  2. why do i need to buy outlook to sync phone

    If you want to sync a windows mobile phone to your computer, the software you'd use is Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Center. These applications are only designed to sync calendar, contact, task data to Outlook. If you don't have Outlook installed
    on the computer you can't use ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center to sync this data to your computer since there is no software on the computer to receive it.

    You might be able to find other third party syncing software that lets you sync to a proprietary calendar, but you'd have to buy that too and I don't know if such software really exists.

    If you've got a windows mobile 6.x device,
    you can sync contacts and tasks to a windows live account.

    why do i need to buy outlook to sync phone

    why do we need to buy a $150.00 program to sync a phone with computer? is there a cheaper way? not all of us are made of money

    Do i need to buy windows again?

    What OS did your laptop have on it before you changed your hard drive? If it ever had Windows 10 on it, then you are good to go and you do not need to buy another copy of Windows 10, the guy was wrong.

    Your first clue that this guy was all wrong is that, if you have a valid purchased serial, this allows install on one PC at any time !

    If there is no OS now, Go to this Microsoft page - Windows 10 and follow Looking to install Windows 10 on your PC? (have your serial on hand)

    If there is an OS; 7, 8, 8.1 use the top of the page where it says Update now and run download from desktop by mounting via r-click and hitting setup.

    Use the Media Creation Tool on an operating computer to make a Windows 10 USB installation flash drive or DVD. It's the Download tool button here:

    Windows 10

    Then you boot the laptop from the Windows 10 USB flash drive or DVD the media creation tool created and install Windows 10 from it. Just make sure you select the matching version/edition of Windows 10 your product key is for. You can verify that by running it through the "check product key" function of showkey plus:
