The Kingston Historical Society wants your functional-but-not-Windows 11 up-gradable computer! We need a few laptops for:
- Data Entry
- Interactive Display Kiosks
- Database Maintenance
- Documenting Interviews and Events
- Traveling Presentations
We are interested in Windows 7,8 or 10 Laptops in working order with a working Display, Wifi, a Power Supply, and Battery.
We will be modifying the laptops to add a new hard drive and operating system and will be removing your hard drive (files) and giving it to you to save or destroy.
We will give you the hard drive and a letter of donation thanks from our 501(c)3 organization.
Because we will be removing the hard drive in front of you, we ask you to donate in person (or someone you designate.) We will plan some sessions at the Kingston Locktender’s House for this process. Please fill out the form below and we will arrange a day and time via e-mail.
Display = The screen in the lid of a laptop computer
WiFi = Usually built in to the laptop, sometimes something that plugs in to a USB port. It connects to the Internet using a digital method 802.11b/g/n, etc.
Power Supply = a small block that plugs in to the 120V outlet and has a wire that connects to the laptop to power it or charge the battery.
Mouse = Either a computer mouse, Track Ball, Touch Pad, or a Touch Point.
Battery= Usually built in to the bottom of the laptop computer. It powers the laptop when not connected to the power supply.
