My computer needed to update last night, it did, and then an update notice came up again. I hope there isn't anything wrong with Windows.

I've tried everything and it operates in safe mode and it appears I haven't lost anything. What's wrong with Geek Squad?
they are a bunch of untrained clowns...if you are in safe mode....back up your data and just wipe the computer.....or maybe you can reinstall a backup point that is already on your computer.

You might as well have just typed "fjdsb asjkc eu jincasuy wmcurfn4 scnZOI nvndonjcaufj qcheomm flipper" because that's about as much as I know about backing up, reinstalling, or backup points as I know.
And now it works but it keeps getting hung up on webpages and it took over thirty minutes to boot up. Is backing up the computer to an external hard drive fairly easy. And by easy I mean if I plug it in will it lead me along on what to do?

I worked for Geek Squad for about 3 years.
That said, do not take it to Geek Squad. They will charge you about as much money as it would be to buy a new PC.
Not that they are idiots, most of the guys I knew knew their shit, it's just that it's an $11 an hour retail job. You're going to get employees who won't really give a fuck.

Thing is it's not the PC I really care about. It's the info that's on it. Tax returns, pictures, etc.

Get a Mac.
My Mac is booted camped with Windows 7 and every god damn time I boot into Windows, there's like a 20 minute update.. and then it needs to install the updates.. and then it needs to reboot and configure the updates.. and if I'm lucky, more updates. :-x
Fuck Windows and the time it wastes me to just check my email and stream porn. :twisted:

Have you heard of the digital dark ages?
Most of your data will not be around years from now, no matter how much you back it up. Data corrupts over time.
It is believed that far into the future historians will look back to now with little written documents to tell about our world. The digital era will be a blank period in history.
I would say, if you have cherished photos, print them.. Cherished music, get it on vinyl, and keep printouts of important written documents!

I'm not saying Mac is better, I'm just saying Windows is over kill... I guess just disable everything in Windows, but most don't know how to do that.

At the end of the day it's same shit just different box buut to the reasoning to get a Mac because of constant updates is just silly and you know it ha. I had some updates the past few days and they were the only ones in months. Even when it updates it's all in the background anyway!
