    Internet Browser

    As I am new to win 10 I am using Edge but some times I could use a second tab but haven't a clue how, I have tried looking on the top bar, no luck. I was used to internet explorer when I had win 7 that had at the top File, Edit, View, Favourites, Tools, Help. Under File you got New Tabs.

    Hard Drive salvaged

    A bit of an update. The hard drive is a Hitachi sata 7200speed 1TB with win 7. I put it in my new computer and after some time it loaded win 7 but my 32 inch monitor did not like the settings so will scrap the idea of using win 7. I will next format the spare drive and use it for storing data.
