Yes, I agree, will be doing a clean install on another one of his drives.

Yes, id rather be safe then sorry!

Do you think malwarebytes & hit man pro would do the job? it’s what I’ve used in the past, but I’ve been out of it for a while.

Thanks for that link, it should get us going the right way. Much appreciated!

Thanks for advice. Yes the scammer did actually install some type of remote software & took over his system.

I've been out of the hobby for a few years, so excuse my ignorance. My brother got suckered into an on line scam & fell for it. The scammer installed remote software & God knows what. Once he realized he got hacked, he unplugged everything & is now afraid to turn his system back on. He has...

I used this as a guide, very good and detailed. Windows 10 Tutorials

I have a 5 year old system and had no issues doing a clean install from DVD/BluRay.

Take a look at this link and see if something in there is helpful. Windows 10 Tutorials I put 10 on two computers and I think everything looked washed out, too light or too dark.

The HP looks good. I customized it for an 500gb SSD and went to 16gb ram. Kept everything else the same, looks good for the wife. Perfect!

thanks everyone, I appreciate the great input and suggestions.

OK I get the big picture. I'll take a look at Dell and take the SSD off my list then. What model in the Dell line is considered 'middle of the road' then? Appreciated your quick response, thank you very much.

Can anyone give me good recommendations on a middle of the road system from a computer vendor? What I'm looking for is a box for the wife. she plays light weight internet games, surfs, does some pictures and video. All light weight stuff. She's retired so she's on it all the time with her...

I'm saying a determined theif can steal anything if there determined and the price is right.

You are mistaken. Once the code is written, it can be stolen and probably will be. Grabbing a device on the web or network is not a problem for good hackers. Ask Home Depot, Anthem and a host of others. What set this apart is ONLY the means to break into it. Once that decryption routine is...

My opinion is NO access period. It's really becomes a matter of national security not individual privacy in my book. But not the way you might think of it, I'll explain. Once any hack is written, China, N. Korea, Russia and lord knows who else would use it as a further exploit into our...

I resolved my email issue. It's tied to syncing date and time in windows 10 in my case. Make SURE it's checked to do this. This is a bug for sure. Windows 10 Mail Broken - Windows 10 Forums

I appreciate the efforts, but nothing corrects the issue. I decided to install a client called Postbox and it worked right out of the gate. From what I gather on google searching, this is known bug in windows 10 from way back in beta.

Well after google searching and trying several so called solutions nothing worked, including uninstall and reinstall. So I'm looking for a new email client.

I ended up doing a clean install, when doing the upgrade I got an error message about not having enough cache space or something to that effect.

To be absouluty clear ALL you need is the windows 7 key (that you already have). Windows 7 does NOT need to be installed on any drive first. This saves you time from doing one windows 7 install, and then one windows 10 upgrade. I believe this was recently changed my MS.

Did a fresh install of Windows 10 from DVD disc I burned. I've setup my email, but cannot connect to my ISP's mailbox. All I see is "not synced yet". All my settings are correct. I've tried the "fix account" setting with no luck. I've set the sync settings, but nothing seems to work. I have...

No, what I mean is, can I save an image or w OK got that. I can do a clean install using my win 7 key. But I guess I'll just opt for the standard upgrade feature. Thanks everyone, much appreciated from all the experts.

Long time member, but been out of the loop on anything beyond Windows 7 because of my work VPN was not supported until now. So I have the Home Premium version of 7 and want to know my best upgrade path. I would prefer not to wipe everything I have and start over, unless really necessary...

Yep, agreed, when the tech kids get older they will understand the type gets smaller and harder to read. With these announcements Apple has all the sizes covered. After a few years with Android devices I finally went to the iPhone 6+, I will never go back.

Not really, were giving it to them, just delaying it by a couple of years. But ya they want to trim the population down into one religion.

...or nuclear war, or global warming, or pole reversals, or solar flares.... Just putting it out there, not advocating the above.

All ten year old punks think this way I'm sure. Respect ain't what it used to be.

We don't need kids driving out of control, eating, on cell phones, joy riding and high on something either. Stats prove that young drivers cause the most accidents. http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/teen_drivers/teendrivers_factsheet.html The next social issue that needs to be...

So I'm a senior, and can't have a job after I retire? vulnerable? Do some research and you will find out our age group is the most active ever. You will be old someday and think differently.

With all control in the hands of MS, no wonder it's free. Allow some hacker to exploit this feature, and they will, then everyone is fu-bared. This is dangerous.

Unless its next to prOn, kids today aren't interested.

I was thinking more along these lines. http://www.spacex.com/ But wait, our socialist government doesn't believe in competition....

65" inch TV here, but I usually don't carry that around on airplanes and such...:rolleyes:

If it's beyond shirt pocket size, its too big. Unless you carry a man-purse...:D

Seems like the public sector is involved now, let them foot the bill for future space exploration. The government should only be involved for defense purposes and research.

Well, over 300 channels of nothing to watch, not surprising at all. Remember those series when they made 20+ quality shows a season? Now they make 6 to 10 low quality hyped shows a season, call it good acting, and quality TV. but it's mostly junk. Most evenings I watch Amazon or Netflix...
