    couple questions from a win 10 noob


    couple questions from a win 10 noob,
    1:Back in the day you could right click and pin to your desktop,Now how do I pin a webpage/site to your desktop?I tried right clicking and it pins to the tabs but not the desktop.I want to be able to access my dashboard without having to remember the website address?
    2:How can I speed up win 10?,My computer since the upgrade from 8.1 feels like I have dial-up and 256k memory. It's so slow. I have 6 gig, 2.5 gig processor

    Click on the upper LEFT Conner in your address bar, soon as you do, you can move it to your desktop. :)

    I will try and help you with the second question
    Have you upgraded your BIOS and Drivers as that can slow your computer/laptop
    Also make sure all the updates are installed

    No I don't your bios needs to be updated, just because of upgrading to Windows 10. But drivers can be a problem, Best to get some of your drivers from whoever made your computer. That would be the 1st place to look.

    Did you try that suggestion for adding web sites to your Desk top??

    I'm not understanding or it doesn't work for me.
