Building a PC for my dad and he does not want a Microsoft account at all. The setup screen keeps forcing a sign-in. Is there still a way to finish install with just a local user?
Old office PC needs a clean Windows 7 reinstall and I have the ISO. The Microsoft USB tool I remember seems to be gone. What free tool still writes a bootable Windows 7 stick that works on a legacy BIOS machine?
Getting error 0x80004005 whenever I try to move a folder to my external drive. Small files go across fine, it's the bigger folders that fail partway through. Any idea where to start?
I want to show my iPhone screen on my laptop during a video call so people can see an app. AirPlay obviously doesn't work with Windows. Phone Link connects but only shows notifications and messages. What do people use for this?
Woke the PC up this morning and the taskbar is just gone. Start button too. Moving the mouse to the bottom doesn't bring it back, and the windows key does nothing. Desktop icons are still there.
On Windows 10 I just dragged the taskbar to the left edge of my ultrawide. On 11 it won't move at all and I can only align icons to the left, which isn't the same thing. Is there a setting I'm missing or did they remove it?
Doing a clean install and the installer wants a key before it lets me pick Pro. I read Microsoft publishes generic keys that install an edition but don't activate it. Is that right, and does the PC then activate from the digital licence it already had?
