<\/a>Do you have an old laptop that you have stopped using? Perhaps you are using Windows 10 or an earlier version that is no longer supported and are considering a new purchase. There is a possible alternative. At the Wenvoe Repair Caf\u00e9 we are committed to avoiding the sending of electrical items to landfill and have been researching the process of migrating old laptops to the open-source Linux operating system to give them an extended life. One of our fixers is now able to offer advice on the suitability of the system for your laptop and, where appropriate, carry out the migration process for you. With effect from our repair caf\u00e9 on 28th February 2026 you can bring along your laptop to see if we can help. As long as you have the necessary power lead and your laptop will switch on and is, at best, not more than 10 or 12 years old, then bring it along and we will see what we can do. Be sure to back up any data that you wish to keep as the process involves erasing the hard drive. We will not be able to deal with hardware problems or replacement parts, but maybe we can save some of these faithful old machines from the skip and possibly save yourselves the expense of a replacement!<\/p>\n
