I had finals Monday, Tuesday, and "Friday..." and was supposed to travel to Seattle on Thursday, but I think I was too stressed, and trying to travel to another state and wandering around for 24 hours since I had a nap seemed statistically unlikely to succeed.
I pulled the hard drives from my desktop and laptop and transferred my personal files.
I just wanted to copy the files I made in the 3 weeks I used the thus-far-uninspiring thing, which I wanted to call a moon-faced assassin of joy, but I have been wavering between one more minor inconvenience I am exchanging it for a better computer and installing win 10 on a new SSD and seeing if that works--and the screen stops going black momentarily.
So there I was, minding my own business, and I couldn't open or write files.
I planned on resetting Windows as soon as I backed up my files.
When I couldn't do that, I tried creating a Linux boot drive, but I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere with that, so I gave up, and reset Windows.
Somehow I had thought Mom’s laptop is 6 years old, although I don’t see where I claimed that.
Maybe Imgur, but I am not going back and looking!
I just wanted to see how much RAM it has and I saw that I bought it on 02/03/2020, so 4.75 years?
Four GB, by the way.
It normally works fine, but right now I have 6 browser windows open, and I connected it to my 4k TV to submit my clinical hours.
I also needed to submit something Monday night, but I keep forgetting I can do that in Google.
I went crazy and opened all kinds of tabs on Mom’s computer, which bogged down, so instead of trying to fix my laptop, I went through all of those tabs.
For some bizarre reason, my school uses Gmail, but a Microsoft authenticator. Each time I tried to log into my Google account, it tried to log into my school account.
Each time I tried to figure out how to fix this, I kept reading “Just reach out to Google support!”
“I can’t log in!”
I finally logged into my school account and switched to my personal account.
By the way, I haven’t received Ecomodder notifications for several months.
I really hope my account keeps working!
I always think it is bizarre when Amazon says “People who bought this laptop also bought these!”
Really?
People buy four different laptops at the same time?
That sounds like a nightmare!
I found my Samsung 990 Pro SSD.
I can install Win10 on it and see if the computer finally works right.
This is the newest win10 computer I found on NewEgg:

The win10 computers I found on Amazon were as old as mine or older!
It worked, though, just wore out.
This HP has the same processor as the two Dells I bought, 32 GB RAM like the first one, but a 512 GB SSD and a 1 TB 7,200RPM HD
It only has on-board graphics and I can’t find out how many expansion slots it may have or the power supply:

I have so many things to do! I can’t spend all of my time trying to fix computers and failing!
