Helpful info. I'll note down for use time permitting. Thank you,

Omg.

Isn't there a better and simpler way?

Is the free update to Win11 still available for Win10? Is it a simpler option?

I tried to update a new Dell desktop PC that has not been used since it was purchased new for backup purposes last year.

I'm getting this error message: "Windows 10 update 0x8007000d... this...

I am in forums (eg. avsim.com) where you simply highlight the phrase or sentence you want to quote, right click and that selection will show up in your reply as a quote. You can then continue...

Thank you.

Update: I think I solved it. For some reason the Edge update and whatever new security gimmick it has come up with doesn't like the fact that I use VPN and that the accounts used my yahoo...

You said above: "for each post that you want to select". Instead of that, I want to select a sentence or phrase only in a post. Not "for each post". Just like RickC did it in post #8.

Yes, I agree. You are correct. It's likely MSA-related but it probably has something to do with parental controls and Edge also. The question is how do I convert these MSA accounts to Local accounts....

Hi, I'm back this time using Chrome. No issues with Chrome. It's not asking me to ask permission when clicking on Tenforum's 'search' and 'Go Advanced'.This makes me think that the issue is strictly...

RickC Q6.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I didn't get a notification message in my Inbox (gmail) to tell me that I have new messages in tenforums.

How do I do a multi-quote in this forum?...

Thank you very much. I'm really appreciating your help. My answer to your questions:

1. Yes, I'm using a Microsoft account. I tried to convert that to a Local Account but the option is...

In fact, I looked at the link before I replied. There's nothing on the page telling me how to fix the issue. It's giving opposite instructions: how to set-up parental controls which is precisely the...

Thank you. But I'm the only user of this PC and I'm definitely an adult since I'm retired. I've never had this pop-up until the last 2-3 days and I've been using Edge for years now.

I deleted the account 'bofhlusr outlookcom' and created a new account 'admin'.

Thank you for taking the time to help me. Much appreciated.

I don't remember exactly. I don't think the option was available which is why I logged out and re-started the PC.
