Nor are there any activation requirements. If YOU can get the software working in spite of activation issues WHICH IS ONE OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE SOFTWARE. Best of luck to ya. If you can figure out what you need to bypass activation FOR YOURSELF you are free to do so. Microsoft is not...

Oh and why should Microsoft, or any other software publisher, be bound to something that YOU are also not obligated to use? It is not a contract. You can stop using Windows anytime you want. It's not like a subscription service or a full-blown yearly contract where you are required to pay for...

It doesn’t have to be. There’s a reason software is licensed, not sold. You don’t own the software. You don’t even own a copy as you would with a paperback book. You have an open ended license to use the software that states Microsoft can make additions or addendums to. Simply put Microsoft...

This. In 2025 8 gen systems will be SEVEN YEARS OLD. All the refurbs on the market at that point will be fully capable of running Windows 11 this is a non issue.

And frankly, that is often of more benefit than harm to us. Is your life really ruined because Google, Bing, and Amazon all know that you are shopping for a new cordless drill?

So is every search engine.

Like I said you either believe that DuckDuckGo filters you out or you don’t. When you search on DDG they perform the search on your behalf on Bing. Bing does not see YOU. Only DDG. They don’t know you asked for the search because they only see DDG. That’s the whole point.

Because the information they collect isn’t personally linked to you. They have to get something from you or it wouldn’t be possible to deliver the search results back to you. They also display ads based on what you just searched. You search for tires you get ads for, ya know, tires.

So? You either trust DuckDuckGo to filter out all of your PII and demographics or you don’t. None of these companies have the resources to run their own search engine so they have to leverage Bing and Google to do it. And they have to collect and provide to others some demographic data to...

I see this all the time: Stupid people subscribe and then get too many emails, they quit reading them, and forget how they got signed up. So instead of unsubscribing, they mark them as spam.

This. Yes it’s $4000 program or a $400 a month subscription but I’ve seen the rates drafters charge(or he should be charging). Cost of doing business. Cheap clients are bad clients.

Same answer FABS. You point the destination to a flash drive and it creates an entire directory structure of all the data. It can be used later to restore to the other PC. Even when I have the PCs side by side that is MY usual method. I don't tend to use the transfer via network mode as if...

If it will not power on the first thing to check is the power supply and work your way inward. Is it properly connected to the motherboard? Is the 4 or 8 pin CPU power connected? Is the power button properly connected to the jumpers and so on? Usually on DIY systems, I assume the client is...

The term you are looking for is gibberish not jargon.

This. It will not backup items on OneDrive that are NOT locally stored. Those files will be "restored" when the user logs into Onedrive. What you are seeing is basically a shortcut to the file, not the actual file. If the file has a cloud in the status line in Windows Explorer the file is...

It is rare that I actually have to run chkdsk anymore. Back in the Xp days, you ran it often and it fixed stuff. Nowadays I rarely see a true file structure issue (Modern NTFS is very self-correcting) and that is usually also a hardware problem, which is when you DON'T run chkdsk.

Rule 3

It can take one hour for changes to go into effect.
