I have a 2018 version Mac Mini with an Intel chipset. Would it be possible to install Windows without any sort of boot loader program like bootcamp? I would like to turn it into a media server for my network.

I hope someone can help with this it is taking up so much time to try and resolve. I have Office 365 and use Outlook for my email, all has been well for a couple of years, I get regular updates from MS. About 10 days ago I found that: a/ all the sub folders under my Inbox folder had disappeared although they still exist in my BTmail if I access through a browser. b/ I can not delete any emails, (within Outlook) If I try I get "The operation cannot be performed because the object has been deleted" It could well be a self inflicted issue as I was trying to get Outlook onto my new mobile phone (unsuccessfully) but can not be sure of the timeline. Thanks in …

My desktop updated today and now Windows has added, without my permission, "News and Interests" :mad: Is there a way to completely uninstall this unwanted crap that's clogging up my PC? All I can see is way to disable it, which I've done.

Save yourself from bugs and other issues and skip the unofficial version. An unfinished build of what is assumed to be Windows 11 leaked online, and people are installing it. Based on early impressions, it looks like Windows users are in for a big overhaul: Screenshots show off an all-new macOS-like desktop layout, a redesigned Windows Explorer interface, new Start menus, and some of the best built-in wallpapers Windows has ever had. Some folks are excited by the changes, others not so much, but it’s safe to say everyone’s at least curious about Microsoft’s still technically unannounced operating system (it’s assumed the upcoming Sun Valley Windows 10 update wil…

Although Google Chrome (Version 90.0.4430.212) has no problem opening it, Microsoft Edge (Version 90.0.818.66) refuses to land on the website: unrealengine.com. It maintains a blank screen while perpetually trying to load the homepage every 0.5 seconds. At the bottom of the browser window, the following messages keep cycling through: Waiting for cache... Waiting for clientstream.launchdarkly.com... Waiting for tracking.unrealengine.com... When I type in the URL unrealengine.com and hit return, the URL automatically switches to unrealengine.com/id/logout?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.unrealengine.com%2F . If you inspect the code, you'll see that three separate scri…

Sorry if some of this seems dumb - I am completely new to tablets, I did some research but am astonished at how difficult it is to get precise information. I bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 and inserted a new Asda Mobile SIM (may be the wrong one - should probably have been one meant specifically for Mobile Broadband?). The network is listed in the Settings and the tablet works fine off my Sky Broadband hub, but of course I also want to connect to 4G at times, so I need to add some credit. I have a hearing disability and have difficulty using phones - but the Asda Mobile website (and the info pack which came with the SIM) indicate that the only way to register a debi…

Hello, I have an HP dl360 Gen 7 server with windows server 2016 essentials. I am using the ASUS AC68U router with Merlin Firmware. The main use for the server is a plex server. What I am trying to achieve is I wish to connect only certain web interfaces OR just my server to an external VPN like purevpn. Is there a way so that my server can be behind the VPN and my computer's Xbox smart devices and phones are not. thank you

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I've been using OpenDNS for years, I have a free account and have it set to block things I don't want - had it before they started Family Safe. Today when I started my PC I couldn't connect to anything online. My wifi was working fine, checked it with my phone and iPad. Windows said it was connected and had internet. After an hour of head scratching I changed the DNS settings from OpenDNS to the Google ones (8.8.8.8/8.8.4.4) and things are working fine. I haven't been able to find anything online about problems with OpenDNS. Just wondering if anyone else is having problems and if anyone can recommend and alternative to Open…

I bought a Dell laptop a few years back and the performance has never been good. Now it is consitently appaling. I have restored the pc to factory settings and the amount of data is pretty small. I have snapped below the laptop details. and a snap of the task manager showing the terrible performance - 100% disk is usual. Any ideas welcomed...or should I just throw it out of the window?
