Hello my good techie folksies!

I'm wondering if one of you technical geniuses can help me?

My PC is 15 years old. The only thing I ever replaced in it was the memory.

For it's age it runs really well, but, there's always a but, I cannot upgrade it from Windows 10 and she to be honest I'm not sure I can hold her together much longer. (Said in Mr. Scott's accent)

Is there anything I will be able to salvage or do I have to go all brand new?

@Tacitus_Kilgore I have ALWAYS been able to salvage the hard drives. ALWAYS. I have HDs that are gosh.. 30 years old? Older? You might need a new SSD for the main drive though.

My guess is (I don't memorize specs-I relearn them from scratch when I choose a new system - every couple decades ;) ) you can salvage a good sound card. Maybe a Blue tooth card.. but ram, cpu, mobo.. nope. Power supply? Probably not up to snuff but even if it is I'd not want to risk a power fluctuation on a new machine

@TrueBloodNet Looks like either way I'm going to need more money then I can afford right now. I'm trying to keep it as inexpensive as possible but having a reliable system.

A friend built this PC I have now and it cost me $1600.

@Tacitus_Kilgore Good. :) Although I bought this one, it was a great sale and I moved all the drives, video cards, sound cards, etc. here myself. I've got a fantastic box upstairs that I will use to build one again some day. But since I no longer game, I haven't needed a hugely expensive desktop.

@TrueBloodNet That's what I'm wondering. I have always gamed but now the appeal is wearing off. Besides I still have my Xbox.

@Tacitus_Kilgore I have/had a separate drive for my gaming stuff as well. Really, I have a shit ton of drives. LOL
