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?

    a good Google query will narrow things down for you.

    This.

    The only issue I had on my single Windows 10 machine was bluetooth pairing, and that was because Microsoft had actually fixed pairing in W10, which was overly aggressive in prior versions (you could pair with just about anything that walked by in the past, now it insists that the device be visible and actively seeking to pair.

    Google (or even Bing will find the answers, and I suspect Applebarry (submitter) knew that already when he posted the submission.
