  1. Why is Microsoft putting my computer at risk


    Microsoft Insisted on giving a fictitious computer name something more like an address. when that did not work you insisted that I use 1 nominated by yourselves. In the communications for this it was compromised. I deleted it along with all passwords connected. ever since you continue to INSIST that I CONTINUE to use it which I can not do for security sake. I have chosen to use EDGE as my main means of navigation but to try and download apps etc. are blocked because you want me to sign in to the compromised address.

    I did purchase a 1 year subscription to Office 365 but I am unable to use the full benefit for reasons as above. So I will not be renewing that subscription I have taken on LIBRE which is a free service and I get all the benefits. If a solution is not reached I will stop using windows 10 and move back to FIREFOX. Really the choice is yours depending on how consumer friendly you are.

    :)

    Does this computer build have compatibility problems? Opinions welcomed!

    Lets start with what you're going to use this computer for, not what you want to put in it.

    Rules/steps to building a computer (in chronological order):
    First rule: Determine what your needs are.
    Second rule: Define your budget.
    Third rule: Pick parts.
    Fourth rule: Review parts several times.
    Fifth rule: Buy said parts.
    Sixth rule: Build it.

    You are on rule/step 1. Go through the list until you're done.

    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.

    Microsoft Edge Extensions Pose Risk?

    Did anyone else notice that, although Mohammed's answer to Kenneth is very courteous, IT DOESN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION? The question is this: is using Microsoft Edge a security risk? Here is a suggestion for structuring the answer: (1) Yes, it is a security
    risk because of . . . and here's what you should/can do; (2) No, it isn't security risk and here's why.
