I had no time to even turn on the computer since the post. I assumed i still had the youtube videos saved that were the "fix" to my problem. I really want nothing more to get away from windows. When i tried to swith the first time, i literally had to plug in a usb stick and i was running linux. But that was 4 computers ago. It's not that the sources might be dangerous. Usually when i have computer problems i use youtube, because i can see it, hear it, and replicate it. Usually 2000 videos show up and they all explain the same thing. In this case i found like 4 videos and most of them were pretty old or in 480p or filmed with a mobile phone. Computers are just a hobby to me, all i know about computers, figured out myself. And i don't really understand what the lie is with the windows installer. I used every windows simce 3.1 and i always hated the install process because it's "scary". But the last few times i put in a usb stick and waited and it was done.
