I don't remember if or what I said when he asked that. I don't have Windows 10. I don't know how you do a Windows 10 reset. As I recall, another list member described in detail how it is done.

YHes, I know why different people use different graphics cards?chips. I was using it as an example of how the price of a computer can be dramaticly increased with the addition of 1 different

I was under the impression that you couldn’t find this info out. If this is wrong, somebody correct me. Thanks, John

Gene, I’m not in any mood to debate with you especially regarding the reset feature, as we went through all that maybe a month ago. What I meant when I said you didn't answer Keith was you told

Hi all, does anyone know how I can find out with the paid version of dropbox how many people have downloaded a specific file? I've heard this can be done with the paid versions.

John, I can't imagine someone not noticing the difference. Janet

Hi. I would get 16 gb or 32 gb if you can afford it. Try a 1 or 2 tb ssd. And maybe get a 1 or 2 tb ssd external drive. You cannot get a dvd drive built in any more. Hp, Lenovo, assus, del, acer,

Hi, my first laptop a satellite a 300 toshiba lasted for 6 years, then my mom had it for another 4 years, running windows xp or vista. I think. And second machine, lasted almost 5 years, and was

I aggree with the post below except for one thing! An I 5 processer is great along with the SSD and everything the other poster said!
