At Repair Cafe The Grove we love diverting valued items from that mysterious destination called ‘the waste stream’, usually by fixing them when they are broken.
But there’s another flow of wasted value that we’re keen to divert caused by technology becoming ‘out of date’ even though it’s working fine.
Many computer users have received notification that their computer is not compatible with the latest version of its operating system, and that support for their current version has ended. Unfortunately, it’s true!
If you’re uncomfortable about throwing it away and buying a new one, our volunteers may be able to give your old computer a new lease on life by changing to an alternative operating system that is secure, reputable and free.
