They'll also xfer all apps and data too (for additional fee). Seems high. Dell will sell me a new machine with the same features for about half of MMD quoted. Question: if I buy the Dell, how do I port the apps and files from the dead PC? It remains frozen, can't navigate.
I would suggest that you start over and reinstall the apps as needed. If there is data that you need to keep, copy it to the cloud. I have an HP desktop with Windows 11, an i7 processor, 16gb of RAM, a 1tb hard drive, a 500gb hard drive, and a 32 inch ips screen. I bought it from HP about 2 years ago for about $2,000.
