    Besides deleting programs, what else can I safely delete on my C drive, to free up space?

    I agree that the OP has an obsolete sized HD. One thing I can suggest is that MS Office can be run from the web and no longer needs to be installed locally. Other thing I can suggest (and mind you I don’t know the OP’s location) is to look into FreeCycle.org which is a website community whose...

    PIIQ File removal

    I Googled "what is a PIIQ File" and it came up that it is a Ransomware virus. Sounds like this person might have gotten themself into trouble by being infected by ransomware.

    Windows 11 There's a Gotcha, There's Always a Gotcha

    Hello, I saw somewhere that there is a W11 compatibility checker tool; does anyone know where to find it? I am strongly believing that my system will NOT make the cut because it is a 10 year old (bought it in 2011 - have the receipts still) and is not capable of upgrading the bios to UEFI...

The only links that might be provided would be where to download free, legal software or where to purchase software legally. Additionally this forum will not allow for the posting of instructions on how to...

    MICROSOFT Office PRO Plus 2016 v16.0.4266.1003 RTM

    This is not that type of forum. No one will help anyone get any serial keys because they consider it bootlegging and that is against forum rules.

    Moving a program loaded old hard drive to new computer to avoid re-installing all

    Have you considered just simply cloning the drive to the new laptop? I have an officially, as of 2021 (I located the original receipts and verified I purchased it in 2011 - Happy B'day to my HP) that had a 640GB mech HD and decided to replace it with a new 1TB SSD. I used Acronis (my chosen...

    Windows 10

    You can use a valid Windows 7 key to activate Windows 10 with the caveat being it must be the same versions....i.e. home to home and pro to pro you cannot use a 7 home to activate a 10 pro. You will not find ANYONE on here to give you ANY keys for ANY software as it is against the TOS Policy...

    How much do Windows 10 cost?

    I agree with everyone. A machine designed back in the XP days is not capable of upgrading to W10 for tons of reason. Back up your data and get a new machine. XP to W10 cannot and will not happen or work. It is not a matter of the drive it is a matter of the MOBO not being compatible. If...

    Win 10 Pro Hyper-v networking problem

    Thanks for the reply but since this was a lab exercise the IPs were provided and they were not APIPA (169.). Another teacher was consulted at the school and he pointed out that we needed to modify some settings that we overlooked. The setting we did not turn on was "Allow management operating...

    Win 10 Pro Hyper-v networking problem

    Hello, I am going through certification school and I am having problems with a lab and my tutor and instructors cannot figure the problem out either. I am using Hyper-v as opposed to Virtual Box because my Win 10 Pro machine was having problems with the VB and was already configured to do...
