I have Windows 10 Home. This machine originally had Windows 8, was upgraded to Windows 8.1 (as a clean install), and then upgraded to Windows 10 (as a clean install). Here is what it says in my license file 7. Downgrade Rights. If you acquired a device from a manufacturer or installer with a Profess... |

My Top 5 Computer Tips: 1. Have installation media kept handy. That way, if worst comes to worst, you can perform a re-install. Optical medias, are a dying form. Personally I still use them out of habbit. The only reason they've survived this long is because music is still widely sold on CD, and mov... |

It's hard to find gum that doesn't use aspartame unless you buy from special stores, which for me would mean buying online from random places . Gum tastes sweet to me (even if it uses aspartame), but when aspartame is used in other things like drinks, it tastes gross. I prefer sugar. |

Yes it's a laptop. An old Dell one. The next graphics processor model up, has compatible drivers, but my model was the cut-off. Doesn't matter though, it's just a spare machine. I bought it used, maxed out the ram at 2GiB (it came with 256MiB), and got it a large battery. I figured the battery would... |

I still have a Windows XP machine. The graphics chip driver isn't compatible with newer versions of Windows, so upgrading isn't an option unless I want to use the basic Windows graphics driver. Windows XP still works fine for this machine, does everything I need it to, and I'm not worried about infe... |

My forum only has 6 members, and none of them has posted once I think part of that might be to do with how you've worded things on your main page. It makes it sound like users whom register must donate $20, not that YOU will donate $0.50 per registration (up to a max of $20 total). At least, that's... |

I spent the entire weekend trying to update from Windows 8 to Windows 10, but haven't managed it yet. Like many, I suffer from the issue with the Windows 10 installer working the system so hard it overheats and powers off to avoid damage. I was able to manually apply the install.wim to my hard-drive... |

In my eyes, Trident Layers is the best gum because: 1. It's flavor lasts as long or longer than other gums. Not that that's very long. 2. It stays soft, even after hours of chewing. One of the few gums that does this! And unlike others it doesn't dissolve. 3. It has good flavors. 4. Lots of pieces p... |

I had trouble with them all. The best way I can put it is, once I got the hang of it, I knew what the answer was, but didn't know the exact word to put, or if it should be capitalized, pluralized, etc, so it took several guesses. The one about fruit was particularily hard, because I didn't know if i... |

Just a note. If you use a fake email address, as I did, it must be for a real domain. The registration page checks the domain for an MX record. For example I tried to use name@fakeemail.brainout.net, and name@email.fakedomain, but because they don't exist the security measure on the registration pag... |
