The Intel assistant finds a graphics driver update for my laptop, downloads it, then fails at the install step every time. Is it safe to just ignore it, or should I install the driver manually instead?

Around $600 total. Mostly for coursework, some Minecraft and Fortnite. At this price should I spend more on the CPU or the graphics card, and is a prebuilt better value?

Want something to back up family photos and maybe run Plex for the TV. Budget is about $400. Not sure whether to reuse an old i5 desktop sitting in the loft or buy new parts, or how many drives I need for some kind of redundancy. Any pointers for a total beginner?
