My weekend nightmare

I'm glad you got it fixed. My Win 7 PC recently died after updates to Roblox. It could be that the HDD is done. PC is from 2009, still ran Roblox fine, yet after an update Roblox at first didn't work anymore (fixed after re-installing it 5 times after another update) But now the whole PC is dead. (Was running Roblox, next time I checked it was on the repair windows screen) All I get now is "windows could not boot" run repair, "looking for problems" and that stays up indefinitely. (I let it run for over 24 hours, no change, just a busy animation looking for problems)

I have no clue where to begin, also it's not really worth the time to fix a nearly 14 year old PC. Still sucks as I used it for copying stuff to my external backup drives since it has plenty USB ports and all the different types of card and disc readers build in. I can't install my old PC games anymore :/

Well assuming that HDD is also 14 years old, you could easily just buy a new HDD with more space for less money than the old one.

I just built myself a new PC and my previous built was from around 2008. It was still working alright but I needed an upgrade since the GPU couldn't output 4k (which means I could only benefit from the 4k picture of my TV using my Series X) and it was pretty slow when booting and browsing YouTube. I guess not even the CPU would've been able to allow for 4k streaming lol.
