I’ve been fighting with this PC for two days now, trying to fix its freezing issues and keep all of the files on it for my mother. I thought I succeeded only to be slapped in the face with an admin account I can’t get into. With permission from my mother, I’ve resorted to factory resetting it since it’ll be mine to keep anyway, but now I’m confused. If I want to reset it to its factory settings where I can start over even before the lock screen, do I choose to ‘just remove the files’ or ‘fully clean the drive’? This computer has a Windows 8 sticker on the back, but I want to keep the Windows 1View the full article

I found an old computer with a lot of sentimental pictures but I can’t remember the password. It says to reset it, but I’ve already done that and it still says it’s wrong. I’ve tried safe mode but nothing changes on the screen. I don’t want to reset or the computer is useless to me. Please help! View the full article

Error Code 80072EFE: I have an old Dell laptop running windows 8.1. The last known updates were ran in 2012. Some of the programs I've tried to get into wont function properly because they say they need to be updated, understandably so. i.e.. windows photo, video, defender, firewall, etc. I went into the start menu>settings>update & security>windows update; ran it and got this, above mentioned, error code. So I'm not going any further with updates until I understand this first problem. I only need this computer for its basic functions and software. Hoping someone savvy can ease meView the full article

I have owned all the smart phones from the early Sony to the Droid, the Motorola Q, Most of the iPhones and several of the windows phones.While I am firmly in the Apple ecosystem, I still think the BEST phone was the last windows phone. HP made one that was a 3 in 1, you could use it as a phone, a laptop or desktop. It was powerful enough to plug in a full size monitor. I thought it incredibly short sighted of MS to close their phone division.Would anyone else out there like a phone that will turn into a desktop? Microsoft please bring back the Windows phone!!View the full article
