Greetings. New to the forum. Not new to Windows. For the past year, I've been using my personal laptop for work. I had two Office365 Profiles -- personal, and work. I've deleted the work profile, and have scoured the Registry for every instance of my former employer's name, and have removed...

Hello! I'm trying to clone my 512GB SSD to my much larger 4TB USB hard drive, without disrupting the other partitions. I've tried cloning 3 different ways: GParted, Macrium reflect cloning, and Macrium Reflect image and then restored to the drive. In each case I cannot boot. Though the clone is...

I had purchased four fixed permanent licenses of GoodSync in the past, until V.10 I received updates. From V.11 on they moved to an annual subscription plan. So I stayed with V.10 for a long time. Today the program refused to do its job and explained that I only had a free license with limited...

I have a puzzle rather than a problem for you this time.. A couple of mornings ago my wife's two-year-old Dell desktop computer did something very weird I'm curious what you think might have caused it. When you type this ----- you would get this. These would happen consistently on any...

Desktop 1: Windows 10 64bit + Canon Lide 60 scanner + Brother ADS-1100W scanner + Paperport 11 software has been used since spring 2021, regular Windows Updates without problems. I know that Paperport 11 is from pre-win10 times, but it still works perfectly with the two scanners. And also Canon...

Hi All, Have a problem upgrading to 10. I booted from my original win 7 x64 home edition, clean installed, deleted all files. It may be worth noting when I was prompted what disk to put OS on, i deleted 2 100mb partions as I figured they weren't needed, and loaded the OS onto my main 1000gig...

Hello, I just spoke with tech support from Microsoft regarding a confusing Windows Health Report. The report states "This PC meets Windows 11 requirements", further down however it says "CPU not supported for Windows 11". The representative said that my CPU generation is not supported because...

I have a Gigabyte X570 Aurous Master mobo. PC health check says that my PC can't run Win 11 because I don't have secure boot. I've looked in the BIOS (under Boot menu) and I don't see secure boot anywhere. Would anyone know, does the Gigabyte X570 Aurous Master support secure boot?

I usually use my laptop for work/study. However, recently, I noticed when I had a lot of tabs open, my laptop was lagging and becoming very slow. I was quite shocked because this had not happened before and my laptop always used to run smoothly (unless there was a majorly demanding software I...
