Windows 10: My elderly mother has a laptop that has not been used in almost 2 years, and I'm trying to...

My mother never used the laptop and has dementia so she doesn't know the pin. I tried too many times, so no "forgot my pin" comes up anymore. How do I create a new account for my son and get on the laptop? It's literally been used twice in 2 years.

Elderly

Let's stick to one topic and leave the emotional stuff aside. To print a picture from anywhere, do this:

1. Create a desktop shortcut for snippingtool.exe.
2. Drag it onto the Task Bar so that it is always easily accessible.
3. Click it on the Task Bar to open it.
4. Use your mouse to draw a frame around any screen area.
5. Click File, then Print.

Step 4 depends a bit on your version of Windows (which you did not state).

 

Elderly

Hi Windows, my mother only wants to access emails, the pictures they have, to be able to print these and light entertainment such as youtube cute animal videos. Do you have a disabled setting for the elderly? If not why not? Not all are clueded on
to learning in their later life? Why do you update your versions but make elderly learn this new crap and make the previous version not an option in the new "windows"? I wish you had a viable competitor Windows. Frustrated, Doug

 

Core 2 Duo for laptop CQ40-314TU

I have found something about CPU Upgrade on the Intel's Website, the manufacturer of my laptop's chipset (GM45 Chipset). Currently, the CPU which this laptop is using (Dual Core T3400) is NOT in this list: http://ark.intel.com/chipset.aspx?familyID=35509
The laptop's chipset also support Core 2 Extreme Technology, which I think the latest CPU Technology.
I have another laptop called Acer Aspire 5572ANWXMi that is using the chipset 945GM which support the T7600 (like you suggested) and it is in this list: http://ark.intel.com/chipset.aspx?familyID=22816
