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?

    You mean like every version of windows, which after installing all the mandatory updates to fix all its problems also fills the even log with needless spam, so that when something does go wrong the log is virtually useless since you can't tell what is business as usual, and what is real problems. I would rather be homeless again, then maintain other peoples Microsoft products again.
