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?

    So basically like Linux distros

    This is not the appropriate thread for a M$ shill to post tu quoque accusations. And you are offtopic, since, if you had read the Fine Summary you would know the issue is finding information on the errors, not that there are errors. So, try harder, or just give the OP your secret contact number to Redmond so the poor bastard can get some help.

    I think I saw another post on this printer made by the OP elsewhere yesterday.
    God! I am SOOO Glad for Linux! [linuxmint.com]

    If the 2 usernames are not the same person, that is a fantastic coincidence.

    My question at this point is:
    What task do you need to do that requires Redmond's spyware?
