Windows 10 - Connect to WIFI with a Password


This one is for Ken so that he can connect to Wifi down at the club.

Your computer won't automatically connect to the internet when you take it to a new place. A laptop or tablet or phone connects to the Internet through Wifi (short-range wireless signal).

A Wifi connection is usually protected by a Wifi password which needs to be entered into the laptop. You only have to enter the password once, the laptop will remember it after that and automatically connect to that Wifi whenever it is near to it.

Windows 10 - Anniversary Upgrade Stuck at 99%


Some users are reporting that their Windows 10 Anniversary upgrades are getting stuck at 99%.
Microsoft's advice is to wait until the upgrade finishes which they say could take all day and there's no guarantee that it will work.

An alternative method that seems to be working OK is to manually install it using a Microsoft Program called the 'Media Creation Tool'.

1)  Click here to download the Media Creation Tool. The program will be downloaded to the 'Downloads' folder.

Windows 10 - How to find and start a program


There are at least 5 ways to find & start a program on Windows 10.
As an example, I will show the various methods to find and start the 'Windows Media Player' program.  (Click on an image to see the full size.)

Note: I'm using the Windows 10 Anniversary edition which is slightly different than the first Windows 10 as it shows the list of programs by default instead of having click on the 'all apps' icon to show the program list.

The 5 methods are -

1) A Taskbar Shortcut icon    (only if you have one. 
2) A Desktop Shortcut icon   (only if you have one. 
3) From a Start screen icon    (only if you have one. 
4) From the Program List.
5) From a Search.

Windows 10 - Restore the old photo import


This post explains how to restore the old import routine in Windows 10. This tip comes courtesy of Mike Lang.

With Windows 10, Microsoft brought out a new Photo app called 'Photos'. They also hid the old Photo import. The problem with the new Photo app is that it it makes it very difficult to import photos into the folder of your choice. It doesn't give you the option to name the folders. It lumps all your photos by dates.

This post is slightly more technical than most. It explains how to create a shortcut to the old import program. If anyone doesn't feel confident doing it, we can do it for you at our BAY Centre technical clinics every Friday 11am - 1pm & 1.30pm - 3.30pm (£2 per session which includes a hot drink and biscuits).

We are going to create a 'shortcut' on the desktop which will point to the old import program.
