So I have an old Optiplex 990 with a Core i7 and a 1050 ti with 12 gb of ram, got the computer for college in 2017 and have loved it ever since. I was playing Terraria since it updated, i played on a old save file with the new updates, bad choice I know. Everything went great and then I hit my home base and was hit with 3 freezes that lasted for about a minute each time I'd get farther in and then my computer blue screened. I reset it and when I did it said no boot drive found, I ran a diagnostic and it said everything was great except for the HDD, it couldn't find it. I switched the boot from legacy to UEFI, and back again to see if that did anything nothing. So I think I corrupted or broke my HDD good thing is I didn't have anything that important on it except some old school files and maybe some pictures. I had been thinking about getting an SSD, and now I'm pretty much decided on it, I bought one this morning and am planning on getting it put in on Friday. I guess my question is, I don't know if I'm going to have to rebuy a windows key or if it will recognize it with the system? I have a 2 TB external HDD that I used to store a bunch of big games and other stuff that I didn't want bogging down the systems 500 GB HDD so I don't know if that will have a copy of Windows on it or if I will have to completely reset up my computer. Just wondering if anyone would have information on how to fix a HDD or if I'll need to rebuy Windows to put on my new SSD. Thank you

Hello, my sister has broken her phone and the screen is permanently stuck in this look, the bottom half of the screen can be typed and used but it just can't be seen, do any of you know what part I need to fix, I'm thinking just a screen LCD fix, but I could be wrong, any help would be much appreciated, Thank you

I wasn't sure, I've just got into computers about a year ago, but thanks you guys!

Hey was looking at a computer for school and some gaming here and there and I am not sure if this is a very good deal or if the cpu might be too old to be worth it anymore.
