When I changed my computer back from W10 this last time, instead of forcing updates, I just let it get what it wanted to over a period of a day or two. The results were that all of them actually worked just fine which was certainly not the result when I manually did update checks and tried...

A followup. Whatever was embedded in the previous install that caused the incessant duplication is gone now. Fresh, 'virginal' install fixed whatever was broken.

I'm having a fit with one of my computers causing OneNote links on OneDrive to duplicate themselves. I kept noticing these duplicate links on my OneDrive and fiddled around this morning deleting all of them using my HP desktop. Stopped syncing long enough to delete them both in the local and...

In the official MS support forums, the moderators more often than not, are the ones with answers. Most of the time, their answers are very good, but sometimes it seems they didn't understand the question. Quite similar to my experience with chat/phone MS support.

If you installed the WD software, check it to see if it is doing some incremental backup of some sort. I have the same drive and have noticed that too.

This is just about syncing in general. 1. Outlook doesn't sync imp folders with Apple's iCloud. I've got the iCloud support stuff installed and on one computer it finally sync'd all the imap folders I've built up over the years, but on the other 2 no joy. Some are there, some are not with...

While the minimum might be $6.99/month if you get a month-to-month subscription, the yearly Office365 Personal for one user/computer sells for about $45/year if you shop around. IOW, a basic steal!

No catch involved. It is a marketing move to enhance the perceived value of Office365. Do you actually think there will be very many that would fill the 1Tb that we get now?

Even if you didn't want to use a single Office application, this is a steal!!

Maybe not. If you have one of the Home versions, you don't use that Office365 login crap on the phone at all. Open it and then swipe to the side and you should be able to see your documents. I don't know how long I fought over that when I got my HTC One (M8) Windows phone. That login is...

My Office365 Home Premium subscription was up for renewal so I got the Military Appreciation version which is just a repriced Home Premium. Went to my account at office.microsoft.com to do it with IE from Windows 8.1. Scrolled down to use a product key. After entering the product key, was...

You're welcome. Anything to try to keep the wives happy is a good thing!! :)

I don't think that arrow is there on Win 8 machines. If it is touch machine, just swipe up on the screen from a blank spot on the metro screen should do it.

I'm retired also, have been for about 10 years. I mostly use just Excel and Outlook with a smattering of Word thrown in now and then. I love the cloud storage! All my data will fit on any of my devices and the cloud just fine. And that means that if I have to re-install or otherwise put data...

If you need/want what Outlook has to offer, I don't know of a product free or otherwise, that is so good at it. Think about Office365. The personal one user-one computer version can be had on Amazon for less than $50/year. Includes all of Office 2013, 1Tb of cloud storage and I thinks...
