Sorry this is a very basic question.


I had a load of stuff on an external hard drive because my old laptop didn't have enough storage.


It was all backed up on Carbonite, and when I got my new laptop all the stuff on the external hard drive was downloaded onto that as well.


However all the documents, music, pictures etc from my old laptop are now saved in "This PC", while everything from the external hard drive is now in a folder labelled F, which is saved in OS (C: ) along with things like drivers and program files.


All I want to know is whether I can safely move this F folder into my "documents" folder in the "This PC" section, so that I can then start to sort it all out.


In case it's relevant, the (very) old laptop was running Vista and the new one is Windows 10, which I am finding it a bit hard to get used to, grammar.


Thanks.

Sounds as though on your old laptop the Vista allocated the drive letter F to the external drive. When you've copied the stuff back from the external drive to your new laptop its created folder called "F" (on your C: drive) and put the files in there. Should be perfectly safe to simply move the F folder to the "documents" folder and simply carry on.

Sorry guys. I recently bought a computer software named SVP - Smooth Video Project. It claims to be able to convert video frame rate from 30fps to the higher 60fps. But I could find no differences after the conversion process. I know the frame rate means the number of pictures flashing by per second. So, is it the frame interpolation that causes that distortion in video image? This is the software i used to smooth video:http://www.videoconverterfactory.com/tips/smooth-video.html

Bit worried to click on a link from somebody who has just joined today to post on a very old thread.


Sorry.


ETA: Please don't be offended if it is all above board.

But I can't understand why somebody would see a thread from three years ago in the first place :)

Ah, I did think your post was a bit strange :))


This forum seems to be getting a lot of similar posts recently.

The new user posts a few innocuous posts on established threads to establish their credentials and then follows up by posting a link to a website that?s selling something. ?Vanihe? is a new arrival, the post to the commercial website has been removed.

      Chicks and ducklings

      By malumbu · Posted

      Hmmm, millions of animals are killed each year to eat in this country.  10,000 animals (maybe many more) reared to be eaten by exotic pets, dissected by students, experimented on by cosmetic and medical companies.  Why is this any different? Unless you have a vegan lifestyle most of us aren't in a position to judge.  I've not eaten meat for years, try not to buy leather and other animal products as much as possible but don't read every label, and have to live with the fact that for every female chick bred to (unaturally) lay eggs for me to eat, there will be male that is likely top be slaughtered, ditto for the cow/milk machines - again unnatural. I wasn't aware that there was this sort of market, but there must be a demand for it and doubt if it is breaking any sort of law. Happy to be proved wrong on anything and everything.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By theweekend · Posted

      I don't know how spoillable food can be used as evidence in whatever imaginary CSI scenario you are imagining.  And yes, three times. One purchase was me, others were my partner. We don't check in with each other before buying meat. Twice we wrote it off as incidental. But now at three times it seems like a trend.   So the shop will be hearing from me. Though they won't ever see me again that's for sure.  I'd be happy to field any other questions you may have Sue. Your opinion really matters to me.

      Food poisoning at Dugard & Daughters - twice!

      By Sue · Posted

      If you thought they were off, would it not have been a good idea to have kept them rather than throwing them away, as evidence for Environmental Health or whoever? Or indeed the shop? And do you mean this is the third time you have bought chicken from the same shop which has been off? Have you told the shop? Why did you buy it again if you have twice previously had chicken from there which was off? Have I misunderstood?

      I found this post after we just had to throw away £14 of chicken thighs from Dugard in HH, and probably for the 3rd time. They were roasted thoroughly within an hour of purchase. But they came out of the oven smelling very woofy.  We couldn't take a single bite, they were clearly off. Pizza for dinner it is then. Very disappointing.
