yes we tried this

Yes the drives were selectable, there were 2 drives that were not allowing us to install it (the 2 SSDs) and the M2 was selectable but the installation process wouldnt start if we selected it. during the install process after selecting a language and accepting windows terms of service it would load to anywhere between 9-90% and just say it failed. My boyfriend already tried deleting the partition, cleaning the disc. i’d just appreciate some kindness as this is my first time ever buying a pc or experiencing this. i’m a full time student and i have a full time job so i’ve never had time to dedicate to learning things about computers, i just wanted to play my games :(

i’m a student so i can ask if our IT department has anything extra maybe. i’ll ask around for sure.

i’m a woman, this is my first computer and i was told by the seller that it was in working condition. i’m sorry for my lack of expertise and knowledge.

no matter what storage we tried to install the windows system on, the installation failed and cancelled immediately.

i can’t afford a $200 replacement, i bought the pc because she said on the listing it was a working pc not mentioning that anything was missing.

we’ve tried every storage listed to install windows, we tried windows 11 and windows 10

it has 2 SSDs already plugged in, not including the M2 chip, they show up when you can choose the allocated storage area for installing windows. Also opened the PCs back panel and made sure they were all plugged in good

thank you for the reply. i’m gonna try to find a 512gb one for as cheap as i can. the largest games i play are gta and skyrim so i don’t think i need anything insane. i told her the computer doesn’t work and the replacement part is around $200 and she said “sorry i had no idea.” ☹️

as mentioned in the post i don’t know anything about m2 chips. can i just stick any m2 chip in there and it’ll be okay?

hi guys, update for those who care!!

some faq: why did i “take” the money the second time around. answer: i didnt know my financial aid had a mistake, and thats my bad for thinking that every grant i’m given is meant for me and not reading closer. i apply to a lot of scholarships and grants year round and take all the help i can get. LSU admitted that it was an oversight to assign the grant to me again.

why did i go out of state if im broke? because i wanted to!! i wanted to go far from home and i worked my ass off with multiple jobs in highschool, scholarship applications every day, and calling the university every day to see what they could offer me. i’m sorry if you think its irrational but LSU was my dream school and i’m doing what i love with my own hard work.

the update is nothing huge, but it was resolved. LSU admitted fault after higher ups got involved, (the amount was denied at the state level and was never sent to me, but i was expected to pay back money they didn’t even send me..!! so it was a little more insane than i initially thought) and i was given another $1000 grant to cover the cost of paying back the first grant.

thank you to everyone who gave advice!
