And backup, backup, backup. Use a service or get an external hard drive you backup with and then take offline to protect.
Laptops are better now but they do get heated. You can hook up a big monitor or use your old one. Check what got “fried” on your system. If it’s only the CPU board it might be cheaper and easier to have it replaced. As long as the hard drive is still okay it will have all your programs and files.

I concur!
I bought an APC Battery Backup at Walmart about 8 years ago. It cost about $40 and only has a few minutes of reserve energy, but it has saved me many times, especially during the erratic spring and fall electrical storms.
The original battery lasted about a year. I replaced it with another brand and it is still working at full charge.
