Hello everyone. As of today, I need some really big help. My laptop was acting really strange, when I tried to open a tab, it would respond with, [Program] isn't working. it was slowing everything down and was really strange. Then a pop-up appeared saying boot device not installed. After I got that error I got similar errors lik no boot device, insert boot disk and press any key. I dont know what to do and is really upsetting. Can anyone help me
