Either way, homework aside, I need a new PC and I see one for $500 to $600, maybe $400.

I’ll post what I said elsewhere:

I need:

At least $400, maybe more, for a good PC so I can do my homework.

…I lost mine. I am typing from my tablet as we speak. And it sucks. Genuinely sucks. Ugh.

Cash app is:

P.S. But yeah, like I said, I really fucked up my PC, err, accidentally. It’s… Yeah. I 2as planning to switch to a new one for about $600 and I may be able to scrounge up what I have to get on3 quickly, but I’m… going to need some help. Thank you all kindly. 🙏🙏

    Bruh, I just came across this comment…your PC isn’t “damaged” - all you gotta do is either find the lost BitLocker key, or reinstall the OS. Here’s what you could do - remove the NVME, or the M.2 SSD, or the HDD (if that’s what you’re still on), to your brother’s PC, and move all the required files to a safe space. Then create an installation media for Windows, and well, there you go.

    And comrade, please, I urge you to learn to be computer-savy, and perhaps, use a Linux desktop, if you’re not constrained by any Windows-exclusive apps. Perhaps Bazzite may be a good choice. Or Ubuntu, maybe Fedora? Why would you stick to a capitalist turd OS with multiple NSA backdoors is beyond my understanding.

    Microsoft literally (and no, I’m not joking) uses telemetry services in the background, fills your computer with bloatware, and doesn’t give you the freedom to use your own purchased OS. And now, they’ve also started taking screenshots of your computer (yes, for real - it is related to some sort of AI bullshit - Copilot PC was it?).

      I see…

      I don’t have my BitLocker key, is the problem, even after checking my Microsoft account.

      It sucks…
