Staring at the screen of my friend's laptop; i reminisce the old times with my laptop when it was in working condition with its soft keys that never made noise while typing incessantly like i am now, with an additional nagging from my friend to stop the goddamn typing. I will, once i tell my story. Here it goes......
It was Summer of 2012. Elated with the completion of my first year of Engineering, i came home to a brand new laptop my brother bought for me, which will be my love of life for the next two and a half years.
The first few months were great between us. Our chemistry was mesmerizing, the machine worked flawlessly and i loved every aspect of it and its safe to assume that my laptop loved me back too, selflessly! And then within few months, as every relationship encounters problems, we had one too. The genuineness of Windows 7 software became a glitch to the almost perfect system. I started disliking it; for the initial infatuation was lost and i tried switching to other Operating System. Ubuntu seemed a better option. Easy to download and great software and never gets virus! I indulged in the idea for a while. Well, i did more than just indulging when my poor Windows 7 suffered.
After a lot of attempts and giving up on Ubuntu; for different reasons; a solution came up. A software that can overwrite "windows is not genuine". Once again, everything went back to normal and we resumed our relationship. Sometimes, things just fall back into place even when everything seems hopeless. Soon as time passed, another component got added, the 'external keyboard' to make things easier; for typing of course. But you know, who would like the idea of carrying the keyboard everywhere you go with your laptop?! It was tiresome, yet something i made peace with. We were happy that way!
An year passed and still no problem and i boasted of my laptop. And then the storm hit us. It suddenly stopped working and upon consulting a technician; i was told i should format or rather have an upgraded version instead of Windows 7! I was always told to have a backup for times like these and i gave a deaf ear for that. Its almost like losing a whole 10000 word essay with a single 'close' button accidentally clicked only because you forgot saving it earlier! Without any backup, without the working laptop; it just feels like some deficiency in life. But it goes without saying that we did good. The machine worked without any major flaws for a long period. Afterall, its Lenovo! That my dear reader, is my love story with a Lenovo B570 i3 Core Processor with 8GB RAM, 650GB HDD!
So what went wrong? Was it the backup or was my attempts at installing Ubuntu previously weren't good enough? I am still figuring out while the other part of brain is busy finding out who's got a Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit cracked version to format my C-drive.
Please notify me if you have it. Its utmost needed.
Guess its time to 'stop typing'. Adios.
