SoylentNews is people

from the on-the-bleeding-edge dept.

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 have a reseller account, SourceCode.com [sourcecode.com] is where I buy mine.

      yeah I almost think this post is just trolling, but the user isn't a troll.

      I guess he rolls with the punches and doesn't really care what is going on under the hood.

      I *am* concerned that he upgrades to windows 10, and then asks questions. It should be the other way around.
