Question from Marie: I love your tips Rick, and I visit this site every morning to see what’s new!
Now, my question: I’m trying to completely delete my Facebook account because I’ve seen nothing but harassment on there since I signed up over a year ago.
The trouble is I don’t know how to delete the account. What do I need to do?

Question from Betty: I read an article suggesting that everyone needs to keep the software on their smart phones up to date.
It also said to be careful not to ‘brick your phone’ while you’re updating it. Can you tell me what they mean by that? Thanks.

Question from Andrew: Rick, I have a weird problem and I’m hoping you can help me solve it.
Since I switched from I.E. to Google Chrome I can’t read any RSS feeds. All I see is gibberish that looks like computer code.
I really like Chrome, but I really need to be able to read RSS feeds.
Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.

Question from Kevin: My laptop has Windows 10 on it and every time I press a key to wake it from sleeping I have to sign in again.
I’m the only one that has access to this laptop during the workday so I really don’t need to worry about someone else using it.
That’s why I only actually log off when I shut it down before I leave to go home in the evening.
My question is how can I have the laptop go straight to the Desktop after waking from sleep without having to sign in again? [Read more…]

Question from Joseph: I have a 2009 era Dell desktop that’s running Windows 7. The hard drive began acting up a while back so I replaced it with a 128GB SSD.
I’d now like to replace the Windows 7 with Windows 10, but I’ve heard that a 128GB drive isn’t big enough to hold Windows 10.
Will I need to replace the existing SSD with a bigger one before installing Windows 10?
