PC Computer Hardware Troubleshooting
A big problem when repairing a computer is
when one faulty component causes anothere component
to slowly degrade over time and eventually fail. The
faultly component gets replaced and the
failing component works, how is this possible? It
takes a little time for the faulty component to once
again degrade the working component to the point of
no return.
Electronics can play funny tricks, it's important to have a lot of good working spare parts when preforming the process of elimination, testing equipment and error codes are not always forthcoming.
Poor quality, worn out power supply units (PSU) are a big cause of misdiagnosing the wrong computer component.
A lot of power supplies units will test correctly using a (PSU) tester, however, their are many aspects to a (PSU) providing clean accurately dependable power, especially when it is supporting a multi thousand dollar video card and computer components.

I offer free computer removal of old and or broken computers. CTR monitors used to be worth money because of there copper content. Because of the recent decline in precious metals they are no longer worth my time to recycling them, printers have the same problem. There maybe other places still willing to take them off of peoples hands. Usually your local department of public works will have something in place to assist people with older electronic recycling.
I except the donations of broken and older computers. If you have a computer that is broken I maybe willing to travel to pick it up. If it has any value I might be able to offer you some cash. Older computers and laptops will have to be dropped off at my location. I can remove the hard drive for you and let you keep it for peace of mind. I can also thoroughly erasing the hard drive when you arrive.
Disposing of a computer can be very dangerous. The hard drive might have a lot of personal data on it, which if it gets into the wrong hands can put you at risk of identity theft, bank fraud, and could potentially cost you a lot of money. I completely zero out all three layers of a hard drive which typically can take up to eight hours. If your are donating your computer I do not charge for this service. All my zeroing out of hard drives is done to U.S. Department of Defense standards. I use a licensed version of a data scrubbing program called Kill Disk, it doesn't just simple reformat the hard drive, it completely erases all three layers of the drive. It is the same software the government uses when transferring or disposing of a computer. When donating your computer you will always receive this service.
Everything that I'm not able to salvage will be scraped and taken to a scrap metal and plastic recycling plant. Nothing will be illegally disposed of. I have a blue website but a green hart.
If you are looking to buy a new custom built computer or a used computer or laptop and want to trade in a working or broken computer, I maybe able to give you credit off your purchase price.
Getting rid of an old computer can be a problem. In addition to possible data theft, there is the recycling problem. Major department stores charge $50 (or more) to dispose of a computer. With me, if your computer is less than 10 years old, there is no charge. If your computer is less than 4 years old, I may be able to offer you money for it! This offer is good for both desktops and laptops.

Windows 11 Help &
Support
Windows 11 operating system can be installed in older computers that don't meet the minimum system hardware requirements. When a computer is capable of running Windows 10 it should be able to run and handle Windows 11.
During the Windows 11 installation process a few Windows registry keys can be adding to the system registry that will bypass the Microsoft minimum system hardware requirements evaluation.
People have not reported any problems using the system registry work around. Microsoft is providing security updates and drivers for systems that are using the added registry keys.
Windows 10 drivers are backwards compatible with Windows 11 (OS), there should not be a driver compatibility problem with installing Windows 11 on older computers.
I do not recommend using third party apps or programs to bypass Win 11 system minimum requirements. Free third party apps downloaded from the internet are bad in general.
Upgrade to an SSD hard drive for only fifty dollars more with a Windows 11 upgrade.

Can't find hard drive during Windows 11 OS installation?
Intel 11th through 14th I generation processors need a special Intel rapid storage technology (RST) driver in order to install windows 11.
Motherboards can not see the hard drive without this extra driver installation during the Windows 11 installation process, everybody finds this to be a major pain in the brain.
It is the same thing that happened during 2010 when RAID driver configuration reemerged form the 1970's. Let me help you with this installation problem and never worry about it again.
