    You need to use the 'Nokia Support' tab at the bottom of this page or contact Nokia Store 'Support' along with this detail .. This is a User-to-User forum where I am afraid, such issues can't be resolved ..

    Hi Linda, I'll try to help you with some of your issues. First create some space on your disk. This will tell you how.
    Open and Use Disk Cleanup in Windows 10

    For zip files, right click the zip folder and select extract here, if you have that option. If not install 7zip (7-Zip) Just be sure you download the version (X64 or X32) for the operating system you have. If you don't know which you have, right click the start flag in the bottom left of your screen, select system from the menu that pops up. You will see a screen like below. It will tell you whether yours is X64 or X86. You will see mine is X64.

    i've used disk cleanup. apparently it's not enough. what about the compression option?


    i'm going to try the unzipping thing. i did copy th file to another folder and told it to extract all, but then what?

    and sometimes i make new folders for my desktop and when i go to find them they are not there. i just made a folder to extact the games. then it was somewhere else. and when i did find it and look inside there were no extracted files. i'm usually not so stupid about the computer. i hate windows 10. can i downgrade to 7?

    I would suggest you find a beginner's book for Windows 10. Amazon.com has quite a few of them, but I would go with one published in late 2016 (August, September). I think maybe one for Seniors might work for you also, since you've had a stroke and things are hard for you right now. I'm a very, very senior and I know all about "hard to learn" new things.

    Here's a link to Amazon.com's Windows 10 Beginner books: Amazon.com: windows 10 books - Computers & Technology / Schools & Teaching: Books

    i ran a program to clean up windows and all of my bookmarks and saved passwords are gone. i just had them organized and i need the saved password/log-on. my documents, desktop folders, pictures all say empty, but i did find those when i look under "user".

    i had erased some programs but it still says i have 28.7 gb used out of 29.0

    anyone know how to recover the bookmarks?

    It depends on your browser. I searched "recover bookmarks" in Bing, which is my search engine of choice, and the results are here. Just click on the one(s) that have your browser listed.

    Linda, what program did you use to clean up files and exactly what computer do you have? Manufacturer and model number please.

    Hi Linda,
    I have a question: this laptop that was given to you, it is used? In other words, does it still have all kinds of leftovers from the previous owner, or was it completely reset to like how it comes from the manufacturer? Because it sort of sounds to me like it may have problems (infections?) and perhaps you need to start fresh.

    let me tell you the rest of my sad story. my sweet husband died one Sunday morning of a heart attack. 6 months later his father did the same. i brought all of his electronics to my house to try to sell. i did reset to factory some of the lap tops, but not this one. i think all of his stuff is out, but there are so many acer programs and win 10. it's crazy. i would like to reset to factory, byt wouldn't that stll leave the acer files and th windows 10 programs? i would format the hard drive, but can't get that to work. seems like it's protected. did you see that the message i get is that 28.7 gb is used out of 29.9 gb./ i need to do something. i don't need a lot of fancy programs to make me happy. i do have another acer here that runs windows 7. maybe i'll change to that one. i like to have my big monitor attached and the monitor plug on the acer one doesn't screw on so it keeps falling off. can i format this c drive????
