Our home just gained a shiny new HP laptop, which was immediately upgraded to Windows 10.
Much of the last tweny-four hours has been consumed by two tasks: making it print to an HP printer networked to our router, and moving email from Windows Live Mail on an XP box to the same program on the W10 machine.
If I run into a Linux problem (or even Android) I can usually visit a forum or other resource and get an answer in a few minutes. With Windows I'm Googling madly and chasing many more dead ends than useful answers.
And yes, that not surprisingly includes Microsoft's own sites.
So Soylentils, what are your go-to places for good-quality Windows 10 information?

If you read the EULA for the print drivers, you are only allowed to install the software on *one* machine. Not sure if that is related to the problem you and the OP were having.

Pffft. Works fine on Linux. Never worked on Win7 and up.

You've read the EULAs for all the printer drivers he could possibly be using, and they all state they can only be installed on one machine? Wow! Either you're talking out of your arse, or you must have been really bored to think reading all those EULAs was worth doing.

I tried to buy an HP printer before ultimately returning it. the EULAs are fairly boiler-plate.
