Same thing here. My husband fixes things that aren't broken. That's an engingeer for you.
That must have been frightening. I am glad you were able to retrieve your software.
I currently have a desktop that is running XP, and a laptop with windows 7. Neither is ever going on the internet. For my daily activity I use my windows 10 laptop. This is the only way I am able to keep some pretty expensive programs that windows 10 no longer supports. It can be maddening.
I would NEVER let my husband do anything to my laptop. He moved it off a table the other day and removed the card reader... I was muttering and spent ages getting it to work again. I think he now knows that its better to ask me to move it to a safer place. His iPad is his and occasionally I look at it but the laptop is mine. So I know exactly how you must have felt. I am scrub making and all is fine though my daughter has had the Corona virus due to being a nurse. She is fine now
I remember when I let me son delete the non-essential files on my computer and he deleted something that was, you guessed it, essential. It was a major headache to get back to usable.
Oh! Debbie, some hubbies can be a worry!! Glad you got everything back on line so to speak. Good luck, and I hope to see some of your projects soon. We are all well and fit. I'm loving being home as I can sew to my heart's content. Love Chris
Oh my! That had to be scary. I'm glad you are now up and running again. And now quick! To the embroidery machine to catch up on all of thos wonderful projects you have waiting. Please continue to stay safe.
