I'm already relatively adept at technology support and maintenance, but I'm interested in expanding and testing my knowledge in IT and potentially pursuing a career in it. Does anyone know of good, free resources I could use?

Greetings, I have a limited amount of storage on my Surface Pro 4, and I want to move my OneDrive folder to a 128GB microSD card I have installed, that way any files I need to sync to my device will remain on the microSD card, instead of taking up precious space on my device. I figured I'd have...

Good morning, I have a baby daughter. I also have a Surface Pro 4 charger. One sad day, the bedroom door was left open, and the baby found my charger before I found her. Now, four of the twelve contact pins (one in each group of three) is covered in that green-black "rust." I've tried a dry...

Good morning, I'm looking to purchase a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 headphones. However, a large portion of my music collection are rather low quality MP3 files. So my question is this: what are the best Hi-Fi widely supported file formats, can I pull any Hi-Fi files from CD's (I have a very...

Good morning, I've been working on organizing my music, moving everything to an external flash drive, and getting my music for offline playback. I have free Groove Music until the end of the year so I might as well keep using it, right? However, Groove Music was updated in the middle of the day...

Good morning, I've been having some issues with my Pro 4 since yesterday. I got it out, like normal, to do some browsing and look at the LG V30. Nothing strenuous. I had some issues getting Edge to start, but after I got it working everything worked like normal. Then the screen completely froze...

Good morning, I need a good app for organizing and managing my decently large music collection. Something that allows me to edit all the metadata, and move my music around exactly how I want it. Something that's fast. Any ideas?

Something extremely annoying has recently started happening to my Twitter. My account has started automatically tweeting all of Digital Trend's articles. I have no clue how to turn these off because they're not an app permission - there's no Digital Trends app. I've scoured the settings (and...

Good morning, I'm looking for the opinions of people who are familiar with these two password managers. I use Enpass regularly and love it, but OneLocker looks like it might be an interesting option for the future. Have any of you used both? What do you think? Which one is the better password...

Good morning, My Pen for my Pro 4 recently died and I know it require a AAAA battery (bloody impossible to find) but does it also need coin cell batteries? I read something saying the Pen takes two 319 coin cells but I don't know where they are haha.

Good morning, I've been having this pop up for about a week and a half on my Surface Pro 4. If I clear it, it just pops back up five seconds later. If I type in my Microsoft Account password, it just vanishes then reappears almost instantly. I figure it has something to do with Office 365 but...

Good morning, Is there a way to manually connect two Windows 10 PC's together? I need to connect my HP Stream 8 to my Surface Pro 4 through the USB 3.1/microUSB ports in order to manually move/install a network driver onto my Stream 8. As of right now it only has a couple hundred megabytes of...

I've decided that I need to factory reset my HP Stream 8 due to unsolved driver issues and general Windows bugs. However, two problems stand in my way: 1) The recovery media on my HP Stream 8 is, well, nonexistent. It's simply not there. I'll need to use an external media in order to do so. 2)...

As I've said in another post, I've been facing a plethora of issues on my HP Stream 8 recently. I've been filing them down and fixing problems where I can, but I've narrowed down the issue behind the single largest problem I've been having. There is a substantial error with my Realtek Wireless...

Good morning, I own a HP Stream 8 running Windows 10 (the 32-bit version obviously) on the Fast Ring of the Windows Insider Program. It's currently running Build 16215, and I've been spending the day trying to get it up to date (I've been busy and haven't got the chance). However, I've been...

Good morning, I may be beating a dead cat here (is that the saying? I don't even know), but are there any major updates or enhancements planned for the Windows Central app for Windows 10? I still find myself exclusively using the website over the app except to read articles on my phone. It's...

Good morning, Okay, when I say "concept design" I mean it's a bunch of scribbles on a OneNote page that I've been messing with. Sorry guys, I haven't made some sexy new app design using Fluent Design that'll make you salivate. I wish I had though. I've just been playing with some ideas for the...

I've heard a lot of controversy surrounding the newly announced Surface Laptop, and I'd like an opportunity to discuss these controversies and opinions with the Windows Central community. I'm of the opinion that the Surface Laptop marks a departure for Microsoft from what the Surface line was...

Good morning, I was wondering what you guys all used for an antivirus. Are you just fine with the built-in Windows Defender? It's a great default option that constantly gets better. It's all I'm currently using on my Surface Pro 4. Do you use a free antivirus solution? On my old laptop I used...

Good morning, I've been away for a while (sorry guys, work and such), but I'm back now with a few questions/discussions. Don't worry, they're going in separate threads. First, I'm curious what you guys normally do to increase performance from a low powered device, like my HP Stream 7 (thanks...
