The devices are not shown in File Manager (Explorer speak). Thankfully, most memory sticks are seen, albeit with shadows (i.e. if a stick is inserted and takes the ID of, say, F: I will get two instances of it. This can have consequences for data integrity..


I have endless e-mails, (approaching 50 odd) asking me to explain the problems (warranty countdown). You would think they would just take remote control and go through the issue process themselves. But oh no! Send it back to us. Sigh......I know what that means. Won't see it for yonks and it will still be the same on return. :-(


Edge is Cortana with a new front end. Junk it. And Pocket and 365 subscription. Microsoft do all this to lock out any competition. I wish I had asked Dell to load the Linux option instead but I needed to "upgrade" my Windows knowledge (post Win98se). I use FF, AVG and Ublock Origin.
