How to Clone my own CC

I’ve been looking into sending my credit card in to get it transfered into another metal custom gold body with a funny/cool engraved logo. I’ve been looking into how to do it myself, but i run into alot of hacker,frUUUUud stuff. Dont wanna follow any of that, what real up front software/tools do these serivces who transfer your credit card info into another one use? I do have the physical card, to use with the tools that may be used. or are these companies FRUUUUD too? Would rather really do it myself vs sending it off, I see you can buy card to clone onto on Etsy and all that. even if it costs me more id rather be the one doing it vs sending off my card and potentially risk fraud.

Also is it legal to clone my own card?

Can .exe files run even if yo/u don’t open them and just download them? And if they do execute with a virus, is it possible to remove it

Hi, so I was trying to join a server and they required a captcha which if didn’t work, would send you to an online version to do the captcha. In the online captcha, they told you to download a file and then open it too get a code which you typed in to verify you were human. My friend tried it first and it then couldn’t find the file. So I tried to download it and in the bottom right I saw it was an .exe file. I quickly told my friend before he could open it to delete it, which he did. But 30 seconds later, his monitor went gray and I quickly told him to shut his pc off. He is currently on his pc without his wifi chip connected and went through his windows security check. He deleted an of his latest .exe files and removed anything that windows thought was a threat. Is there anything else we can do?
