Hello @Jacob107 

 

(1) The "old" hard disk should be removed from your notebook.

(2) Another Windows computer can transfer the data using a SATA-to-USB adapter

(3) A new hard disk should be installed and the Windows operating system reinstalled.

 

Ask a friend/neighbour/acquaintance who is good with computers to help you.

 

Kind regards
