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. 🙏🙏

    Call me crazy, but universities have libraries and labs with computers that any student can use to work on assignments.

    If you really need a computer and don’t have the budget for one that costs $600, then don’t get a $600 computer. There are plenty of old office PCs on eBay that you can get for less than $100 and they should be fine for only homework. Just search for “Office PC” on there. This is not the place to be asking for money, but I hope you find something that fits your budget and that university goes well.

      OP might need a beefier rig depending on the programme they’re in. Not saying they couldn’t go for something cheaper, but there might be a reason for the pricetag.

      Alright, I will get that instead, though I would prefer something that’s durable and lasts longer.

          Excellent. Something cheap but powerful.

          Frankly? I want to use it for gaming as well and video-editing. Other things besides school and Internet. Basically, for as many functions as possible.

      I don’t exactly know… It requires a recovery key and I lost that a long time ago. When I got into my Microsoft account, it didn’t have it…

    Tell me that someone has mentioned resting this system with a Linux distro? Wouldn’t that resolve the problem?

      I tried to install a Linux distro but I was unsuccessful. That’s how I ended up in this problem.

    Go on that other website and look for the subreddits where people are begging for money for food, and post there. Also, just tell your teacher and they should be able to provide an extension and maybe help you in finding a way to get it done.

      I already did.

      I’m not begging either.
