I've used Picture Manager before and almost forgot about it until you mentioned it just now...

I'll have to try Office 2021 and see for myself whether I like it or not. For many years I used...

Thanks a lot for the detail in your post. It's very useful and it appears as though it's always the small things that catch us out which is the difference between a professional looking project or...

Thanks for this information. There's a lot to learn but luckily the performance is on just after the new year so I have time to make all the mistakes at home now...

I never thought of running...

Thanks a lot. I tried doing that with my pictures and it worked as a slideshow in Windows as you wrote... I will check the Settings later on when I connect the laptop to the TV with the HDMI cable.

Hi,

It's been a long time since I've been on this forum but here goes...

I may have to take charge of using my laptop with Windows 10 Pro 22H2 for a theater performance with the aim of...

Many thanks for all this useful information especially:






Most of my computers are quite old now and some of these video editing programs can be quite resource intensive. I have another...

Thanks for your link. I have been really busy with no time to think or reply until now!

I guess there is a difference between having a locked data partition with BitLocker and an unlocked...

My Toshiba Satellite C50-A490 laptop has two display adapters: Intel HD Graphics 4600 and NVIDIA GeForce 710M. I will be doing some video editing from time to time but have decided to change the...

Thanks! I am on the move for most of the day but will look at your post again when I get back.

Thank you. Yes that's well thought out. I may do another backup of the D drive just to be on the safe side.

I ran the same computer for four years before clean installing Windows 10 and was lucky...

I set up a computer for mainly offline use, but it now looks like I will need to go online, to add some software and if this is the case I might as well do some updates at the same time.

The C...

Thanks a lot. I will be away from my computer for quite a few hours now but I will try your link later.

Thanks both Pejole2165 and Comport Colin for your replies. I had no idea that you could just click on the .iso and run setup!

I am fighting two problems today. One is a slow internet connection...

I have started working on this now:

1. I am scanning the offline computer for malware with a Kaspersky app called Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool, which of course can be used on offline: Free Virus...

Many thanks for your helpful advice.

I have a Windows account on this computer and not a Microsoft account.

I have also been thinking of possibly completely removing the data and copying it to...

I have a laptop I use for offline purposes only. It is Windows 10 Pro version 1709. It is BitLocker protected on the C drive and also the D (data) drive partition.

If I unlock the operating system...

Can you specify alternatives i.e. for encrypted containers?...

I would have thought it is important to protect the C Drive through encryption because the operating system drive is important for...

Well, there may be a small minority of people who have done that, but then it's probably the same people that keep their house door open, leave personal information on computers in internet cafes and...

Many thanks. That's a lot more essential information which helps me to begin to understand BitLocker.



This is good to know as an article I read online seemed to suggest otherwise: What is a...

Many thanks for your reply.

It makes sense in this day and age to encrypt storage drives if possible. I was actually wondering if an encrypted drive prevents hackers accessing operating system...

I was wondering if BitLocker has been activated on the C drive and on the D drive (which is my data drive) is there any security reason for having an additional Windows operating system password?...

Many thanks. These are the type of good answers I was looking for. :-)

I still can't figure out why 1809 didn't print with only the generic driver install but 1909 did. Perhaps Microsoft add new...

These are my core points/questions:

I know very well that the solution is to download and install the correct drivers from the manufacturer but someone else may not.


The fact is that I...

Can someone please explain this to me. I know Windows 10 is much better than Windows 7 in terms of picking up new drivers but after doing some testing I was thinking of how someone quite new to...
