So my all in one gaming computer broke after 4 years and I took it apart.  This is the result:









forget that cpu, I'm glad I am not saving it.  Also, the motherboard is going away, I don't want an integrated graphics card.

What laptop is that and why isnt mine like it

Today I was looking for the Epic Games launcher but I couldn't find it even though I know I have it installed. I used Piriform and this is what I found

Why did this happen? Why did files overwrite other files that weren't even in the same folder? The hard drive also has over 400 GB of available storage as well. Any idea on why that happened?

Firstly, the Recycle Bin, by default, is only set to hold 10% of the capacity of your HDD. If the Recycle Bin runs out of space, it will permanently clear files to make more space for new "deleted" files.

Secondly, when something is "permanently deleted", instead of actually clearing the bytes on your Hard Drive, the system simply modifies the Master File Table to mark the bytes as clear, but leaves the data sitting on the HDD. That's why files are recoverable. At some point later when you start trying to add new files, however, Windows will overwrite old empty blocks with the new data.

Windows doesn't just overwrite files that exist. At some point you uninstalled or deleted the application files, and you've since installed new games which have filled in the space.

I know for a FACT that I NEVER uninstalled the Epic games launcher or anything I downloaded on it since I was using it 1 week ago.

Well something deleted it, there just isn't any other way.

Or my hard drives are loving up. i just reinstalled the Epic Games launcher and it said "repair" for unreal engine 4. Files have been replacing other files that arent even in the same folder.
