When they warned me that Windows 7 wasn't gonna be supported anymore and to upgrade, I didn't think they would send out an update that would brick my PC. Lesson learned I guess.

Are you sure it was an update that bricked it? Perhaps it just died on its own?

I installed an update today and it disabled some of my drivers (mouse and keyboard so I couldn't do anything) and then finally it's just not booting up.

Great news. Same thing will happen when you eventually "upgrade" as well. You'll be lucky if it only disables your sound drivers

I guess on one side, I've been wanting to get a general upgrade for a while, it's just I didn't expect it to happen so soon. It's probably gonna take all of my savings atm.

My friend works for a company that still has 7 on a bunch of their PCs and they all bricked at the same time with the update.

When I upgraded from 8 to 8.1, it bricked my PC. It took me forever to get it running again back on 8
