If you just need an email client you can download the free Outlook for Windows app from the Microsoft Store. BTW, what good are links to ISOs of earlier versions of Office? They will run in a reduced mode unless they are activated with a valid key. That is you can open files but you can't edit...

I don't see that in Office Pro Plus 2019. I see the same thing in Office Pro Plus 2021. BTW, I have 2 x Office Pro Plus 2019 and 3 x Office Pro Plus 2021 licenses. Office 2021 support will end in October 2026 so it will have the same problem. In any case I rarely use Office online support...

I gave up on fixing seeing network computers in File Explorer a long time ago. Instead, I use network shortcuts. This always works! For example the shortcut to computer DarkMatter is \\DarkMatter. To keep up with these I have a folder on my desktop called My Network. In this folder I have...

I found that out a few months ago when I did a clean install of Windows 11 Pro. Fortunately, I did the setup disconnected from the Internet. I also started with a local account. I just happened to check and found that BitLocker was enabled. There was a message saying I needed to log in with my...

In any case Microsoft will remove Publisher from Microsoft 365 on October 1, 2026. AFAIK, you can't install Publisher 2021 on a computer with Microsoft 365 installed at the same time. If it was me and really needed Publisher I would do one of: Uninstall Microsoft 365 and install Office 2021...

I guess I was lucky. I didn't have any problems installing Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 in 2022 on my desktop with Windows 11. I also have it on my older 2018 laptop with Windows 10. Later I had to replace the motherboard with a totally different one so I decided to reinstall Windows 11. Before...

Don't feel bad about your problem with the metal retaining clip. When I first opened the laptop to replace the single SSD with two new SSDs I couldn't figure out how to disconnect the battery. I left the battery connected during the whole process. I was lucky that I hadn't cause any damage by...
