  1. This isn't my old Windows 10


    I'm 68 and have had Windows computers since 1997 and experience/semi-mastered every version since Win95.My newly bought refurbished computer with Windows 10 installed has threatened to upgrade to Windows 11 tomorrow at noon.I'm trying to set up as much as I can before that happens.I have a seniors' discounted internet deal that gives me email etc., but limits how long I can be online per month, so games can't be played on the internet, only downloaded onto my computer and played there later offline. I downloaded a bunch of windows games Win7 chess titans and others today and it installed them

    :)

  2. Printer isn´t working after latest update.

    After the latest update from Windows, my Canon Pixma ip6600 printer isnt working. In Device Manager it shows up as working properly but when I go to print it isn´t listed as an option in any programs. Troubleshoot suggests it´s a USB 2 printer on a USB
    3 port and that that´s the problem but that cant be since it worked fine before the update. I´ve tried to uninstall and plug it back in but that doesn´t work either.

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Cortana isn´t working

    When I hit enter, it did something, but there´s still no Cortana, even after restart. So I tried it again, but now it says that it failed, because it´s already installed and it´s working in PC. So it should work, but Cortana still isn´t here.
