    Windows 10 Hacked; CPU useless


    I was hacked: I answered a phone call I thought was from a client, but it was "Microsoft tech help" that had "noticed I had been having problems with Wifi" which was true. I let this go on as far as letting caller access my machine remotely before I ended the conversation. This guy was smooth, of course. I have been using an until recently, reliable Dell Optiplex 3010 with a newish 5G hard drive. Ideally, I will get it CPU up and running for long enough to do a data shred and install Windows 11 over my Windows 10. Or it may be time to dispose of it. However, at this point, when I sign onto

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    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

    DOWNLOAD WINDOWS 10 NOW - Upgrade and ISO direct from microsoft

    Click to expand... Yeah I went to that site, why do I need to buy a key?
    I won't buy a key, stupid.

    I'll revert back to windows 7 then.

    When I still was on windows 7, about a year ago I added 4GB extra ram which is a total of 8GB now,
    is that causing the problem?
