Thanks, Sam and I know that I'll eventually have to bite the bullet, but for now, I chose to follow a link given at another site that allowed me to reset the phone without losing everything and it appears to be working flawlessly.  At least I'll be able to shop for a replacement at my leisure instead of a rush job.

OK, I know it's old, but I'm perfectly happy with it for the most part.  Besides, I'm a telephone man, not a cell phone man, hence the reason for coming here seeking assistance.

My "phone" is becoming increasingly slow, both in opening apps and even when texting.  I often have to close the texting app and reopen it to continue typing my message.  I'm not sure if this is a case of the thing just being worn out or if it's a case of the "phone's" resources (memory) being tapped out.

I'm also finding more and more apps, for example my mobile banking app, which requires me to update it.  Unfortunately, it only runs on iOS13.0 and higher.  This isn't the only app that is doing this.  I've tried to update the iOS, but it will only go up to 12.5 5.

I know that there is a reset function, which I would like to assume that it's similar to scandisk/defrag on a PC.  Something tells me that Apple's definition of the word 'reset' means wiping it out and starting over.  I'm not about to risk it without some guidance. 

Can anyone offer me any assistance here or is it time to buy another "phone"?

You can partition the drive but why would you want to do that? Why not just move all your data over to the larger drive and organize it with new folders?

I have this 3 TB drive attached to my desktop, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to make 2 drives out of it, or know where I could get the info to do that?  The reason I want to do this is that my old laptop hard drive is also attached to my desktop, but it only has 3.18 GB available out of 448 GB, so I was going to move all the info from the laptop hard drive to the 3 TB that was divided into two drives.  Any suggestions?

I've used QB desktop for a while, although I'm only scratching the surface with what it can do.

I updated to QB 2017 the last time. I had the install disk and when I got a Win 10 computer a few years ago, it installed fine and updated when updates were available. A few months ago I got a new laptop with Win 11. I thought it was time to update QB, so I looked online and discovered that there were no more standalone, desktop versions available. Even tho they called it a "desktop" version, it required a subscription.

I was able to use my install disk once again. Did the update and I was back to where I wanted to be. Now I'm careful to not click on anymore updates that are offered, because I think that might put me into a subscription model. Not going there.

Online, I found a lot of unhappy customers and former customers that said the new desktop subscription indeed keeps your data in the cloud. And if you decide to quit using QB, you cannot get your data back. Doesn't sound good.

Good luck Stacey.
