I'm getting into web design, and when I try to open an existing, unfinished html file to work on it from notepad, there is no "open with" option. I work from a toshiba satellite l755-s5153. I don't know if there's something different with this model where it's not meant for web design (I've only recently started coding, whereas I've had the computer for 2 years). Basically, with the current process I'd have to go through to finish a page that takes longer than a day is to open the existing file, copy the page source, paste it into a new notepad, and start again.

You could try changing the extension from .html to .txt and then do a "Save As" when you are finished and save the file with the .html extension.
The missing "Open with" option has nothing to do with it being a Toshiba laptop. That laptop should handle web design as well as any other computer. This is an "Open with" problem.

Might I suggest this free HTML/CSS editor, CoffeeCup: http://www.coffeecup.com/html-editor/. I've used it for a few weeks now and haven't found any faults. This would be a good choice for going into web design/development. Hope this helps.
