Hi Folks, Retired Army (20 years). Retired contractor (25 years). Suffering from Old fart syndrome. Looking for guidance/assistance with Windows 10 Pro "Features".
 
Hi and welcome
First off, thank you for your service.

You’re definitely not alone—Windows 10 Pro has a lot of features that aren’t always obvious or well explained. Feel free to ask specific questions about anything you’re trying to do (security, performance, updates, privacy, Pro features like BitLocker, Group Policy, Remote Desktop, etc.).

There are plenty of knowledgeable folks here who are happy to help, no matter your background or experience level. No such thing as a dumb question.

Looking forward to helping you out
 
Well youve come to the right place for advice for one thing.

As for Features, most have a HELP call up installed with them and starting any particular feature then press F1 brings up a help screen with easy to follow instructions.

If you would like to post your machines specs on this post so we have an idea of where to start,
Laptop or PC make and model
Memory
Processor speed and type
Storage space.

Then give us some sort of idea on what you need help with each time you need assistance. The forum is here to help young and old farts with no discrimination.

Getting help.
===========

Go to the Windows 10 forum, start a new thread with the title of the item you wish help with in Thread Title.

Enter the details you can think of ie name, use and other info and let us know how we can help. If its something specific then add that in the main body of the request.

Hit send and answers will be forthcoming.

General help is best found searching the web, specifics on features and programs we can help you with so dont be afraid to ask about anything in your machine.


We have a direct message system and email notifications to keep you up to date on the progress of a question or issue you need help with so dont be afriad to ask.

Oh and I found a way to stop getting old. I got to 23 and stopped counting !!!!
