Microsoft’s Copilot app for Windows has continuously evolved since its debut, but a common concern for many new users has been the initial learning curve. Now, with the introduction of a guided tour feature, Microsoft takes a significant step toward demystifying its powerful AI assistant and...

The Windows 11 requirements page says that a CPU of at least 1 GHz and 2 cores is required. I have a system with a 3.7 GHz 4 core CPU which isn't accepted. Possibly because it's an AMD? The system passes the other tests. Possible solutions: 1. Hack the registry. My understanding is that...

Hi Just got my new Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 tablet today. This replaces my old iPad and my Kindel Fire HDX. So far it looks great, fantastic display. But there is always a learning curve when you get a new device from a different maker. I'm gradually getting my apps installed. I'm really only...

For some reason I am unable to install the Nov 10 updates for my Win 7 Pro desktop. I have tried the suggested fixes offered by Microsoft with no success. I am able see the list of updates after running check for updates but when I select the updates I want to install and click OK nothing...

Consider this my nudge topic, since Linux here has been clumped together in this new section I am amking the best of it by making a controversial subject matter. But the truth is that I do think linux is better then Windows and here is why: 1 It is developed by communities: Microsoft values...

A recent Official Microsoft Blog spells out how Microsoft see the recent launch of it's new operating system and the resulting criticism. Personally if all we hear about the next 8.1/Blue/Service Pack update is true regarding the inclusion of some legacy GUI features then I think Windows 8...

As the title suggests, I'm wondering why you hate the start screen in Windows 8 so much, or why you think others do. Besides looking completely different, there are nothing but improvements on the back end in terms of search, live tiles and appearance. I honestly see no legitimate reason for...

Whenever I talk publicly about Windows 8; Windows 8 enthusiasts are quick to point out all of the terrific things in Windows 8. Let's agree on that point. When I talk one on one with my customers however, other than the minority that are just apathetic about the interface and accept the high...

Well I put windows 8 on my first computer build. Its pretty fast but a learning curve. Going to give it a few months. But I was hoping for a windows media center metro live tile. Like the gadget in windows 7. Also is there a app to show the CPU temp yet? I have searched guess not. Could be nice...

It doesn't need or take heaps of "customizing". And maybe people won't react, respond or adopt well, willing or enthusiastically, even, w/ interest or curiosity IF they hear BEFORE they themselves bother w/ it, that it is a "mess". Rather would taint the notion of, even, investigating, for...

I have had Microsoft’s OS's from DOS 1 to Windows 8 and I worked with Windows professionally since it first came out but I cannot figure out Windows 8. It looks to me like an oversize cell phone. Now I'm 65 today and it really bothers me not to use Windows 8 but I have just a regular cell phone...

Ross Cameron, Mike Fara, and Michael Myles, come together to host, discuss, evaluate, and explain the Microsoft Windows 8 operating system to each other and the broader audience at large. We talk about the Metro UI Start Screen, gaming performance, showing off new featres, and the learning...

Y'all are making far too big a deal over the Start screen. I used the DP for months; now the Beta non-stop since 29/2. Hardly ever visit Start. The lack of the old Start Menu & Windows orb is completely meaningless. The OS works just fine, as is. Between the following, there is noise & a...

Well, y'all knew I'd toss my 2 cents in here Yes, I, too, knew the numbers, the specs, even the motivators & goals, in advance AND what it all suggested... hell, I even sat through a whole morning of listening the Steve rant about its greatness & appeal... I muddled about w/ the DP. We are...

Hi folks, I've been using Clonezilla-Live for awhile now to create images of my Win 7 and other OS installs. Clonezilla provides the peace of mind that only a bit by bit image backup regimen can provide (IMHO). It does have a learning curve however. I've created a guide to using Clonezilla...

Hi everyone I bought my first laptop last week after using a desk top for 20 years or more. However please don't think i'm some expert, my learning curve never really got going :razz: The thought of a new computer together with wireless router and wireless printer with a new operating system...

I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7, so I am on a learning curve. I keep utilizing Windows Update, which includes definition updates for Windows Defender. I would like to do a scan with Windows Defender, but I can't find it. When I click Start/ALL Programs it is not listed. I can...

I got a new laptop today and the dude at the computer store had set up my account which is showing as my name and it says that it the administrator. There is only one user account that I can see. This is my virgin foray into Windows 7. I managed to get it to read the drives on my home...
