Question from Aleisha: I remember back when Windows 10 came out Microsoft really tried to push everyone into installing it.
Will they be doing the same thing with Windows 11?
I wasn’t happy about having to update to Windows 10, but I finally got used to it.
I hope I don’t end up having to switch to Windows 11 now that I’m finally used to Windows 10.

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 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?
