Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
I pulled out an old laptop I have not used in a couple of years, at the time it was giving me problems so I bought a cheap Chromebook to replace it.
In the past I had been able to factory reset and bring it back but when I tried resetting it to original factory settings today it stops at 7% and kicks me back to the F11 screen
It looks like the drive is failing according to the DST test, I can pick one up on EBAY (used) for about $50 with Windows 10 preloaded and I'm trying to decide if it's worth fixing.
The laptop has a 500GB drive and touch screen which at the moment is not working, I assume because of the bad drive? It originally came preloaded with Windows 8 with a free upgrade to Windows 10.
Before I recycle it, I was wondering if there is anything else I can do to at least reload Windows to see if that might fix the issue. It running right now on 10 but very sluggish and unresponsive.
What would you do?
