    Should I get a new laptop before Windows 10 hits?

    Is that worth the $350 or so, though? That's half the amount I spent on the computer, and probably more than its current value (I know little about tech prices). At any rate, though, with the way MS is going to do the insider previews, my original question is irrelevant. I'll keep going on this...

    Should I get a new laptop before Windows 10 hits?

    Yeah, I didn't say it well, but new hardware coming out around when Windows 10 did was something I was wondering about. So Skylake is something to consider. Essentially what I'm trying to decide between is cost and new technologies. I'm rather limited financially, so if I'm to wait, the coming...

    Should I get a new laptop before Windows 10 hits?

    So here's my situation: My only computer is a Toshiba Satellite that's two and a half years old. It's still trucking along pretty well, at least on Windows 10, but it hasn't been performing too well as of late and I might need a new computer by the end of the year. (The Windows 7 install on it...

    terrible clock/calendar: help me tell what day it is?

    I've noticed this too. I'm pretty sure I've already given feedback about the current day highlighting in the feedback app. However, the app isn't working for me right now for some reason, so I can't check to see if it's there.

    Can't scroll by holding middle mouse and moving mouse in IE

    Does it cause a view of all open apps to come up? That was happening to me before. If your mouse is a Microsoft mouse, go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Mouse -> Mouse and Keyboard Center tab and click on "Click here to change Microsoft mouse settings." From there you can set your...

    Intel graphics card not detected

    Well I feel dumb. I just restarted my computer and now it's detecting the graphics card. Should have tried that before posting here. But thanks, anyway.

    Intel graphics card not detected

    So I went to play League of Legends on Windows 10 for the first time (I think, though I might have played it fine in an earlier build), and had to suffer through a game with 5-10 fps, even after turning all settings down to the minimum and closing all other applications. Afterward, I checked...

    New snap feature idea

    I realize that this wouldn't commonly be used on personal computers, which is why I mentioned it being particularly useful in a business environment. During a desk job, I usually had a setup similar to this and had to set it up every time I started work. If I remember correctly, I had the...

    How hamburger menus should be implemented universally in Windows

    I do think this compromises fairly well, and would prefer it over the current version. However, I think it could be better. Having both a hamburger menu and three-dots menu on the desktop is kind of redundant and confusing. I feel there should be only one menu button that merged the functions...

    New snap feature idea

    Apparently it wasn't clear what I meant. I'm talking about expanding the snap feature, not creating it. Here's the first snapshot that I gave; the second just has File Explorer and Notepad stacked vertically instead of horizontally:

    New snap feature idea

    I just had what I thought was a really neat idea for revamping window snapping, and I'm curious what people here think. Here's what I just submitted in the feedback app: I feel it would really take the snap feature a big step forward if we could easily and intuitively snap windows in any...

    Windows 10 Mobile - Wishlist (pre 10586.164)

    Re: Windows Phone 10 features wishlist I thought of this using Kid's Corner for the first time, and playing with Apps Corner. I would love to see some sort of guest mode on the phone, which could basically be an implementation of the guest account on desktop. This could take the place of the...
