    Trouble opening MS Office applications on Treo 700w

    Storage Card was in place when I did the upgrade, and actually, I think I indicated that the upgrade should be stored on the Storage Card. Was this not correct?

  3. Second display indicated by AMD as disabled

    Hello Pierre,

    Thank you for posting your concern in Microsoft Community and welcome to the Windows 10 Family.

    To be able to mirror the screen on a third-party device, you need to make sure that the source as well as the receiver have Miracast support. If the manufacturer of the third-party device has mentioned that the device supports wireless display, then
    you can be rest assured of the Miracast compatibility with the device.

    To use miracasting on your computer, please follow the steps below and check if that helps.

    • To access project option on Windows 10 Technical Preview, press the
      Window + P keys together.
    • If your computer supports the Miracast display, then you will see an option as
      Add a wireless display.
    • Click on Add a Wireless display. It will start searching for the new displays which are available in the range provided. Once you find the required device on the search results, click on the
      device name.
    • Now Windows will install the required drivers on the device and shortly you will see the third part display displaying your device.
    • Later if you want to disconnect the device, you can do the same from your computer by going to the project screen (Windows + P keys) and clicking on the
      disconnect option.

    Additional Information:

    Project to a wireless display with Miracast

    Stream pictures, video, and music using Play

    (Links relevant for Windows 8.1 also applies to Windows 10)

    Hope the above information is helpful. If you need further assistance, feel free to write to us and we would be happy to help you further.

    Thank you.

    How are you comparing them?

    Storage app doesn't include compression (that can reduce games size by 70%). All it shows is the developers guess.

    Can you give an example of how big something is shown and how big you think it should be.

    TreeSize Free gives a reasonable estimate usually.

    EDIT: Another thought - do you use Steam? There were bugs in the Steam App showing size to be sum of everything installed. Anyway, have a look with TreeSize and see.
