would I clone the hdd over to the M.2 drive? Would it be possible to do it externally? For example, for typical SSD's, I just used Aeomi cloning software and connected the new ssd to the old computer using a SATA to USB 3.0 connector. Any equivalent for M.2 SSDs? Any Advice?
  4. I've been asked to recommend a desktop to someone. They specifically want a Dell. They're looking for something under $1,000, and given that they don't do much beyond basic computing is more than enough money. However, they also replace their computers about once every decade, so even though they don't do heavy computing stuff, might it be a good idea to recommend them with an i5-i7 processor? To give reference, their current system runs on a core 2 duo from '06, and even basic web browsing is sluggish for them, so I'd want to recommend them with a processor that'll last them another decade. I'd also want something for them that has an SSD, because that's an upgrade that they'll instantly notice. I don't think they need anything with a discreet GPU in the near future. However, it seems that most models with a decently sized SSD are higher end with a discreet GPU, something they won't need for now. Should I get them an AIO due to its space profile, or typical tower due to the fact that it's more up gradable if they were to need more RAM or a new GPU in about 5 years? TL:DR - Need a Dell desktop under $1,000, low computing needs but it needs to run smoothly for at least a decade, =>256gb SSD preferred, AIO or Tower?
  5. I'm trying to recommend someone a laptop. As of now, it's between two Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Non-Touch Laptops. It looks like the main difference between the two is that one will have an I5-7200U CPU while the other will have an A12-9700P APU, although I could be wrong and there could be some other differences. Which one would be the better choice?
