Hi folks Following on from the previous thread in this section there is a way to move an MBR installation to a UEFI W10 installation without re-installing windows. 1) clone your old W10 MBR system (clone not image it) - preferably to external HDD. Use either Acronis or Macrium -- Macrium is my preferred option - incidentally both these programs are on KYHI's recovery disk !!. 2) Get ...

Libraries folder

Hello, in my Windows 10 pro, I have on the left pane a folder called Libraries. I would like to change the name and possibly change the ugly icon. I know I can hide it. But that wont help because I can not create a custom made folder in the left pane. Is there a way through the registry? I try the reg file Take Ownership but it does not appear in the context menu. Thank you

Hi folks I've complained about this before but OUTLOOK 2016 still tries to auto create an account even when you select "manual". It still does this after latest update. Outlook 365 might be OK as presumably you go through some sort of "subscription set up" in the first place - I don't have outlook 365 so can't test. Also for a lot of people say on generic servers like gmail the "auto...

I'm in China about to purchase a desktop computer--not a name brand but assembled by parts I choose. As many know here, more often than not the Version sold (or given) to you is a cracked version. I absolutely do not want that and buying a legal English copy is not easy either. Hence one choice I have is buying it here, online perhaps at the Microsoft website. BUT I am not sure where to go....
