  1. Thinking of switching from Mac to Windows. Need help


    Hello,

    I've been thinking about buying a PC for awhile now and quit Apple ecosystem. I do use Windows 10 daily at work, so I kind of know what to expect, I guess, but I do need some help:



    I have external harddrives in APFS format. How can I transfer my files from Mac to Windows, also backups etc.

    Also, what do you guys use for backup? Does Windows even have "Time machine"? Mostly I would like to transfer my files from Mac to PC. Is it somehow possible without formatting the external hard drive? Thanks

  3. Taskbar bug: switching to another window -will not appear at the front


    Follow either of these steps to fix the issue with the Active window hiding behind.

    Method 1:
    I suggest you to disable window by hovering over it with the mouse and check if it helps. To do so I suggest you to try the below given steps and check if it helps:

    1. Press Windows key + X key and click on Control Panel.
    2. Select or click Ease of Access.
    3. Click or tap onEase of Access Centre.
    4. Click on Make the Mouse Easier to Use was uncheck Activate Window by hovering over it with the mouse.
    5. Check if issue is resolved.
    Method 2:
    I would suggest you to completely uninstall the touchpad driver and reinstall it. Kindly follow the below given steps.

    1. Press “Windows key + X” and click on “Device Manager”.
    2. In the list of devices, you should see the touchpad drivers.
    3. Right click on the device and then select "Uninstall".
    4. In the uninstall dialog, make sure you select the option to delete the driver package from the system. This causes the driver package installed earlier to be deleted.
    5. In the Action menu of Device manager, select “Scan for Hardware changes” option. This will cause the device driver to be reinstalled. Once the driver is installed, close all windows and restart the computer.

    Blogger Compiles List of 50 Reasons to Switch to Mac OS X

    I'm sorry, but that guy is completely weird...He may be true about his reasons, but the fact is another person could come up with 50 reasons to switch to Vista. It's personal preference, and both have their values and their flaws. I'm glad this guy stayed neutral on the subject.
