    Please help me confirm/find compatible RAM sticks with my HP Pavilion Desktop.

    Problem with bt headset marvo hg9066w

    Sounds like the dongle isn’t audio/microphone compatible. Which adapter did you buy?

    Problem with bt headset marvo hg9066w

    Does the microphone appear under sound settings? Does the microphone work when wired? If it fits into the same connector then ensure it is fully inserted.

    In which section do you post a question about Facebook?

    I’d probably post under Internet & email if it’s the browser version or Software if it’s an app/program version.

    Mouse lagging

    Is the mouse wired or wireless? Have you checked for any updated drivers to the USB ports? Did you insert the mouse into the same ports as it was before?

    i need help

    Most likely the key is on the original owner’s Microsoft account. If they don’t have it or refuse to give it to you then the only option is to clean install Windows.

    New Dell Laptop - Windows 11

    There should be an option on the sign in screen to change to a password - underneath the PIN/password box there should be a link to make the options show. Also once signed in you should be able to disable the PIN by deleting this sign in option. You’d still need to confirm via PIN when changing...

I tried moving over to Hello (PIN/Fingerprint) only but had read stories of people being locked out of their pc after their PIN failed so turned password back on. Facial recognition will require an infra...

    Deselect Only allow Windows Hello to sign in on this computer? This will give you the option to set up a password again for the account - it isn’t possible to reuse the previous password. https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/configure-windows-hello-dae28983-8242-bb2a-d3d1-87c9d265a5f0
