Thanks so muuch for your response. Neither of those options worked. I received an error with Powershell that seems to indicate a file may be missing (I think(. I've attached a screenshot of the error. Hope this provides useful information.

So do I. The PowerShell shows the same error on me

Here are some few things to try:

Method 1: Delete the local cache of Windows Store

1. Navigate to this location:

C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache

2. Delete all the files and folders in this location. (replace user_name with your actual username on your computer. )

Method 2:

1. Click on Start and type in Powershell.

2. Right-click on Powershell and click on Run as Administrator.

3. Try to run this command below in Powershell:

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Send all of your data (excluding pre-loaded data i.e. unnecessary bloatware) to an external solid state hard drive, unplug your SSD, and replace your old laptop with a new computer.
