Laptop went black and won;t reboot

Hi Andree,

Hardware and software conflict is one of the possible reasons why you're experiencing black screen. Sometimes, it is also because of hardware failure. To get this issue fixed, we suggest that you
boot into Safe Mode by following these steps:

• Turn off your computer 3 times while booting. Windows should automatically boot to the Recovery Environment after 3 unsuccessful attempts in a row.
  
• Once you are within the Recovery Environment, select Troubleshoot, and then
  Advanced options, then Startup Settings, and
  Restart. When it restarts, you should see a number of options. Press 5 or F5 for
  Safe Mode with Networking.

Once your computer is in Safe Mode, please follow the workaround provided on this
link. Simply select the similar case that you're experiencing to show the troubleshooting steps.

Let us know how it works.

 

How to disable entering a pin number at start up?

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated. I understand your concern and I am glad to help.



Try the below steps and check if that helps:

• Open Settings.
• Click on Accounts.
• Select Sign-in options.
• Look for PIN. Since you have already created a pin, you should be getting option as
  Forgot my PIN, click on that.
• Now click on Continue.
• Don’t enter the pin details and click on Cancel.
• Now check for the issue.

Keep us posted if you face any issues on windows in future. We will be glad to help you.

 

Acer Laptops :are they crap ?

Acer makes a cheap prodcut period. They user lower end plastics, as well as assembly. (I hate working on Acer laptops)

If budget is an issue then get an acer... though for $50 more you could get a gateway that will smoke the acer in terms of quality.

For a laptop though i would suggest one of the DV7T's from HP or a Business class Toshiba/HP/IBM (not the lenovo branded, the Thinkpads)
