Hi, My trusty netbook needs to be retired after 5 years of hard graft, and I'm looking to replace it with a Windows-based tablet. My current preference is the Surface 2 (not the surface pro 2, for the avoidance of doubt). Battery life is key for me as I use it primarily in court, where I...

One of the four basic Libraries is Music. I found thousands (yes!) files in that Library, most of them I have no idea about and have absolutely nothing to do with music. Windows said they are references and deleting them will not remove the actual file from the PC. I found that incorrect, I...

Hi everyone, I once again have a question...before I upgraded to windows 8 pro, I was using the free version of AVAST antivirus. But it seems to be interfering with my computer being able to run windows updates with it turned on. Can someone direct me to a good free AV program that runs well on...
