  3. Windows 10 Sleep mode question

    I had recently bought a new laptop (with SSD) that came with Windows 10. My older laptops that I had were run by an older version of Windows. To wake those old laptops from sleep mode, all I had to do was swipe the touchpad, press any key, or open the
    lid. With my new laptop, it seems the only way to wake it from sleep mode is by pressing the power button. Is this SAFE? Can I just press the power button to wake my computer from sleep or will this harm the SSD? Is there any other way to wake my laptop
    and how?

  6. If your computer does not support Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI), the earlier steps may not be available. In this case, you have press the power button to wake the computer.
