  1. Rearranging file locations


    I reformatted one of my PC a while back and obviously did something wrong. My PC has a 250 GB SSD and a 1TB HDD. All my stuff is on the SSD. I would like for my OS and whatever else should live on that drive to be there and all my storage be on the HDD.I'd like to keep my programs but if I have to, Im prepared to do a complete reformat.....I just want to get it right this time.All my stuff is backed up.BTW...the machine was originally windows 7 pro but it has been updated to 10.Thanks in advance.

    :)

  2. Rearranging bookmarks in Edge

    I agree, not being able to rearrange bookmarks makes locating bookmarks within long list time consuming. Even if Edge respected import-order that would be great.

  3. Location service is greyed out

    Hi Shahriar,

    Thank you for responding.

    Sorry for the inconvenience caused for you, I suggest you to try the below troubleshooting steps and check If it helps.

    Step 1: Steps to turn on the Location settings.

    • Login as an administrator.
    • Press Windows key, type Location settings and select
      Change location settings.
    • Check whether Location for this device is On by clicking on
      Change
      .
    • Also turn on Location as well.

    Step 2: And as you are unable to set the service Geolocation service to automatic, I suggest you to run SFC scan and check.

    System File Checker is a utility in Windows that allows users to scan for corruptions in Windows system files and restore corrupted files.

    Follow the below steps:


    • Right click on the Start button, click on
      Command Prompt (Admin).

    • Type “sfc /scannow” without the quotes and hit
      Enter.

    • After the scan, restart the computer and check for the issue.

    Try to set the service to automatic by following the steps provided in the above post by Praveen Venugopal.

    Hope it helps. Kindly update the status of the issue, we will be happy to help you.
