Hi
I have a 5 year old Dell Vostro, Win 10.
I want to buy another and keep this as backup, instead of transferring all data.
what should I go for? A laptop or notebook ?
The new one will be win11.
So, the programs on this laptop can run on that ? Like many Ashampoo programs?
I have won several from your site, so how do I go about that?
I want to learn video editing , of which the present one is incapable.
What graphic card is needed?
What is the minimum specification I should look for?
I hate recurring expenses so didnt opt for office 365. What alternative I need?
Or with Google I dont need office at all?
Please help.
Hey Shobha,
what should I go for? A laptop or notebook ?
Definitely go for a laptop. Laptops are generally lager (bigger screens) than notebooks and come with more powerful hardware

Unfortunately, you might encounter a problem there. Most premium software, even when purchased, can only be activated once- one activation per license. You'll probably have to try and win some more licenses through DCT
As an alternative, if you let me know what sort of software you need/want I can recommend the best free ones for you
What graphic card is needed?
You do not need a graphic card to edit and/or convert videos. What you need is a decent CPU (processor) and a reasonable amount of RAM- (see the next answer)
What is the minimum specification I should look for?
As a minimum I would recommend an Intel i5 or Ryzen 5 CPU with 16GB RAM and a 500GB SSD (preferably an NVMe SSD)
I hate recurring expenses so didnt opt for office 365. What alternative I need?
Two very good MS Office alternatives are LibreOffice and OpenOffice. Both are free full office suites fully compatible with MS Office. I prefer LibreOffice myself but either will do a good job for you
I hope that helps Shobha, feel free to ask any further questions and I'll answer them as best I can.
Cheers... Jim
