Q&A: What does HughesNet mean by ‘Unlimited data with no hard data limits’?

Posted on June 9, 2022

Question from Kellie:  Right now we have a DSL Internet from our local phone company.

It was pretty good when they first installed it, but it’s been terrible for the past year.

We’re wanting to switch to something else because my download speeds are averaging less than 2Mbps and they refuse to do anything to make it faster.

We really need the higher speed because our family does a lot of video streaming (or at least we try to).

Sometimes the Internet stops working at all and stays out for days at a time. I’d sign up for cable Internet but it’s not available in my area.

Q&A: Can you retrieve a Windows 10 license key from a bad hard drive?

Posted on June 3, 2022

Question from Keith:  I updated my Windows 7 computer to Windows 10 a while back, and like a dummy I didn’t write down the license key for it.

The hard drive in this machine went bad and I replaced it with a 1TB SSD. The bad drive appears to be completely dead because it doesn’t make any noise at all.

I have already installed the SSD I and downloaded the Windows 10 files onto a thumb drive with the instructions they provided.

The thing is, I’ll need the license key to activate Windows 10 after I install it, right? [Read more…]

Q&A: How do I uninstall the ‘Phone Link’ app in Windows 11?

Posted on May 29, 2022

I have no desire to use my computer as a phone because I like to keep my devices as isolated from one another as possible.

I want to uninstall the Phone Link app but I can’t figure out how to do it. Can you help?  [Read more…]

Q&A: Why can’t I find the setting to turn on Facebook Protect?

Posted on May 25, 2022

Question from Sandy:  Rick, I read your warning about getting Facebook Protect enabled on my account.

I tried to find it on both my 6s Plus iPhone and tablet, but I never found it on either device.

My tablet is several years old.

Am I doing something wrong or is it possible that my devices just don’t offer it?  [Read more…]
