Anyone who's in a panic right now. You can wipe Windows and install Linux on a disused laptop using a quality USB flash. Install Sparrow wallet and disconnect the internet permanently on said laptop before creating a new 24 seed wallet with strong, long random passphrase.. Then you can run a watch only wallet on an online machine also using Sparrow, even run it through your own node if you have one. This setup will suffice until you setup a 2 of 3 or get a hardware wallet not built by stinking grifters.
Reach out if you need, I'm not the experience level of BTCSessions by any means but I have done the above a couple of times as side projects and I'm here to help if I can.
