For home computer -- problem solver who likes to work with PCs and associated equipment

December 27, 2016 10:15 PM

Knowledgeable, patient, tech person who can assess my current home computer set up (Dell All in One), switch me to the new hardware/software listed below, suggest and setup appropriate backup perhaps to a cloud system, and assist me with any necessary further purchases. Likely include transfer of some existing data from Dell.

New hardware/software:
--MS Surface Pro 4 (with MS Office 365 Personal software to be installed);
--a gently used HP PhotoSmart Premium C309g All in One (printer/scanner/copier).
--Amazon Echo.
--iPod on which all my music is stored.
--Roku for my TV, and Amazon Prime.
--older modem.
--contemplating a new iPad, this may be redundant?

I have DSL, think I should switch to FiOS.

I don't know if my external drive is set to backup correctly; and, suspect I should be backing up to the cloud.

I'd like to drop my primary email (Thunderbird) and switch to my existing Gmail account. That could be problematic, for REASONS.

Tldr: I need someone to help me sort out my home computer, and do the technical stuff, while not entirely shutting me out of the process.
