My laptop is fucked - perhaps from downloading 10,000 fonts the other day, which in hindsight was not a very bright thing to do
Anyfuck. I've backed up all my files. Here in Bangkok, basically everyone is using a pirated copy of everything - I wouldn't even know where to go to get a legitimate copy of Windows or Office. I've asked at the shops and they don't know either. This morning I was planning to go to the shop I know best and have my system wiped clean, and then re-install pirated copies of Windows 8.1 (which I loathe), Office, and Adobe Creative Suite.
Then I saw this thread, so I'm not sure what to do now. (I hadn't realized Windows 10 was this close to coming out.) I'd be willing to buy Windows 8.1 and then use that legitimate copy to upgrade to 10 if it was worth it - I really fucking hate 8.1 very much - but I guess I would have to buy it online, since the computer wouldn't have an OS on it to use to connect to the internet, so I'd have to use my other computer to download it, then transfer it over to the laptop via external hard drive ...
I've just severely confused myself.
