Suggestions for laptop with Microsoft Office
Do you have any recommendations for a good reasonably priced laptop which has Microsoft Office installed just for everyday general use? Or do laptops not come with Office these days? I am looking for one brand new, reasonably priced under £300 laptop (not refurbished). I believe 8GB ram is ideal? Thank you

Passkeys
Recently Microsoft enabled Windows 11 users to use Passkeys as a means of doing away with the tyranny of the password & constant resetting passwords & at the same time improving security of the "logging in" process by using Biometric access to Passkeys.

Why does using a VPN stop sites from loading?
OK to give a bit more detail there I'm specifically talking about nordvpn paid for. Yep, not any free version. Anyway, I'll open Nord, quick connect which always connects me to a UK VPN.

Can you sort your Facebook settings to stop friends seeing posts on groups?
Apart from the obvious - get rid of <friend> or remove Facebook etc. So I get that private groups your friends list wont see your comments within said group.
