    First off, welcome to the forum! 
    This is a fairly easy fix. Right click the windows icon in the bottom left, then click disk management,  pick your C drive (Probably labeled "Disk 0"), delete the smaller volume, then right click on local disk, then click expand volume. That should do it for ya!

    I'm sure a few will know what this is, but most prob won't. This is the first computer I ever got to play with. I was 5 or 6 years old when my mom brought it home. It's came with 80kb of ram! And the data drives used a cassette. Very cool little computer. This has been the one computer I really wanted to complete my collection (as if I could ever call it complete.)

    "My Computer stopped working .... I've looked at the back of the system there was a "propeller" and this thing was quite messy so i took a water spray bottle and try ed to clean it"
     
     
    Um yeah .... the system was turned on, i bet the admins reaction to the clients "cleaning" effort was priceless

    When people are still using USB sticks to store their personal documents and applications on them and then they lose & forget them all the time around the school building even though everybody has got access to 1 TB of free to use OneDrive Cloud Storage. When people still don't get it that they have to move all of their data that is on the Home drive on their Image on the Server over to OneDrive by end of next week because that will all be deleted because my school is moving to a complete Cloud solution.
     
    Also I see everyday people using their phones in public with full brightness showing everybody what they've got on screen. The stuff I've seen on peoples phones is just ridiculous to say the least...

    - Use wired ethernet connection in the dorm room. The WiFi is likely to be overloaded with all the students, particularly in the evening/night.
    - Use internet sharing on your desktop and connect your laptop via WiFi to get seamless internet without using the public WiFi. If anyone asks, you're using it to transfer files.
    - Look into using a VPN. The school has access to snoop on your internet habits and will have rules regarding the use of the network. 
    - Make sure you have a good password and lock your computer when you leave it, even if just for a moment.
    - See if there are any gaming clubs on campus. Go to LAN parties and game competitions if that's your thing. Some clubs may even have game servers hosted on campus.
    - Don't sit in your dorm room on the computer every minute you're not in class. Go out and explore. Meet new people. Try new things. Get out of your comfort zone.

    Being a fellow Tech Tuber going to have to help you understand.  Our passion is technology, we love innovation and we want to share it with people.  Sure, a different crowd/audience watches those videos, but Linus doesn't just do videos for pure views.  He's a 30ish year old guy who loves tech and sharing it with people.

    According to metrics:

    BMW's Crazy Surprise - still less than 1 million views after 3 days
     
    News flash Linus, your viewers don't give two flying fucks about BMW, 90% of your viewers are 14 year olds with craptops and fantasies about quad titan SLI. Your viewers also don't give two shits if BMW sponsored your video, I'll bet you my $3800 dual socket workstation that not a single person who watched that video thought "Hm, I should buy a BMW!".

    Just looked at the Whois for that domain, they are using a whois shield protector, so effectively masking the actual domain registrar. They don't have any return address on file and the Reddit link I posted is full of people saying its a scam and to avoid it. Plus you'd probably get a warranty from Wyze if you bought it there anyway.

    I see they sell on amazon also for a few bucks more. If your worried about return policy just buy it there. Amazons return policy is crazy easy.
