  1. I have a 2018 dell laptop that was left to me when my mom passed.


    My mom passed and left me her dell laptop. Now here's the tricky part. She has it password protected and pin protected. I don't want to reset it due to having photos on it but Microsoft is no help in changing the password due to me not knowing everything about my mom's everyday life. How can I either create another account from the login screen or retrieve access to her account?

    :)

  3. Dell laptop from hell

    So my moms dell is a piece of crap. I really think this laptop is from hell

    I've put vista on it and it works for a couple months then random blue screens, and windows 7 on it same thing, changed the hard drive from a wd 320 to a seagate (vista/7 like before) but it still continues to blue screen. Ram passes test, board passes test, etc. I've done thorough hardware tests, and it passes all the tests. I seriously have no idea what to do at this point.

    Does anybody have any other suggestions or am I ranting?

    this is what she has - windows 7 isn't even officially supported.
