Ok, my bad. Now the only thing I need to do is to contact the McAfee tech and ask them why their VPN does not allow me to communicate with a certain website. Its the only website thats effected. I think there is a thread about this subject on this forum. I'll do a search before I contact McAfee.

Many people have a need to use products from China due to their financial health and political statements like yours belong in a political forum.

I'll remember about obtaining a hard drive but I'll wait to see if anything happens. Now I performed some search's on why my computer tells me that my external drive will not back up image files. It's because my external drive was formated to ex-fat and needs to be formated to NTFS. So I made...

Thanks fellows, I am convinced, but my external solid drive will not accept image files. So an image file must be just pictures and video's, is that correct? If so, then my backup drive will need to be replaced in order to use Macrium Reflect. Is this also correct? I will...

I see that backup tool is a popular one. But before I download it, what's your opinion on Microsoft's One Drive?

Well this time the backup worked. My libraries and documents were all there. So now I have two separate backups, windows 7 backup tool and One Drive that I can rely on. I will keep an eye on windows backup tool to see if the date of the backup is missing.

I do not have a hard drive. I have a solid state drive on my computer and also have an external solid state drive. Also I have seen messages that say my external drive will not accept image files. I do not speak computer talk as well as others, so its not easy for me to understand what you are...

Yes, I am using the old windows 7 backup and restore. Maybe I should use the cloud for backup. It sounds simple to use. I am at the point in my life where I do not want to learn new tricks. I am 84 years old. I just need a tool that will back up my files. So if it is difficult to find out if my...

Hello All, I had my computers hard drive converted to a solid state drive. I also have an external solid state drive for backup. But I think the external drive is not backing up properly. I just did a backup on March 1 using the windows backup tool & restore via the control panel...

I made a mistake on the name of the software. It's not windows defender but "Auslogics" duplicate file finder. I just sent an email to the manufacturer asking why their software only deleted 6,672 duplicates out of 35,787. It took 3 hours and 50 minutes to do this. Now I am running the software...

Thank all, I had thought I had too many files. However I will run CCleaner.

Hello all, I just used windows defender and after the scan was finished, it scanned 1,127,605 files. This does not appear right to me. I checked the windows files for "Old Windows" and it was not listed. So if its a problem, then it must lie somewhere else. Your thoughts?

I just realized my laptop has a solid state drive. Would it not be easier to remove the bottom cover and then remove the drive. I watch a video to see how its done. Then all I need to do is to destroy the drive before tossing the laptop out.

Thanks, I'll do some searching on a program to securely erase all data.

Hello, I will be replacing my laptop soon and would it tells me that formating will erase everything on the drive. How can I believe this when there are two format options. The quick format which takes about 5 minutes or perform a long format which takes about a couple of hours. Which...
