I made the error of installing the NCH software suite and am now unable to uninstall it. I always use Revo Uninstaller but NCH is not shown in the list of apps to be removed. I've also tried Geek uninstaller and that’s the same. When I go to Start, ‘all apps’, I find that it is listed there but...

Hi and thanks for all your replies. I did look at Veracrypt but it didn't look that easy to setup, so I decided to upgrade to Windows 11 Pro in the end as it seemed like the easiest option for me. Managed to get it from PC Keyes for £25.

Thanks for your replies. I decided to email theunitysoft and asked what method did they use for installing, the reply was we'll let you know after you make the purchase. I then came across a supplier called PC Keys and they stated on their Web page that activation was made via windows settings...

I’m looking to upgrade from Windows 11 Home to the Pro version. On looking at the Microsoft store the cost is £120. A quick search took me to /theunitysoft.com/ who are selling the full version (not upgrade) for £19.99. I have in the past purchased keys from such vendors with no issues. Given...

Thanks for your reply. ĺI have been using OneDrive for several years, and I have enjoyed using it. However, since my retirement and having more opportunities to travel, I've had this nagging concern about potential burglary. I assumed that because all my files and folders were in the cloud...

I recall having, on a previous laptop, bitlocker where I had to use an usb to be able to access or use the computer. I would like to have the same setup on my current pc and laptop but as both are running Windows 11 Home bitlocker is not available. As a result I've been looking for a free...

Thanks for the helpful information(y)

I stand corrected, the laptop was used, ex business machine and as it was still under manufactures warranty I just assumed that it was a Dell install.

Hi, yes it's KMS which accounts for the activation issue now that you have pointed it out. Do you think that it will be a problem? I mean it seems to be working without activation and the fact that it was originally on this machine from the manufacturer, I wonder if it matters at this time.

Thanks to everyone who helped me with this issue.

When I view drives in Explorer I find that there are 4 drive letters with question marks against them. How do I get rid of these? The drive letters in question do not have a device attached to them. This only started after I recently started using Google Drive. Google Drive Desktop is drive G.

Many thanks for your assistance in this matter, most appreciated

Thanks! Though I did have a look and tried some downloads, I somehow missed this one. I have now downloaded and it seems to work ok. It didn't ask for the product key, so I went to File-Account and found that activation was required. I added the key which was accepted with the green tick...

I had Office 2013 Standard installed on my laptop with a volume license activation key. Some of the links I was given are no longer live and the ones I downloaded was the wrong version (Professional). Although it’s over 10 years old now, I’m still a bit disappointed given that I paid for it with...

Thanks for the info, will take a look
