Windows 10: Update on question posted this past weekend

Last Thursday, I attempted to change my password and all hell broke loose. I contacted Microsoft Chat, they sent me a few links, bottom line, I had to enter my BitLocker key, which I did. Several times, and thought. Now I'm getting code a Windows stop code- Oxc000021a. I did try a Windows reinstallation. I have two choices, restore Windows from the cloud or restored Windows on this machine. No matter, I was unable to do either. So what does this mean? Do I have to run out and buy a new PC or laptop? Of course this could not happen as a worse time, because I am taking an online class every Frid

Most decent thermal paste is about all the same (1-2 degree difference). Without knowing the two listed, (I use MX-2), I would suggest going with the one that is non-conductive.
