I would suggest backing up your files and performing a manual clean install. You can use disk utility to partition the new Samsung to journaled instead of APFS and then installing high sierra. If you upgrade, stubbornly OS X will be converted to APFS, but on a manual clean install the conversion does not occur.

Due to planned obsolescence, Apple no longer supports the iPad mini 1st gen. There is no way to update beyond iOS 9.x. Either switch to Android with OS 5 or later (on Android, apps don't care what version OS have as long as it is newer than 4.4.4), or buy a new iPad / iPad mini, and make sure its the latest because you have only a certain set of iOS updates you are allowed.

Download smart switch on your computer and see if that will let you backup your photos. The problem is if it is set to modem mode, and you can touch the screen, there may be no way to change it to file mode.

Here is a direct download of old iTunes directly from Apple. What you want to do is find an old version around 9 or 10-ish. Right-click the installer, and select compatibility mode for Windows 7. Install using Compatibility mode. Right-Click the iTunes icon and also set that to run with Compatibility mode for Windows 7. Here is a little about the history of the device. Original firmware 1.0 had nothing but basic functionality. The 5 apps such as calculator was a package add-on of $25. The next firmware update was another $10. The 3rd and last charged firmware update was $10, and included the $25 5-app package. I think if you have never purchased those, you can reflash an old firmware, but it will not have the 5-app package.

You can't do much now. You've opened the drive, so dust and other particles are now on the platter and will cause further damage to your data. Employees manufacturing hard drives wear equivalents to space suits in a hard drive factory in clean rooms to prevent any particle contamination in the drives. The original clicking was due to difficulty reading the platters. Now it would have been possible to recover the data because it was minor errors and remap around the errors. The damage caused by dust and other particles is much larger, and when it catches under the head while the drive spins, it will scrape more data off the drive. You will now need an expensive technician to forensically recover your data, or call your drive a total loss.
