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?

    I get that you would want to "ignore the obvious useless posts" but why do you have to be a jerk to the one person that actually provided information? "good for you".

    You're the kind of asshole nobody really likes hanging around. You're a smug piece of shit.

    Next time you ask for help, how about trying to not belittle the one person that actually helps you. Or maybe not asking for help at all.

    I don't read that as being a jerk - he acknowledged what the other poster had done and said 'good for you'. You seem to have taken it as a sarcastic statement, whereas I read it as an acknowledgement and a hat tip.

    You're the kind of asshole nobody really likes hanging around. You're a smug piece of shit.

    However, you certainly don't make the mistake of leaving your views unclear - this is an unnecessary comment and, imho, quite undeserved.

      Yes, just to re-clarify, I wasn't looking for specific Googled answers to the question "How do I make my printer work with Windows 10."

      I was asking what specific sites are best for quality advice from users and others.

      For instance, for Mint Linux I go to http://forums.linuxmint.com/ [linuxmint.com].
