Lol, really! Why not go straight to jumia na, instead of coming here to ask. Like you said, you don't know much so let people guide you.

Now at that price point of 200k, you'll get a good USED pc that will surprise you. If you can add 30-50k you'll be surprised what you end up with.
I bought a laptop for a friend just this last thursday for 245k; Specs goes thus;

-HP ELITEBOOK X360 1030 G2 (2 in 1)
-Core i5-7300u
-256GB SSD Internal storage
-16 GB Ram (Speed 2133MHz)
-13.3 inches touch screen.

I believe the laptop could be cheaper if I had gotten it from someone like Rakiticbarca, Acekid109 etc.

In all, don't go for a pc with a score that is less than 3500 (the higher the better) on Cpu Benchmark, 8GB Ram, 256GB SSD Internal storage etc.
You can explore the AMD processors too. They are a killer pass right now. Happy laptop hunting.

Thanks, this was helpful

Sir I took it to a man that fixes laptops and he said the small grinding noise is normal and it shows that the hard drive is working, that it's from the hard drive.@vocal

Backup your data from the drive and get a replacement SSD if you are boxed up, else go for HDD, avoid slim seagate and WD, HITACHI OR HGST WOULD BE A BETTER DEAL

Looks like a bios issue, problem with windows 10 always updating anyhow even in background without you knowing.
It could also be a RAM issue or a general mobo issue.

Since you got it few days ago and probably warranty is still on it,you can take it back,but if you want to get it fix outside,I can fix it for you.

If it recognize your flash then try another phone and see.

As long as it recognize your flash it should recognize your phone.

For the second part,you'll have to activate your windows.
