    Upgrading to Windows 11 from Windows 10 has made almost all of my PDFs and Word documents...


    How do I get rid of the "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be accessed by the system" error message when trying to open PDFs, and other various issues opening Word documents after migrating to Windows 11? All these files were functional prior to switching to Windows 11. I have tried a few of the most common fixes presented with a Google search on the issue, but none have worked thus far. Note: There is now a little tan cardboard box in front of all the files that existed before the migration to Windows 11. Thank you for any and all help.

    :)

    How do I send a word document via email as a pdf ?

    To send a Word document as a PDF via email on Windows 10, you can follow these simple steps:

    > Open the Word document you want to send as a PDF.

    > Click on “File” in the top left corner of the screen.

    > Select “Save As” from the list on the left.

    > Choose where you want to save the PDF and give it a name.

    > Click on the “Save as type” dropdown menu and select “PDF (*.pdf)”.

    > Click on “Save”.

    > Open your email client and create a new email message.

    > Attach the PDF file you just created to the email message. > Send the email.

    I hope these steps will help you send the Word document as a PDF via email successfully.

    Windows 10 upgrade problem, no input accepted

    I really hate having to come here and ask for help, but I really am stumped. It hurts my geek pride. I have a PC with fairly modern hardware in it. It has a p8p67 pro in it. I have tried upgrading windows 10 on it twice now. Both times I have had the same result.

    After windows finishes upgrading it goes to the log in/set up screen. I can't do anything. No keyboard or mouse input is accepted.

    I will list some, or hopefully all, of the troubleshooting steps I have tried:
    • Move keyboard and mouse to different USB ports.
    • Try different keyboard or mouse.
    • Restart computer, repeatedly.
    • Google for related issues.
    • Update Bios, because why not.
    • Create boot media and revert to windows 7.
    The windows 10 system restore boot media works fine with keyboard and mouse. All USB ports work in windows 7. I don't know what is wrong. I suspect that windows 10 is lacking a driver of some sort, but since the computer accepts no input I have no way of checking for which driver let alone installing it.

    Please help me figure this out. If I have to revert back to windows 7 again, I am not going to get it upgraded to windows 10. Thank you in advanced.
