<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I took my Lenovo laptop running Ubuntu Linux to Best Buy because it wouldn't accept the 20 character disk encryption password that had previously worked. I thought it might be
a good time to convert it to Windows 10 which would give the house more flexibility. I further thought this would be a matter of wiping the hard drive and installing W10. All the data I care about are in the cloud. The Geek Squad receptionist said he didn't
know anything about Linux and that he would ask a "tech". Sounds like "let me talk to my manager." The conclusion was the hardware is too old to support W10 so why don't I just buy a new laptop which might be a less expensive option. It has an Intel I7
processor.<o:p></o:p></p>

You obviously need to get it serviced. In the meantime I recommend you search for how to measure the temperature of the CPU and then monitor it. I guess that while the temperature is not too high you would have some breathing space while waiting to have it
serviced. I tinker with Raspberry Pis that don't not come standard with any cooling so I monitor the CPU temperatures, but that's in Linux so I don't think sharing what I do would help you.<br>

I'm sure you don't need to be reminded to ensure that all your important data is securely backed up <o:p></o:p></p>
