I just recieved the Windows 10 upgrade. What is a metered account?
When it comes to computers, I mainly do a lot of reading online. The only other thing I know how to do is send and receive emails. Prior to going from Windows 7 to this new Windows 10 I never had a problem, but now my screen often freezes while I'm using my computer, my wireless mouse stops working and my biggest problem is when my screen suddenly says the page I'm on is no longer available. It took me 2 days to figure out that for some reason my Wi-Fi wasn't working and I didn't have an internet connection. There is only 1 other PC in my home and it's a desktop but has only recently started using Wi-Fi because we got a free internet and phone upgrade, with a new modem, that changed the desktop to Wi-Fi.
Now almost every time I use my laptop my Wi-Fi disappears and I lose my internet connection. In order to get my internet connection back I have to go to where it says 'Network Connections' and enable my Wi-Fi while disconnecting from several other networks that I can only imagine to be my neighbors. I have also found that when I'm trying to figure out what I'm doing that causes me to lose my internet connection, it mentions something about having a 'metered connection' and I don't even know what it means. We are supposed to have unlimited internet service and have been told by AT&T that I can add up to 10 different devices.
Does anybody else have this problem or know what this means?
