I swear Technology hates me.

I swear Technology hates me.
So little over two weeks ago, my phone of 7 years died. I'm not working anywhere and with what little money in savings from my last job I was able to buy a cheap Blu Studio phone. Well yesterday my SSD from my Computer decided it wanted to die as well. Yesterday morning PC as working fine. I went downstairs to feed and walk the dogs, when I came back I was greeted with this screen:

So I did what it told me, then I was greeted with this screen:

(Not my Photo, mine didn't have an hp link)

Checked my phone to troubleshoot, changed the cables. That seemed to work, cept the computer was moving extremely slow. Still I took the time to backup the essentails on DVDs. Short from reinsalling windows I did everything, reset Bios settings, Checked boot order, rebuild bootrec. Computer still runs slow for hours. Then starts working almost normal after that. It's obvious my Hard Drive is failing. I know the signs as I've dealt with a failing drive before. And while I do have a 500gb Hard Drive from an old computer on this one, that one is used to back up files of larger sizes. My PC also didn't come with a Windows 10 CD which is what you need to shift windows to another drive though I doubt there is enough space for both windows and my backups on that Hard Drive.

Honestly I cannot afford a Hard Drive. I just don't have money period. I can't even ebeg. And what's worse is that I have a trial that is online, THIS MONTH, but at the very least I can do that on my Phone. But I also use my PC to find and apply to jobs. To contiune doing Graphic Arts work to keep my skills alive and to express myself. I recently started a blog so that I have a release and that site is on tumblr and the app for that is hell. I just can't anymore. I can't keep up. I'll countine to make backups on DVDs until the PC goes black and that'll be it until I can get a job.
