A simple pinhole camera would work as well.

The supported CPU list for that motherboard is here. Is the specific part number of your 4770 on this list? If not then it's not surprising it doesn't work. That list also spells out BIOS ver 0030 for that CPU.

The data no longer exists. This is exactly what backups are for. Consider this a hard lesson learned.

Then you are reading wrong. You cannot in any way paste a random block of text to a storage device without first placing it in a "container" such as Word, Notepad, etc.

That's what hibernate does.

Very likely a clogged print head from either disuse, very intermittant use or using non OEM supplies. This is exactly why we don't recommend ink jet printers here. As with all ink jet printers a new print head costs nearly as much as a new printer.

You were able to post here so the problem is obviously solved.

Disregard the above. You need to adjust the metrics on the NIC you don't want Windows to use as a matter of course: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/how-to-force-windows-to-use-one-network-adapter/dc4e36aa-94f5-433b-93a2-3da7d46a0e5d Higher numbers mean lower priority...
