Have a laptop that I use occasionally. HP ProBook 430 G1. It has a SSD but I was wondering if I can add another SSD or HDD to it? This is a whole new world for me but something to keep me from doing nothing all day. The things I have read is that yes I can, some can just be added, some I have to removes current hard drive and install the upgraded version. I don't really have anything stored on it. Just some old homework assignments. But I would want to keep the windows 7 that is on it. Would that be a problem with adding or swapping out the hard drive? The laptop is decent for checking email or browsing the web. But I'd like to install some of the photography pr…

My windows which is 8 is forcing me to upgrade to 8.1, but when I try to upgrade it fails and shuts down and has a fit. I tried just a little bit ago to just upgrade to Windows 10 and that failed. What am I or my machine doing wrong?

... I'd like to pick some geeks brains and wonder if anyone has come across an app that will decipher my old handwritten VA notes and convert them to text, I've briefly searched the google play store and they have so many, but not specifically what I want, so far... To be able to take a pic of the page w/all the hand written data and hav -ing an app decipher it and convert it to text would be great and also save me a lot of $$$ using something like that instead of using something like what a court's deposi -tion transcript conversion to text company does - recordings to text, but in this case, scanned handwriting to text... any/all ideas or leads would be g…

Greetings I have an occasional need/desire to print information from eBenefits for my records. When I try to print in the conventional way, what I get is very different and only part of what is on the screen. Cutting and pasting does not work.. "Saving page as" does not work either. I checked the previous posts and found nothing on this subject. Anybody have any ideas that you have used or tried and that work? I'm not on here as much as I used to be (lurking) but I will check back ever couple of days Thanks I'm using Windows 7 and Google chrome.

Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title. I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
Again – Make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
How To Post
Post a clear title like
‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question."
This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”
Note:
Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.
This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
