They put a bug on my computer that has a 500GB appetite for free space. My computer is 469GB. By the time I was made aware of what's happening my free space was down to ~5GB.
MS released a patch, but it requires ~6GB to install and run. By the time I was made aware of the patch, my free space was down to ~2GB. I tried to download the patch several times but it aborted each time for lack of space.
I deleted programs and files but as soon as I did, the bug ate the free space.
Now, I can't even reformat and restore because that process also requires 6GB to run. It aborts and tells me to erase enough programs to let it run.
It's an old computer so it's not worth much, but it ran ok till now. There is a program I bought in digital form and have no cd backup.
W/win 11, can a bible study program be transferred from this computer to a new computer? AI says no. It can't even be transferred to an external drive.
