    So I have this old laptop just sitting around home doing nothing.
    Every now and again I use it to backup my normal laptops onto (I think it's got around 200gb spare space) and I have no alternate use for it.

    Anyone got some ideas?
    It's a kinda old and chunky thing, and whenever I tilt the screen after it's turned it on, it just goes white and I have to restart the whole thing :l

    And no, i'm not going to sell it.

    Is there like some way I could use the hard drive for something else..?
    idk, gimme ideas.

    Use it as a part of a setup that you use to make backups?

    Try to reinstall windows.
    Install media creation tool.
    https://www.microsoft.com/nb-no/software-download/windows10ISO
    Send the file into a USB flash drive.
    then boot it from the start and install windows.
    I'm not sure if it's gonna fix your problems, but worth trying. ^_^
