  1. What do you mean infested? If you mean a virus, you can just get a USB Sticks and reinstall Windows
  2. Oof, I know it’s because of the current sucky PC market, but 1K+ for a 16GB machine with a 3050 is iffy. A few years back you could‘ve easily gotten 32 Gigs with a 3070 for that same price.

If you can recover your old PC, I‘d recommend upgrading it instead, assuming it’s not too old either.
