Jenny recently wrote to me and asked an interesting question. She said she had searched to see how to best move her old Windows 7 computer to a new Windows 10 laptop. She went on to explain that she wanted to transfer passwords, bookmarks, etc. There are several things I understood from her question. One…
Over the past few weeks I have received some emails from people saying they are getting warnings on their computers regarding the Windows 10 upgrade. No, this is not a new virus, a Trojan or any sort of malware hitting the scene. Our friend – Microsoft. Many of you who have not converted to Windows…
Cortana? Is it a name to be loved or feared? Cortana is the “Siri”-like and “OK, Google” personal voice search feature found now in Windows 10 for PC. It was previously available the first part of 2015 for Windows 8.1 Phones. If you read last week’s article on linked and/ local accounts this continues that…

I had a question come in from Kelly this week about using more than one monitor on their computer. So what about more than one monitor on your computer is it possible? It is very possible starting with Windows XP Microsoft made it fairly simple to have two monitors, IF you have the available ports…
Last week I wrote about two Menu Applications for Windows operating systems. I specifically mentioned Windows Vista and 7 but those two apps will work on most any of them. They were “Desktop Sidebar” and “RocketDock“. Check last week’s Double Click for more details. I also mentioned bringing the Windows’ “Quick Launch Toolbar” that many…
Many people do not care for the almost-new Menu navigation system for Windows 7. I personally see where Microsoft could have made some additional changes; however, I still like it very well.
