Topic Wiki

I figured that even this thread can have a wiki.
If your computer or phone is giving you issues:

• Please read this before posting: 4 Reasons Why IT People Ignore Your Requests for Help
• Restart the computer. Hopefully this will take care of any issues
• If your problem has not yet been solved, try to Google it. There may be a very simple solution
• On a Windows computer, a system restore may do the trick.
(This is a work in progress, please feel free to add whatever you may feel is helpful)


Please post whether or not the problem was fixed

By the way you can use the hard drive that came with the computer as an external hard drive. There are enclosures you can buy for ~$10.

There is an option in settings to reset the computer. There are 2 options: Either you can remove all programs/settings and files but keep windows, or you can keep windows and files but delete all programs/settings.

ETA: Assuming you have Windows 8 or above..

Oh. That complicates things a bit. You can use the disk that came with the computer, but that would keep all programs that came with the computer and remove everything else. Or you can use a win7 disk, and that would delete everything and give you a fresh install of windows.
