    Any email client program (preferrably free if any) that works like MS Outlook?

    Thunderbird is what I use. BTW voyagerfan99, Thunderbird is no longer developed by Mozilla.

    WIndows 10 At the risk of sounding stupid, here comes a file explorer question

    Open the new drive in File Explorer, right click in the file listing area and select New->Folder. Name the folder appropriately and your set. You can now move files into that folder or, when installing a program, change the install destination so that the program is installed in your new folder.

    If you save pictures etc to desktop, does this slow computer down?

    It will slow down the initial display of the desktop since the icons & shortcuts for all the items you hvae on your desktop need to be loaded. Once loaded, they are cached the loading doesn't need to be done again.

    Which is better for an HP laptop, SSD or HDD?

    Are you looking for an external storage drive or are you wanting to replace the HDD inside your laptop? As far as an external drive, that one will do fine but it seems a little on the expensive side. Your laptop already has an internal SSD, you would need one like this to replace it: Crucial...

    When the FireFox print dialog comes up, scroll to the very bottom and click on the link that says "Print using the system dialog...". That will bring up the dialog that Beers posted the image of.

    NAS and Plex Questions/Suggestions

    I have a Plex media server that currently houses just shy of 14K movies. I don't use a NAS, I just use a dedicated desktop machine which does a great job. I started out with a WD NAS but found it really lacked horsepower when attempting to transcode movies on the fly. I use a tall tower case...

    I seldom see any laptops with built-in DVD players anymore!

    For the rare times when I need a DVD drive, an external works fine.

    Some websites designed to defeat some mouse functions

    Most websites I've encountered that disable the browser back button or other browser controls do so because they intend for you to navigate using their own navigation buttons. I often see this in financial websites (like on-line banking).

    Stopping dam windows 10 updates

    There's no such thing as perfect software anyway, it's a myth. I can't imagine what the issue was in regards to wifi printing. I have a wifi connected printer on my network that I installed in May 2016 that has worked fine for nearly 5 years through every single Windows 10 update on at least a...

    Stopping dam windows 10 updates

    I guess I don't use Windows 10 much on my 3 towers, laptop, tablet or shop PC. It is nonsense to classify 1MB of RAM usage or a 1 second delay as an issue. If that's your criteria, I've had issues with every single OS I've ever used, bar none, and I've used a lot of different OSes.

    Stopping dam windows 10 updates

    Why is it that others have such issues with Windows 10 Updates? I've been using Windows 10 since before it was officially released and have never had issues with updates. No one in my family has had issues, none of my friends either.

    Cannot Find Printer IP Address

    If you only print in black anyway, consider investing in a monochrome laser printer. A laser costs a little more up front but pays you back with faster prints, less cost per page, less maintenance and higher reliability. I switched to a laser from an inkjet about 8 years ago and would never...

    Need help choosing laptop

    When I want to compare 2 cpus, I type this into google: cpu_full_model_number1 vs cpu_full_model_number2 You'll get a very good comparison between the 2cpus. Again, I wouldn't waste time deciding between an i3 and an i5. Instead, you might consider a laptop with a higher end i5 as john35...
