What??? In earlier versions, we had to lift a couple of legs on the chips, a 50cm bodge wire, and finally shorting a capacitor while booting. Finally the write protection disabled, which allowed one to flash an older BIOS that allowed usb booting. The major downside was that it was a tethered jailbreak. But we made it work…except for the fly-aways.
If you’re doing anything private on that computer, like social media, banking, cell phone payments, you need to get an operating system that gets current security updates. Windows 7 has not had security updates in 6 years. Malware, ransomware, etc have had 6 years to break Windows 7. Look at Linux Mint, it is a popular distributor, that many find to be a good bridge to get you up and running.
Are you able to get a usb mouse and keyboard to plug in?

Market share for Win 7-8.1 is, no joke, 0.69% (nice). And how many of those users are running FireFox?
I’m such a nonconformist that I tell people Linux is terrible, and that they should never try it.
Christians. They deserve special treatment, because they are all special.
If you stay still, you get left behind. I don’t expect someone to hold my hand, maintaining a friendship. But man, it would be so nice for my “best friend” to reach out like she used to. I said I didn’t want to drink with her friends anymore, and apparently that meant I didn’t want to hang out with her anymore. I’ve tried a couple of times to initiate a meetup for us, she just does not seem interested in that anymore. Whatever.
The lesson is that people let you down. You listen and help them get through their difficult periods in life, but then can be forgotten when something better comes along.
Depends. You did schedule backups right? Right?
