Happy birthday! And keep going! I'm glad to be helpful!

You should try those giveaways, you deserve it!

One thing about computers, don't fully trust them, I walked away from windows at your age, never looked back. I don't remember what I ended up using back then, I tested every open operative system at the time I could find. The thing here, it's a great tool but try to keep backup online of the important stuff, google drive for your private documents and the forum for the publics could be a good idea, don't loose your passwords!

Good luck man!

I have seen the give aways many times but I never try to post a commet or try to win, I always feel like theres no way that I could be that lucky to win something and it feels kind of like if i did win i would feel guilty like i was stealing it becausee i didnt work for it if that makes sense, but i think i will try the next one because yeah that would be so so cool, and thank you verymuch for linking my post in!

No need to feel guilty, feel thankful. I have no idea where I'd be if I hadn't had help from non family members back when I was your age. I wasn't getting the help I needed from my parents, and what they were doing was actively hurting me. That outside help kept me going.

Google drive gets you a gigabyte, or maybe more now. It's online, and you can accesses it from any networked computer you use. If your computer vanishes again, it will still be there. Just don't loose the password.

One thing I was taught very early on was to keep my notes in a bound engineering notebook. The composition books used in school work. You leave the pages in it, and it serves as a record of what you've done. In the back you can index the projects with project name, then a list of the pages where notes on it show up. I keep the notes on even the failed ideas.

I'd bet google has a way to search documents stored on google drive. You can store them in various folders by subject or project. I always kept copies of all papers, files and specifications sheets used for projects in folders specific to that project, and also kept copies of specifications sheets in a common folder tree of parts I've used and looked at for use. Decades ago these were all in paper in file cabinets, but now are digital. I keep them backed up multiple ways including a zipped archive copy on my cell phone, and another on google drive. It only takes up a few GB. The zipped archive copies are encrypted.

I still keep the bound engineers notebooks in paper form because they are a legal record of what I've done. I make all my notes in them in ink, and sign and date the entries. I also have the pages numbered for indexing.

  Something that came to mind, given your situation, hard to source parts for your projects so having an updated post with your parts could be useful for us to help you pick from your bin what you could use for a given project, as well as tools.

For someone in your situation, I'd say it would be very beneficial to join a hackerspace. You can find a list here: https://wiki.hackerspaces.org/Oklahoma

Is there one that is close enough to visit?
