“How old is your most recent full backup eh? You know the one that can allow you to restore all your work plus apps on a new machine...?”

If you are using a mac, probably about an hour ago if you have set up time machine. It is one of the things Apple definitely does a lot better than Windows, and there is an option in the UEFI menu to restore from it, which I’ve had to use a few times.
