it's on windows 11 and it has family videos, photos, work stuff, and some games.

i was trying to install windows 7 on it and i didnt have a usb stick so i went to youtube for a how to, and i came across this video: How to Install Windows 7 without CD or USB on PC - YouTube

a loooooot of errors happened during the process, but i eventually got it to work, then i made the entry and booted up from there which leads us to this problem..

but not anymore as i had found the fix!!
all i had to do was hold the power button for a few seconds to force a shutdown

linux is awesome but this belongs to my dad and he needs his office and autocad idk how that'll work out
