Yesterday I received my laptop earlier than expected. I was told that I was going to receive on March 3rd and that they were going to wipe away everything in the hard drive, even though it was just my screen that needed repair (seriously why do they keep saying things like that? lol), so in an attempt to save everything, I bought an HDMI cable, connected it to my television and started to save and store everything onto my USB. Then when I heard that my laptop has returned, I immediately rushed to Best Buy (don't worry it is literally a 10 minute walk from where I live) and picked it up with precaution. When I finally returned home, I turned my laptop to see that it had everything that I thought was going to be eradicated still in tact. Though I was little upset that I had to buy an HDMI cable and spent roughly an hour in an attempt to save everything that I wanted, at least with the cable I can see what's on my monitor in a bigger screen so that's nice!
Anyways, I'm just happy to be reunited with my laptop because now I can finally continue to study how to use GIMP/Photoshop so I can make graphics for myself and anyone who wants to request one. Granted I will accept all kinds of assistance as I really want to fully understand what to do and make these graphics as efficiently as I can. Today is really a happy day for me!
