So, my computer has been having issues for 3+ years. I've had 2 accounts here. This one goes back to early 2017, I will post the discussions where I reference this issue. You really only need to...

Thank you all!

To keep this "legal" if I cared. When I get to my exes house. I should reformat it again with her boot disk? That way the license is in her name? Or just ignore it as no one will care? I am not...

It is a 1 terabyte HD. i5-4460 CPU (8gb ram) Should I plan for it to take all day? 5-8 hours? Or think it is quicker? Or is there no way for you to guess. I am going to do exactly what you...

Thank you everyone! That was really cool! I'd be lost without this site and you people. TY! Such simple advice, I just don't always have that knowledge.

It has general personal data on it. Nothing awful, but it was my computer. If there is nothing else you feel I should do I will follow your advice - ty. Once I delete the partitions and reformat...

So, I am kind of stuck. I need to give my ex a hard drive. I can't buy a new one. Besides, I have this one that works fine. They are not FBI or forensic experts. But, I have some old photos and...

I am having problems (pretty serious): Latency, Lag, Disconnect, FPS, "feels slow" (the system) and more. Problems have existed for about 2 yrs. Slowly been buying new parts. I have almost all new...

(Edit: I just saw the driver forum. I do not see how to delete this and repost. Can you still help?)

I used to automatically use programs to update my drivers (3rd party updaters). But you guys...

Says I have to spread the love. It is unfair you must have helped me with something else. not your fault you are helpful. I should be able to give more rep

Perfect, I forgot their names. I remember Truecrypt because of Snowden, All the privacy advocates/orginizations in the USA and world telling me to use it. "The safer you are, the better we all...

I have about 600-900 photos, 60 documents and other business records. I've used PGP in the past though that seems like a lot of trouble for so many documents. I remember hearing about total...

Home PC only I am only Admin. About a yr ago I some how deleted parts of onedrive, would not stop syncing and made me :mad: . I do not remember what I did. Though I did a good job. It really does...

I get windows insider. However, I am not really too interested in what it is. I know using it is a mistake. But, I have used some features and I want to keep getting it please :)

I did just notice...

I know more than a few times I asked for tech support. Someone here had me run a program. While it did many things one thing it did, it created a text file with all the major (or all) programs...

I never intentionally mean to be dumb. But should I make these changes in my router setup? I found instructions for changing this in router.

I've made changes of this nature once in the last 10...

165651 So I should switch from auto to manual using the opendns you gave?

Hi!

I just did a fresh install of windows 10 x 64. I remained in Build 1709. I did not format the HD, just fresh install. I have a brand new Router/Modem - AT&T Arris. I installed this myself,...

Safety is not the concern. I am genuinely willing to just throw this thing in an key/coil electromagnetic degausser. Then hit myself with a hammer. It is still healthy, never kill the living ('mom...

What is confusing me. Kyi tool allows me to reboot without accessing anything on the troubled CPU it sounds (love it). But.... Do I ignore steps 1,2 & 3 with Kyi tool?

Ty Kyhi

I absolutely do, that would be the perfect scenario. When I remodel my home, I just tear down the wall with a hammer. then look inside :) I am not sure I understand the Kyi' method. Use their...

It was my first call, they cut me slack they said. I was politely mad & probably vocally 'concerned'/WTH scared. I used the holiday in the US to my advantage. "I got hacked on a holiday - help". I...

(shown partitions) in a dialogue box? Typically the 4-5x I've done...
