It would have ended up costing more than it was worth.
We went a bit over our initial budget in order to get something that had both a Solid State Drive and a Hard Disk Drive with plenty of storage space.
The laptop I was using is now my backup and I use it while I work and watch TV.
It still has Windows 10 running on it.
My new laptop is super-fast with 32 GB of RAM and it has a full 1080 HD Monitor.
The processor is an Intel Core i5
And I chose to go ahead and download the upgrade to Windows 11.
I was hesitating at first because I saw some complaints about it online but I had to see for myself anyway.
They give you 10 days to decide if you want to revert back to Windows 10 which helped my decision-making.
Everything that worked before still works now.
The only thing that was different from what we expected was the RAM.
We thought it was upgradeable to 40 GB and that it already had an 8GB memory stick soldered in with space for the 32GB one we bought. When Roy opened it up to do the upgrade yesterday, he discovered that was not the case. There was only 1 slot for a memory stick with the 8GB already there.
I am not complaining. It boots up very fast and it has the speed required and more for what I do.
Most of the afternoon yesterday was spent getting the new laptop set up and moving to Windows 11, etc. That was after having worked at my cousin's office from 8 am to 1 pm.
Busy day yesterday and today is for catching up with online work.
Onto my weekly Hive stacks progress.
I bought my LTC and Hive on Thursday to get a head start on my weekly
token buying.
There is 8.070 Hive left in my wallet from last week when I bought $35 USD worth of Hive to pay Affiliate commissions for The Pizza Plan.
I also used some of it to Power Up Hive on this month's HPUD
So that just means I have a bit extra to invest invest in tokens because I still did my weekly $16 USD fiat DCA to buy LTC.
Sent $14.37 USD worth of LTC to Blocktrades for 32.32 Hive tokens
Used the Swap feature in Hivepay.io to deposit to Swap.Hive
Still had 0.27552815 Swap.Hive in Hive Engine from last week.
Sent 40.39 Hive and will receive 40.309 after a fee of 0.081 Hive
As of 3/3, I had 40.58452815 Swap.Hive to invest this week.
But I ended up doing my token buying, today, Saturday instead.
In the meantime, I received 0.00006151 Swap.Hive from hivehustlers
And my weekly Swap.Hive from bbhbot from holding BBH tokens.
That was 0.27220199 SWAP.HIVE
