I recently took delivery of my ISP’s latest router/modem.
It’s default password was 16 characters long which I wished to change to a more manageable number in view of the number of devices requiring...

Woah!
In terms of comfort zones, you're orbiting another planet from the one I'm clinging to!
How's it done? (In grade 1 speak of course!!!!

Only a network reset will (usually) get my now aging desktop back online after a restart.
I've recently done a fresh install (didn't seek out the individual drivers as done in the past, mainly...

Did i find a solution?
Yes and no.
I started unplugging all the drives and then plugging each one in in turn. Sometimes - not every time, but sometimes a neassage 'reboot and Select proper boot...

Dwarfer. I don't think you've ever used it with multiple hard drives which are a pain to swap out. Google some of the reviews. The acclaimed Dual Bios was a flop. Setting boot priority near...

I've got time issues over the next few weeks - finding a couple of uninteruppted hours will be difficult.

Right.
First things first. Yes the blowjob (to coin a phrase) was quite spectacular but when you think of it, the poonds per square feet would be about the same as from a hand held pressurised...

I have a 7 year old PC. I've added a few 2 tb internal hard drives to it over the years - because back then, Intel, Gigabyte and the rest said it could be done - and they were right! I ended up...

Just 2 quickies. Do you mean a clone or an image? I think I understand the difference immediately afterwatching YouTube 'how tos' on it, but a month later I'm back to head scratching. And should an...

Hi,
I thought of this, but weighing up the pros and cons, I think I'll do a complete instal of win 10 from the media creation tool. I'll use the opportunity to do an inventory of everything...

This is NOT, I repeat, NOT an issue with the drives. Every one of them both powered and portable, perform faultlessly on other PCs and laptops, connected by any of the cables I've used. What are the...

Hi,
These solutions are at the limit of my comfort zone and I was hoping for an easy mend solution.
I've a dozen or more external drives - originals and copies - both powereed and portable. They...

A problem has recently shown up.
I have a lot of data archived on Seagate external hard drives.
Recently, every single one has failed to show up and be accessible in This PC.

I’ve started encountering a problem with my desktop PC running windows 10.
I have 2 monitors fed by a GeForce GTX 670 on a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H motherboard with an Intel I 7 3770K chip.

Not sure now precisely how they were converted - long time ago. But the point is that these were openable without delay until one or other of the more recent updates of Windows. And there's a point....

These were copies of Tiffs and PSD files - which really can be enormous!

But there's a difference between not being supported and being positively disabled. Winmail, an excellent email client beloved by many, had a crack enabling it to be used for years after it became...

I've used Photo Gallery from Live Essentials (2012 I believe) and its predeccesor for years as my basic photo viewer and editor.
Recently, and I think its since the 1909 update, it's not opening...

f14tomcat and Bree - thank you guys. I'm hanging my head in shame - for being too idle and panic stricken to read the tutorials first instead of screaming for help. Problem solved! Come the...

Doesn't work. I have win 10 Home. There's no choice (other than to provide a phone number, email, or Skype) but to use a M/soft acct. I set one up a long time ago -can't remember when or why. But...

Simply as in the title.
I want to instal win 10 without having to use a microsoft account and without having to type in a password every time I login. I want full admin rights to avoid 'you don't...

Thank you all for your very helpful advice. Everything went like clockwork once I'd managed to change the boot order in BIOS - never seen anything like the display on this ASUS laptop, definitely...

The hard drive in my ASUS laptop has failed - completely and permanently. Fortunately this laptop has only been used for a daily mobile use and all important data is been backed up.
I also used...

What happens after 29 July 2016 if you have to (or just want to) reformat a machine that either had windows 8 preinstalled (the case with my laptop) or had an OEM windows 7 home premium disc (my...
