Step 1) Lay your computer on its side so that the side that opens is on top
2)Open it, there are normally screws on the side of the back
3) Don't pull the case of it normally has wires connected to it
4) Touch the metallic part of the case to discharge static
5) Find the hard drive, it's usually a silver block type thing and it's normally just on its own with 2 wires connected to it
6) remove the 2 wires
7) download and play Arma: 3 and download the map Whole Lotta Altis
8 ) Unscrew the hard drive
9) Take it out
10) Screw the other hard drive in there
11) Connect the two wires
12) close the case
13) screw the side panel back on
14) Boot up computer
15) Reinstall windows
16) Windows key will be most probably somewhere on the case, if not just pirate windows
17) Have fun you are now level 2 $$$ saver
You guys don't understand how I work I buy a prebuilt computer and build on to it I'm not the type to buy parts all at once I buy them over time not all at once and since I have a few good parts from my old computer like the CPU and the graphics card I can put on to the prebuilt so the prebuilt is just for me to add on stuff not because im lazy its because I do it over time and plus I can't afford every thing all at once
That's why you buy just a hard drive and then you add that onto the computer that broke, simple. you don't need to buy a new mother board or case if your hard drive broke, all you need is to buy another hard drive and follow the instructions I made you

What's the point of a pre-built if you're going to just change the main components, it'll be a big waste of money since all you're really getting is a motherboard, hard drive, PSU and case. Just buy a hard drive and then add that to your current computer, that's easier than buying a pre-built then replacing the CPU and GPU of the pre-built, the pre-built may not even have a compatible socket for your CPU, when all that's broken is a hard drive, you could literally just buy a hard drive, rather than buying a pre-built and then replacing the CPU and GPU, you may even break the components. Don't touch it if there's no point

Depression is classified as a mental health disorder. It’s a condition that most often surfaces in early adulthood and is more prevalent in women. However, anyone at any age may suffer from the disorder.

Try Xbuntu, its like Linux for beginners. Ubuntu is better in my optinion but its a start.
Linux > Windows
if i was to move into more professional things i would dual boot to Ubuntu and use Windows for games. Ubuntu and other linux types are godlike in multitasking and are very lightweight most of the time. Minecraft is linux compatible and you only need to input a string of commands and its all installed and ready for use, same goes for installing steam and any other app.

I understand that you guys are trying to help but I just want to start fresh on a new computer
And as I said my dell is old it is on its last leg fighting so the best thing I can do is donate it to the salvation army they said they can fix it and they will give it to someone that needs it more than me I rather give it away to people that need it than to put it in the attic or put it to the curb
So as I on my phone waiting for my computer to get here I'll like to say
ILL BE BACK
