After many many years of using PCs and being deeply vested in the MS ecosystem, OneDrive, OneNote, MS365, outlook.com, I'm planning on making the jump to Apple as far as the hardware is concerned. I know that MS 365 exists for Mac etc., but how is it to actually use on a day-to-day basis? Is...

Yes, everything works fine setting it up as outlook.com I just don't get the full functionality. I also thought that it might need to be an enterprise or education account.

Hi, it's been a long time since posting, but I've come accross an issue that's a bit frustrating. I'm well invested in the MS Ecosystem but gave up on Windows Mobile for iOS a while ago. I like using the Outlook app on iOS, but it wasn't possible to manage contacts properly until a while ago...

Sorry to say that I'm now no longer part of the 1%. After quite a few years with Windows Phone/Mobile, I've finally jumped ship to Apple. There are a number of things I am missing: Live Tiles, dark theme, file system, wide-angle camera. But on a whole, iOS just works well, it's polished. To...

HI all, Recently, Windows Central had an article about an app that could do multiple things, but one of them was doing layout planning, like floor plans for houses etc. I can't remember if it was in one of the "5 apps you should try", articles or seperate, but i cannot find the article...

I've been with WP since Nokia took it on as a smartphone OS. Until then I was a Nokia fan anyway. I liked the convergence they always went for. It was more about having one device for everything than it was about apps. Now, most Smartphones have got decent cameras, GPS, voice recording, media...

OK, so for anyone else with this problem - the solution is simple: Full (hard) reset. I wiped the phone clean, did the hard reset, rebuilt my apps slowly but surely over the weekend, and tried bluetooth audio in the car again, and it's all working fine again. I guess the OTA upgrade from...

Running the current official W10M on my Lumia 830. Before the last update, I was able to choose what app I wanted to open a PDF with. Now, I can only open it with Edge. I don't like this and want to change it. Is there a way to do this? Either there isn't or I'm just too stupid to find out...

I'm using the official release of 10 on my Lumia 830. I didn't want to experiment with the insider builds. Does this work on later insider builds? If so, that is encouraging, but I can't help but feel that they really missed something fundamentally important - especially considering it was...

Seriously, how could Microsoft screw something up that worked so well before? In the old "Music" app on Windows Phone 8.1, I could easily connect to my car's bluetooth audio and play music from my phone. This still works, but only in its most basic form, i.e. playback. in WinP 8.1, the...

I upgraded to the official Win10 mobile on my Lumia 830 a few days ago. I quite like many elements of it, but I've come across a few bugs that are a little bit annoying: Battery charging. I've noticed the battery drains a bit quicker than on WinP8.1, but it doesn't surprise me because it is a...

Re: Old ripped CDs vanished Could they be in the Windows.old folder on the C-drive? That's where a backup of all old data is made when a major update is done. It has saved me on the odd occasion that things didn't go exactly as planned with the update.

Thank your RumoredNow for this quite detailed explanation. I look forward to refreshing the old Dell and hopefully getting paid :D

Hi, I've just bought a new PC and want to sell my old laptop (Dell XPS12 convertible - last generation) Though it's 3 years old, it's still a really powerful device, especially since it was the top-spec version. So I think I should be able to get a decent few ?$?? for it. Of course though, I...

Just found this on the interwebs. Thought it was a nice take on a proper Windows Smartwatch That?s right, it?s a Windows Watch. | Yanko Design

That seems to be the next logical step. Will try that tonight... Thanks

Hi, I've been using a Lumia 925 on Win 10 Mobile Insider Preview Build 10536 that doesn't find any further upgrades. Even when I go and reregister to the fast ring in the Windows Insider app, it won't find any updates. So, I wanted to rollback to 8.1. Unfortunately the Windows Device Recovery...

OK, to make things weirder, I've discovered that the store works fine on my wife's profile, but not on mine. Does this make sense? I've no idea how to fix this, so I'm hoping someone can help.

Hi everyone, I'm hoping an expert out there can help. For no apparent reason whatsoever, the Windows 10 Store is not working on my PC. I'm running the normal, up-to-date version of Windows 10 Home on my Dell XPS 12, upgraded from Windows 8.1 via the normal upgrade route. The app is visible...
