os issues

Hello, I'm wanting to upgrade from Win10 Home to Pro, so I went to the start area and entered Update, then clicked "Check for updates". The screen that popped up had a few icons in the upper right-hand corner, one being Windows Update. Below those words I see Attention needed. When I click...

I am in a loop where my computer keeps restarting at the mentioned loop how do I fix this? I do not have access to the recovery console because I do not have the password.

Pardon the length; I'll try hard to keep it short as possible. I know there is a lot on the internet concerning genuine Windows 7 64 OS suddenly being flagged as not valid. I tried a number of ideas postulated on the web but I still can't get it to work. Now to be honest this issue has been...

I have problems to set an eMail client (e.g. Thunderbird) on my 64bit Win 7 system for handling all "mailto" links. It is often recommended to go to Control Panel --> Set Default programs or Control Panel ---> "Associate a file type or protocol with a program" and assign the (new) email...

Here's a story for ya. Yesterday I decided to give Windows 10 a shot because of what all my friends were saying. "OHHH ITS AMAZEBALLZ" "SOOOOOO AWSM" and such. The upgrade took a few hours but was well worth it. The programmes were exactly where I left them along with everything else. The new...

I have windows 7 and was prompted if I wanted to upgrade to 10 for free. I decided it was probably a good idea, I mean, by now it should be pretty seamless...that was wishful thinking. Despite it looking like a cheap cell phone interface with 1990's graphics, It updated and everything was fine...

This is not a show stopper because I have learned the work-arounds, but it's highly annoying. I often have 3,4,5 sessions of File Explore open at once. [old habit] I can use the keyboard to copy/paste, etc with no problem. But if I use the right mouse click to "copy" or check Properties, or...

My email client (The Bat) is not one that I imagine too many people, if any here knows about, but my question doesn't require familiarity with it. It has an optional mail ticker that is something like a small section of a ticker tape machine for email notifications. I haven't been using it for...

Free Commander is my file manager of choice...at least it has been for a number of years now. However, since the last install of the OS it has become useless, because it freezes every time that I try to use it and has to be forced to close with the Task Manager. I'm using the latest version...
