I've already spent a lot of frustrating hours trying to deal with this problem with limited computer abilities. It's too bad it happened to both at the same time, but both laptops were old and inexpensive and personally for me they're not worth any more bother.
I have all of my data from my Windows 7 laptop saved on an SSD external drive and that's all I want.
I am now using an inexpensive Chromebook and that's really all that I need.
