I am trying to help a friend by transferring some video files from my Windows PC to my friend's iPad. My background is Windows and Android so I am a little lost in the Apple world! Ideally, I would like to connect the iPad to my PC with a USB cable and copy the video files over. Is this...

Thanks for all the help. I am sure the suggestions will help me sort it out Update: All was quiet this morning, but I set the USBLogView utility running and left it for a while. Fortunately, the sound started up and the log showed up a device connecting/disconnecting several times. It was...

I have a Windows 11 PC and it has been running quite happily for a couple of months, but the last few days it has started to make a sound (a sort of blip) every few seconds. Also noticed that if I go on to Device Manager then it lists all the devices then refreshes the list, again, every few...

All sorted now. It is possible, but a bit fiddly!!!!

I have just moved from Windows 10 to 11 on my PC and am getting frustrated that I need to enter my PIN code so often..... When it first boots up Waking up after a sleep Whenever it auto-fills a username/password My PC is very secure and I do not want/need this security. On Windows 10 there was...

Yes, I have been putting off upgrading for a while and think this issue is going to tip the balance :)

Yes, I am, but read that this was a bit dangerous and might miss out on security updates, etc.

Thanks. I am replacing motherboard, too, so I am hoping BIOS will not be an issue!

That would be good to go straight for Windows 11! I am replacing the following hardware..... CPU: Intel i5-4690K @ 3.5 GHz Motherboard: ASUS Z97-P RAM: 8GB It is currently running Windows 10 Pro 22H2 (64-bit)

Do you mean motherboard, cpu, RAM, etc? I plan to do a fresh install of Windows 10 using the activation key I used last time

I am wanting to update my current Windows 10 to 11 and am having to replace the innards of my PC because the CPU does not support Windows 11 (despite being way quicker than the minimum speed requirement!) What I am planning is replace hardware, install Windows 10 and then do free upgrade to 11...

I have a PC, currently running Windows 10 that is not suitable to upgrade to Windows 11 as the CPU is not supported. My plan is to replace the motherboard, CPU and RAM to something that is Windows 11 compatible. What is the best way to get Windows 11 without paying anything.....do I have to...

Good question! I think it was an option in the Settings, Devices page

I am trying to setup a laptop to connect to a Sony TV by using Screen Mirroring. I followed instructions I found online and got it to work by "Adding a device". This is fine. Then, I wanted to see how it would work next time I tried it so I disconnected, went back into Settings, Devices and...

All done! Remarkably easy and much quicker than I expected. System back up and running and seems tickety-boo :) Thanks to everyone who helped.
