MS Office 2010 will no longer activate
I have two licences for MS Office 2010 and it's only being used on one laptop. I'm perfectly happy with this version of office and don't feel the need to upgrade. But it won't install on a new desktop pc on the basis that it has been used the maximum number of times under the licence - this is untrue. I thought I could use…

Passport photo at home

I need to take a passport photo (for an actual passport) digitally at home but I do not have a suitable plain background.

Locate and wipe Android. Family link?
Guys, I've had a couple of incidents recently where I have lost my phone. Fortunately on both occasions it was either handed in or found. Both have taught me that I need a plan in place should I lose it again and am unable to find it. (Fingers crossed it'll never be needed!). I can see from my laptop I can be logged into…

Thoughts on suitable laptop
Hi. I have an Asus ZenBook at the moment, purchased probably about 4 years ago. Lovely touchscreen, fairly decent / good visual quality, great to use most of the time.

I am wondering what to do with a very old GX620 desktop PC? It has 1gb of Ram and a Pentium processor running at 3.2ghz.
