Bonjour est ce que vous savez comment activer windows sans clée ?? Sinon où puis je en trouve pour pas cher ??

I want to see all my contact lists on my teams without searching the name of the person. Please let me know if you have any idea.

Thank you in advance

Now that Microsoft has decided that all links within their apps must use Edge I am looking for an Outlook replacement. I am using W11. However I use additional .pst files to store different emails. These are currently over 13GB each. Is there an email client that will give mew the same functionality?

I stumbled upon an unusual shortcut on Windows that directly opened Task Manager focused on the process of my active window. I'm certain it started with Shift + Windows Key + ... but can't recall the complete combination. There was something wrong with my keyboard (like some function key being active?), but I could see that when I pressed that specific combination of Opera browser, all the opens tabs and the designated resources were there. Has anyone else experienced this or knows the full shortcut?

Hello. I want to load my own windows kernel-mode driver without enabling testsigning or disabling PatchGuard, because both will cause problems with game anti-cheats. Is there any bootkit such as EfiGuard, which will disable Driver Singature Enforcement and not cause problem game anti-cheats?

If no, is there some literature about windows kernel structure/startup process, in particular, about DSE? I want to research it and find way to disable (maybe write my own bootkit) DSE without problems with anti-cheat software.

Hey All -

Have a Windows 10 box where I was attempting to enlarge the Recovery partition in order to successfully apply kb5034441. I shrank my NTFS partition by about 250mb then deleted the recovery partition. About 10 seconds later, bluescreen. I restarted and no boot. Come to find out, my NTFS partition is now listed as "Unformatted."

I tried a few tools including DMDE which after a full scan showed sporadic files in no apparent folder structure. I restored one of the text based conf files and when I opened it, it was random characters.

LOVE to be able to just set a flag or something to say that partition is NTFS and not unformatted, but seems that's not going to happen. If possible for me to just view files on it and copy / recover some that would be ideal.

Any suggestions with how to proceed? Thanks!

I have Windows 10 Home Edition (digital license key) and I want to make a complete reinstall of it. With a full erasing of local disks and merging them into one. But I wonder - what I should to do with a licensed key? What will happen with it?

Will the key lost forver or it will already activated on a fresh system (maybe after I'll enter into my account)?

Should I use ShowKey Plus to watch the key (and save it) and then use specific commands to erase the key from an old Windows. Then I will type the key again for an activation of reinstalled Win10. I did this when I transferred the key from a previous PC to a new one. But I'm not sure if I should repeat this procedure only for reinstall Win10 on the same PC.

Or I just can start a clear reinstall and don't mind?

Every big design change that I remember in last year or two was the one I didn't like at all.

Examples:

Ambient light - useless for me only consumes more CPU for my laptop and makes everything unnecessarly slower and shortens battery life. But you can turn that off.

Comments automatically showing in fashion of subway surfers gameplay - now I don't even have to scroll to read comments while watching? if I wanna see comment's I'll do that specifically.

Opened video info is moved from bottom to right - again subways surfers fashion now my brain is blown with the video and all the info at the same time. Yes there used to be next video list but at least if you were interested in opened video it wouldn't drag much attention.

Switching accounts doesn't redirect you to home page, and instead tries to imitate as nothing changed, for some reason leaving my laptop unable to pause ongoing video or exit it for about 10 seconds.

A bit older but they removed dislike counts, but we adapted, just like we will to anything, with a bit of complaining or not.

The biggest problem for me is that it is a design drawing too much attention from the video and laggy and slow experience because I have a casual laptop.

I might seem arrogant but these are some things I've been keeping in my mind regarding youtube and these are my opinions. After all I just want some older version because it had already what you need but it wasn't laggy for my laptop.

Recently, I have been thinking about using this 1 TB portable hard drive that I’ve owned, but never used, for 2 years. Specifically, apart from saving important files and potentially transferring my files to a new computer, I also wanted to install PC games onto the portable drive. However, my question is, is it safe to connect a 1 TB portable hard drive to a laptop with only 200-something GB of storage space? And does connecting an external drive to a computer increase the storage space? That’s all I have to ask for now. If I have more questions about this, then I will edit this post to include them. Thanks in advance!

i have a 2t 990 pro and a 4t 990 pro with heatsink which are both m.2 so there is 2 physical drives

i am gonna use 1T for operating system as C drive from the 2tb drive

which leaves 1 tb from first drive and 4 of the second drive

should i merge them (by formatting and partitioning) into 5t drive or will there be disadvantages or loss of speed

pc is new so there is no data loss from formatting

Hi everyone,

I have an old laptop (circa 2020) from uni that I really only use for business. All my books are cloud based but I use excel for a bit of record keeping, having a few different spreadsheets for different things.

