Got an HP "all in one". 27" screen for my aging eyes, Pentium I-7, and
I forget all the rest. Hopefully I'll get all my passwords, etc.,
transferred before the old, 9 year old laptop gives up the ghost.

I was a little nervous about making the transition from Win 7 to Win
10 so I spent almost an hour at the store playing with it. Not as bad
as I feared. I was concerned because I remember playing with a
computer that had Win 8 on it and it was horrible.

The the monitor dies on and all-in-one, can you hook up an external
monitor to move your data from it?

Thank God for Google (and Al Gore, of course):

But don't worry, you can output video through the USB ports on your HP all-in-one desktop! ...
Connect your computer to the USB to Video Adapter with your USB cable. Connect an HDMI, DVI-D or DVI
to VGA cable from the USB to Video Adapter to your second monitor.
