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.

I think I may have tried EtchDroid in the past based on screenshots, but it seems it's still not suitable for Windows:

I also found this on Play store with people reporting success with Windows in the reviews. I haven't seen this one before, but it seems it requires "coins". It's possible to get those by watching ads it seems.:

Anyway, have you followed this Microsoft's guide to make sure you really don't have access to the recovery key on https://account.microsoft.com/devices/recoverykey as noted there?
Just in case, it would be simpler.

I will check the last link. Thank you.

This is what I got.

Well, that's unfortunate. So you'll have to proceed with the re-install.

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, seems like it...
