    Hello community,

    I have recently acquired a Dell Precision 490 which according to the Microsoft Key Tag has Windows XP Professional installed. I found where the drivers for this computer can be downloaded for use with Windows 10. My question is how do I remove the XP O.S., the drivers, all apps and do a clean install of windows 10, and the drivers for this machine? I have never done anything like this before and it is a project that I have taken on in effort to learn. Thanks in advance,

    Ashtrey

    :)

  2. old email addresses

    Thank you for updating me HA.111

    Here is the step to remove that old email address.

    Start typing an email address into the “To” field. As soon as you see the old email address being recommended as one of the potential candidates, use the down arrow key to scroll through the list of suggestions. Once you highlight the old email address, type the delete key. In many cases, this will actually remove the entry not only from the current list of suggestions but from future suggestions as well. You may even find that as you mouse over the drop-down list the highlighted item will have an “x” to explicitly allow you to delete it.

    Just do this step and your good to go.

    Continue to have an escellent day HA.111

    Best regards,
