Hard Drive failure
Added 2016-10-01 16:53:01 +0000 UTCI just lost all my drawings... ;___; When I moved my mouse this morning, I realized that my computer was totally frozen : no mouse, no keyboard reaction.... time was also frozen to 23:15. I did a forced restart... And since then, nothing. No boot : my system hard-drive is... empty. 0_o That alone means several thing : 1) have to buy a new hard drive... the previous one doesn't react even on another computer. 2) have to do a clean install... it's gonna take ages again and I'll have to pay for windows 10... 2 months only after the upgrade. *sigh* 3) all my drawings are lost: all my WIPs, and a couple of finished pics I was about to upload. Hopefully, I think they are on my Dropbox... so I "might" be able to retrieve them. Since I can't provide you with updates, please don't send me money for this month : I'd feel bad for receiving funds while I'm unable to provide you anything... >_

2016-10-10 15:26:21 +0000 UTCYou should have created backups to an external harddrive, NAS (Network Attached Storage), have had a RAID (redundant array of independant drives) array (Google it) or just had a cloud account to put it on (OneDrive gives you 15 GB for free). Maybe something to think about in the future... You could also bring the harddrive to a computer repair shop. They can check whats wrong and might be able to repair something (except for internal issues)

2016-10-02 18:12:37 +0000 UTCDon't buy a new Windows 10 license. Instead, download the "windows media creation tool" from the Microsoft Website and install using that. During the installation it will ask for a license key, don't enter one. There will be an option to skip entering a license key. If you upgraded Windows 10 during the free upgrade timeframe then your computer is already licensed and will get that license from the Microsoft servers. If it does not automatically license then you can always enter a license key later. If you are buying a new computer then you do have to buy a new copy of Windows.

2016-10-01 20:23:54 +0000 UTCThis is why I obsessively back-up all of my data. Especially unique data that can't be recovered by other means.
