    So, how much data do you need to copy off it?
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Might be cheaper to upload your files to the cloud and just rent the space for a month while your laptop is being repaired.

    I'm just wondering if the laptop problem is caused by the lack of storage space. The Operating System needs free space. I don't think 2.54Gb is enough. Just a thought.

    ETA: You can get an one month free trial of Microsoft 365 and this comes with 1 Tb of cloud storage. No need to buy anything. Once the trial has ended then the fee is £5.99 per month but hopefully your laptop would have been repaired before then.
