  2. How to make Windows 11 look like Windows 10 in 2 minutes

    I think when people say they want a Windows version to look like a previous version, they want the functionality of the previous version. While it's a matter of opinion, Microsoft seems to have regressed some usability in Windows 11.
  3. Solved Can I salvage my SSD?

    Stupid question - if you view the drive in Computer Management, does it have a drive letter?
  4. Which Free Windows Backup Programs Do We Recommend for 2024

    Question for any Hasleo users out there: Can a Hasleo backup file be mounted as a virtual disk as you are able to do with Macrium Reflect? I have two commercial versions of Macrium Reflect Home (version 8) but seriously thinking of replacing them with Hasleo since it seems to get good...
  5. Solved Latest Macrium Reflect updates

    Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but is anyone purchasing the Macrium subscription plan? I have two computers running Reflect; my choices are 1 computer or 4 computers (LOL). The Black Friday $49/4 computers price seems reasonable...sort of, though I don't really like software subscription...

  7. Three copies of the 20% off offer?

    I received 4 copies. I haven't clicked on the "Buy now and save 20%" button yet.
  8. Weather App

    Nice! Thanks for sharing.
  9. POLL: Would you pay for a Windows 12 subscription?

    If Windows 12 becomes a subscription OS, Microsoft would be nuts to not offer conventional licensing to companies.
  10. Downloading images

    Another way to convert .webp files to .jpg is with digiKam. It may be overkill if this is all you need to do but it's a nice piece of free software. I use it to manage my photo collection. https://www.digikam.org/ Rob
  11. Macrium Reflect moving to lease model.

    I think being able to do an image backup & restore for free is enough of a feature that most people wouldn't need much more. And, because you can mount a backup image as a virtual disk, you could restore individual files off of it. In any case, it's more than Microsoft gives you. Reflect...
  12. Macrium Reflect moving to lease model.

    I always wondered why Paramount offered such a full-featured version of Reflect for free. In retrospect, perhaps they should have lowered the price of their home product a bit to make it more attractive to those who would only run the free version. I used to run the free version and I liked...
  13. New ssd

    Buy the largest SSD you can afford. All other things being equal, an SSD with more free space will probably last longer than one with less free space.
  14. Is this genuine MS Security message?

    The domain of the sender kind of gives it away as a fake (accounts-security.com). Also, I don't think I've ever seen sign-in expressed as "sign.in". Weird spelling and grammar errors are a good sign that it's spam or worse. Rob
  15. Windows Live Mail problem

    I just checked online; you must have the Home & Student version which I see doesn't have Outlook. It's possible that a version of Outlook that old wouldn't support TLS 1.2 anyway. Oh well... Rob
