I am glad things are sorting themselves out, albeit slowly.
I had a fright a few weeks ago when my laptop failed in the middle of the April Windows update. I was lucky on two counts, as, although I had to effectively re-install Windows, my data was still there, and I had done a full backup a few days before. I like to keep two sets of backup as I have two external drives. Most of my data is downloaded so could be restored, but it is some years worth so would take days (at least). The biggest bind I found was re-installing applications. We do have an older Vista equipped desktop. I have now started experimenting with Linux (booting from memory stick), but have found that it would not be quite so easy to do with my more modern laptop.
