So, I’ve been writing a 175k word One Piece fanfic for about 6 months. Most of my writing is done on a 10 year-old laptop I dug out of the closet while I wait for my kid to finish sports practice. Today, the hard-drive died. (Thankfully I have a cloud backup.)

Now, without a laptop, I have nothing to continue working on. I can’t afford a new laptop. Just glad I didn’t lose all my work.

    You don’t even have to feel bad about it either! As Microsoft once said, Windows 10 is the last windows operating system. Sounds like you already owned that, so you’re good.

    I’ve even contacted MS support before telling them I wasn’t going to buy windows 11 as I paid for 10 and they said that was the last version. They gave me a new key no questions asked.
