Hi folks, I used to play SH3, & had quite a lot of mods thanks to the clever folk on here.
Then I had to change (or more likely update my PC....I had a local friend who could do anything. I struggled to install the mods after that upgrade, so just ran the basic game, but it crashed frequently. I then used a laptop for general web stuff & forgot about SH3.

Laptop broke. So used old pc, but the XP prevents a growing number of web pages from opening.

The other day I got an email re Wolfpack, so it's got me interested.

I would probably start again with SH3, - I tried SH4 & didn't like it. I've seen bad press about SH5..... to be avoided?

So I'm thinking I'd try a modded version of SH3 & perhaps Wolfpack Solo.

But I'm close to a dullard with computers. Seems like Windows 7 or 10 are the options.... which? I'm not sure whether to buy new or possibly a 'refurbished' one. A year's warranty advisable. ??
Or gut my tower & replace the components. The power supply is 450w..... enough?
I'm in the UK.

Any advice most welcome.
