Q&A: How can I stop the “Get Office” messages from appearing in Windows 10?

Posted on December 14, 2016

Windows-10-logoQuestion from Austin B.:  Hello Rick. Love your site! I’m hoping you can help me get rid of a major frustration.

Ever since I installed Windows 10 I’ve been getting an annoying “Get Office” message at the bottom of my screen at random times.

I use Libre Office and I don’t have any intention of buying Microsoft Office. Is there any way to tell Windows to stop asking me to buy it?

Q&A: How do I get the File Explorer ‘Ribbon’ back in Windows 10?

Posted on November 30, 2016

Windows-10-logoQuestion from Jacinda P.:  The other night I was typing away when the File Explorer window popped into view. I closed it and thought nothing of it at the time.

The problem is I must have hit something to make the Ribbon disappear in File Explorer because it’s been gone ever since that night. I feel like such a dummy!

I use the ribbon a lot and I really miss it. Can you tell me how to get it back? My computer is an Acer All-In-One with Windows 10.

Posted on November 29, 2016

wordpress-logoQuestion from Elaine H.:  Rick, I’ve been writing a blog on the topic of women’s health and wellness for almost 3 years and it seems like it’s going absolutely nowhere.

I did some research and I’ve learned that switching my blog from Blogger.com to WordPress will make it easier to grow my blog.

I know that you write several popular WordPress blogs and I was wondering if you can recommend a good web host to move my blog to?

Q&A: Is the Windows 10 on my PC a retail version or OEM?

Posted on November 18, 2016

Windows-10-logoQuestion from John G.:  I’ve been reading your blog posts for a long time Rick, and several of them discuss the difference between retail versions of Windows and OEM versions.

Thanks to you, I now know the difference between the two. What I’m not sure about is whether the Windows 10 on my own computer is retail or OEM.

I know it used to be OEM because Windows 8 came pre-installed when I bought the computer. But I recently installed the free Windows 10 update and I was told that updating to Windows 10 automatically converts your Windows installation to a retail version. Is that correct?  [Read more…]
