It seems you're facing some financial and technical challenges with Windows versions. You might want to consider switching to Windows 10 Technical Edition, using the Windows 8.1 Pro trial, and only purchase Windows when your card issue is resolved. Alternatively, exploring cheaper alternatives like G2A could be a viable option.

Avoid setting the Technical Preview as your primary operating system. Microsoft monitors all activities there and it contains several issues—recently including problems with HDDs. You might consider installing a Linux distribution instead (such as Linux Mint 17.1) for now.
