Best way to save photos before reformatting PC?

I fear my laptop may have been compromised. I stupidly never bought an SSD before the prices have literally quadrupled. I can't justify a purchase now.

All my photos are on my laptop. I want to reformat my laptop so I can use it again but I don't want to lose years worth of photos.

Is backing up to the cloud reformatting then re-downloading my only option other than buying an HDD or SSD??

Am I screwed? No recovery email being sent

I lost my phone with my authenticator app. I stupidly did not note down the recovery codes. I removed recovery phone number cause I was Sim swapped before.

Thankfully protonmail, which is my recovery email let me back in.

I didn't realize recovery email is essentially useless? First it's almost never offered as a recovery option. I managed to get it to show up and it said it will send me a link in 48 hrs.

I've been waiting all day and finally the time passes. I didn't get ant email. I got the initial one saying I will receive a link in 48 hrs.

Wtf can I do now???

32 [m4f] online/canada - looking for connection

Hi all.

Bald tattooed man from Canada looking for a nice connection. I like eating new foods but also the same food over and over and over again.

I like photography but mostly just for myself. I like solo travelling and have done so every year except this one.. alas - I got into a bad accident a couple weeks ago and am mostly bed bound for the immediate future. I have a long road of recovery ahead of myself.

https://imgur.com/a/CeiOXwJ that's me

Feel free to send one of your own I find it's almost necessary when trying to form a connection online.

Anyways, I'm not very good at monologuing about myself. Hit me up for more :]
