Hi there, I recently installed Windows 10 on my 3-4 years old Acer Aspire laptop, and after fixing the wifi and bluetooth drivers problems I've just found that my DVD drive no longer works! It shows up in My Computer, Device Manager etc and has power and makes whirrs, but it won't read any...

Hi everyone, New to the forum. Be gentle. I am having problems with outlook. It is not suggesting or auto filling any email addresses that I type. I am having to do this manually. (My short term memory is shot due to illness and so this can take some time) Also the 'People' tab, where I believe...

So, this morning Windows decided I wasn't having enough fun in my life, and decided to fuck with me. Yesterday, it had updated but I had not yet restarted. I hadn't scheduled it - in fact the schedule window was open so I could dictate when I wanted the thing to update. When I woke up, I saw...

I recently updated my PC from Windows 8.1 to 10, and all programs are working just fine, including Windows Live Mail 11 (part of Microsoft Windows Essentials). A long time ago on an earlier version of Windows, I upgraded WLM 11 to WLM 12, only to learn that groups of email addresses (called...

When the upgrade to build 10586 showed up on my little test laptop, I installed it. But I ran into all kind of problems and in the end I clicked on 'Go back to previous version' and that is where I now am, somewhere on W10, before build 10586. I have more time now and I want to try it gain. But...

I am curious to know will I be able to go back to Windows 8.1 after using Windows 10 for a year as I don't want to pay after a year?

I have the same WiFi issue as many (installing Windows 10 no longer allows me to connect wirelessly). I can connect with an Ethernet cable. I have tried all of the "fixes" I've seen but nothing has worked. The worse news is that now I can't rollback to Windows 7 Pro because some files have...

Hello. Yesterday I upgraded my Windows 7 (x64) to Windows 10; all seemed to work great when I noticed that games that I have installed couldn't running.

Guys, this is ridiculous. I'm 100% positive this is NOT a hardware issue but at this point, it almost seems like getting a new computer entirely would fix this retarded issue. Before I explain my history on this, I'll post my system. Intel Core i5 4690k @3.50Ghz Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB)...
