Windows 10: F9 and on & on...

Keyboard shortcuts: They exist for damn near everything. There are lists of them one can find. After a time, one remembers some of them maybe. Did you know F9 goes in & out of Immersive Reader But here's the tip Oh yes, there was a tip coming If you hover on things, instead of immediately clicking, you can see the KB shortcut for that item button... even without finding any lists, can learn what's possible. the ⋯ is Alt+F History is Ctr+H And the list goes on & on Cheers, Drew

Computer won't boot after deleting data partition

• 2011 Clean Install of Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit
• 2013 Clean Install of Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
• 2020 Free upgrade to Windows 10 Professional 64-bit

As you can see these partitions were created by Windows a long time ago. What changes do you suggest I make?

BTW, one of the changes suggested earlier was to update my BIOS. I was perplexed by this. Here are notes I found:

• Thursday April 25, 2013: Replace F8 BIOS with F9 BIOS
• Thursday February 27, 2014: Replace F6 BIOS with F9 BIOS

It is apparent that unknown to me the BIOS has been rolled back at least three times by Gigabyte Dual-BIOS.

 

F9 key not working

Thank you for your reply, Gina. Unfortunately, this does not solve my problem. I found tried this fix yesterday, after reading about it somewhere. When I go to "Mouse & touchpad" the only adjustment I find is to change the length of delay. No matter if I
set it for "long delay" or "no delay" there is no change in the actions of the pad and cursor--it still jumps around with annoying frequency.

I would love to find an option to disable the track pad entirely. If I can't do it with the F9 key, then I would like to do it some other way.

Thanks for any follow-up information.
