“How do I delete old users from a Windows 10 computer? I log in as an administrator, navigate to c:\Users\, and delete their tree.” NO! In fact, HELL NO!

We love the device... the only complaint we have is that the battery doesn't last very long. That quote is from Theresa, and the device she is referring to is her new HP Stream 7 that I picked up for her and our younger son (see article). I was surprised, because the promotional material for the Stream... Continue Reading →
