Answer to: I want to make a serverJonathan — Choose the computer you wish to use as a “file server.” Then, select the drive that will hold the files you wish to access. “Share” that drive. Then, go to each of the other computers and “Map” that drive on each of them. Instructions here: https://www.dummies.com/computers/operat...-systems/windows-7/how-to-map-a-network-folder-in-windows-7/ I am doing this with a six computer network using Windows 10. Works great. Let me know if any questions. Good luck, Russ

Answer to: Why is my trigger stuck in forward or reversePlanemech - I occasionally have that issue with one of my drills. I spray WD40 into and around the trigger and work it back and forth vigorously. Let the excess drain out. Usually that works. Electrical contacts are well above trigger housing area, so no problem there. Good luck, Russ

Answer to: Why does my subwoofer start to make a rumbling sound at high volumesIt sounds like a small tear in the speaker cone. It will be visible. Remove the cover to inspect. If it is a small tear, you can probably repair it with rubber cement. If larger, you will need to replace the cone. Good luck, Russ

Answer to: SOLVED READ FULL! How can ı transfer ONLY Windows? From Hdd to SsdBerke -- Ok, the problem just got simpler. One choice would be to clone your old drive to the SSD, but from your comments, I'm guessing you don't want to do that. So, you will need to do a fresh install of Windows 10 on your new SSD. If you have installation media, that's easy. If not, use the Windows Creation Tool at this link: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/15088/windows-create-installation-media to create a bootable USB or DVD for your installation. Your computer should be connected to the internet for the following Install the SSD into your computer, then boot to your install media. If DVD, it should boot naturally there. If USB, you will need to select boot media thru BIOS selection or an F? key. Once booted to the Windows install media, just follow the directions. The system will restart a few times, but do not boot to the install media again. Let it boot to the new Windows install. If it asks to get new updates, let it do that. When your install is complete, it will search for drivers. If you...

Answer to: Windows failed to start. Should I buy a windows 10 disc to restore?Cranberry -- The Reinstall/Install CD from Amazon sounds like your best bet. There are several versions. I would probably pick the 2-disk set as it is more likely to have the drivers you need. I have not used a Win10 version, but got a Win7 version recently for an older machine I was playing with, and it worked fine. Boot to the CD and follow instructions. Your system will search for drivers when booted up. You will probably need to Reactivate Win10 after installation, that should not be a problem as long as your reinstall is the same version as the original installation: 32/64, Home/Pro. If further questions, post here. Good luck, Russ

Answer to: How can I move a hard drive from an older pc motherboard to a new pcNonaste -- You have three issues here: 1 - Connection: If the older drive is IDE, your new motherboard may have only SATA connections. If so, you will need adapters -- both power and data -- to connect to the new motherboard. The adapters are readily available online. 2 - Drivers: When the Win7 drive boots up, it will search for necessary drivers for the new motherboard. You need to direct this search to the drivers that came with the new board -- could be CD or USB storage. If you are connected to the internet, it will search there. It may boot up with basic defaults -- video, for example -- until you provide drivers. 3 - Activation: Your Win7 installation will need to be activated with Microsoft. It will attempt to activate when you are online. If it is an older install, that will often work first time. If not, there are extra steps for activation. It will work. I have done it many times. If more questions, post them here. Good luck, Russ

Answer to: Windows surface RT Micro SD card issue.Erick - Surface RT will recognize 32GB SD card (or larger). Now, you need to delete the existing 16GB partition and start over. Right-Click on Start Menu/Computer Management/Storage/Disk Management. Select the SD card disk and delete the existing 16GB partition. Now, create a new 32GB partition and format it: either NTFS or exFAT (I prefer exFAT). That should work. If you encounter a problem, let me know and I will try to replicate it on my RT. Good luck, Russ
