In the past several decades I've had quite a few single routers that never gave me a good signal anywhere but close to the single router. I don't think newmann's description is less complicated than a Mesh solution. But if you do, that's fine. Forget what I offered. Carry on.

@newmann Your WiFi description is needlessly complex. Simplify your life and put in a Mesh system. I have a contemporary home with 3 floors. I have a Mesh Router on the top floor and a Mesh Satellite on each of the other floors. The speed coming in to my cable modem is 950 Mbps. The WiFi...

On a Dell computer, to run the complete ePSA diagnostics, turn off the system, hold down the "Fn" key on the Keyboard and press the Power button at the same time.

I've had Dell Support for the past 25 years on a number of computers and devices. It's always been excellent. But I always pay extra to get extended Premium Support that includes accidental damage. Premium Support gets you excellent "local" support. It also gets you on-site support where they...

Welcome to the forum Sheryl. One of the advantages of OneDrive is that you can use the same Microsoft Account and have the same OneDrive on two or more different devices. This way two or more devices can use, share, and update the same set of files. If one of the devices fails or is reset...

For me with what I do on the Internet and with my trading, the speed of the Internet is paramount and much more important than any small differences in app/process load speed and memory usage. I spent a good bit on a premium router and pay extra for gigabit speed. For me that makes a huge...

This ^^^ My thoughts exactly!

Aha! What I call a progress bar? It should continue to move to the right until it finishes processing and then it disappears?

@TairikuOkami, @Tester, If a service isn't being used and is just sitting in memory waiting for an interrupt, how much CPU/Memory can it be using? I do nothing to stop any services and my CPU use at less than 1% is barely measurable and I'm seldom using more than 30% of my total memory. What am...

@TairikuOkami, what is a "green loading bar in explorer"? I use File Explorer every day and I have no idea what this is.

I like Windows 11 and don't have any problems. I don't feel a need to do hacks or run apps that make Windows look or act like earlier versions. I like to do several clean installs a year. I have a terabyte of SSD and 32GB memory so I'm not concerned with needing to remove anything Microsoft...

Your Microsoft Account can be used concurrently on up to 8 devices. I use it on 5 different devices. I get the same Office 365 and the same 1 terabyte of OneDrive on all 5 of my devices. I love it.

@antspants, an Outlook email address is not necessary when creating or using a Microsoft account. You can use any valid email address you want.

Yes, I understand now. There is the same offer on microsoft.com. A few years ago there was an included one year Microsoft 365 on a new MS PC I purchased. When I put in the key, it added an extra year to my existing Microsoft 365 subscription. I can't understand why you would want TWO separate...

I don't understand what a boxed 365 license key is. Microsoft 365 is a subscription product, and I've never heard of it's being available as a boxed license. Where did you buy this boxed 365 and what did it cost?