A couple days ago though every office program suddenly became unlicensed, I’m assuming that maybe the license from my university that this laptop had on it has run out, or something similar.

All I’m wondering is can I just a buy a product key online, in a once off payment to keep using the Office 2019 products? And if so, can anyone recommend a cheap one?

Thanks!

anyone have a windows 10 iso file i cant download it when im on a mac :/

Is there a spell check software that would work on anything you open on your computer? Like excel, word, google, notes, etc?

He folks, I tried around and searched the web. There is no place I could find a strict answer like: Sim Cards in Laptops/Tablets are not for making common phone calls (not VoIP), but I could not find any positive solution for my problem. The only thing seems to be the PHONE APP that was continued only for WinMobile.

So no chance here to solve? I would really like to use the SimCard in my Ideapad-Tablet for Internet AND still be available on my phone number...

Yes I know, a hotspot on my phone could do the trick. But as I am using a sweet BlackBerry Phone, I am afraid that my phone could melt doing this in summer (:

Cheers!

When i check the c disk's properties, it shows that it has 78 gb of used space. However, when I check the properties of all the files inside the disk, it amounts to 62.4 gb

is this normal?

Using Windows 10 version 22H2 (OS Build 19045.4529)

I am trying to create a share folder over the network that forces logging into a particular dummy credentials to access the file share regardless of whether both computers have the same user accounts.

For instance let say both computer A and computer B has the same local admin username and password of "Sys Admin", Windows file share automatically lets the Sys Admin account on computer A access the shared folder of computer B even when password required setting is toggled on in Network Sharing settings. So to stop that from happening I tried going on computer B into computer management, created account "sharedummy", gave it a password. Went back into folder sharing permissions and removed all permissions, then added only the sharedummy account to the permissions. I then hopped back on to computer A, and tried to access the share folder on computer B, it says access denied and doesn't give me any option to type in the credentials for the sharedummy account.

So how do I set it up so that it prompts me to type in credentials.

Here is exactly what I am doing to set up the share folder and user.

1. On Computer B click Start Menu -> Type "Computer Management"

2. Click "Computer Management" -> Click "Local User and Groups" - > "Users"

3. Right Click -> Click "New User"

4. Create New User "sharedummy", with password that never expires, and user can't change password

5. Navigate to the folder I want to share -> Right click "Properties" -> Click "Sharing" Tab

6. Click "Network and Sharing Center" -> Open up "All Networks" -> click "Turn on password protected sharing"

7. Go back to the folder's sharing properties screen -> Click "Advance Sharing"

8. Click "Share this folder" -> Click "Permissions" -> Click "Remove" on the "Everyone" user group

9. Click "Add" -> Type "sharedummy" -> Click "Check Names" -> Click "OK"

10. Click "sharedummy" -> Click "Full Control" in Allow column - Click "OK"

11. On Computer A Click "Start Menu" -> Open File Explorer -> Click "Network"

12. Click on Computer B -> Click on shared folder

13. Gets "Windows cannot access folder" message

So what am I doing wrong here?

I done this test because I could not find a recent data set with every browser I use compared together.

These amounts were found out by visiting the top 10 most visited sites according to Brave Search data:

Google.com, Youtube.com, Facebook.com, Amazon.com, Wikipedia.org, Instagram.com, eBay.com, Apple.com, Reddit.com and Yahoo.com

All websites had accounts signed in and all browsers used either Ublock Origin or the browsers native ad block (Safari used Adguard for Mac) Ad blockers were the only extensions enabled and private mode were turned on for all browsers to ensure the least amount of personal data was shared with the sites.

There are 2 sets of numbers, and they are categorized by High and Average. High is the max amount of ram found to be used during the testing and average is well the average amount found during testing. Testing time was 4 minutes per site.

Now the numbers:

Note: Safari is exclusive to Mac. Sites were visited at the same time on each browser.

Machine for Windows: Surface Laptop 3 with Intel Core i5-1035G7 CPU @ 1.20GHz, 8 GBs of RAM

Machine for Mac: MacBook Air Late 2020 with Apple M1, 8 GBs of RAM

Hey guys. Anyone know where I can get a free antivirus software for my Version 1803 Windows 10 Computer? Thanks!
