The computer repair guy will most likely not blame you the customer. BUT!. 97% of the time YOU are the problem. Not Windows or the computer.
For me I still have my older computers. R.S. Model III/IV (1979), Gateway (1999), and my current Asus I7 gaming laptop computer. All working with no failed hard-drives, floppies, or any other parts.
