Having Purchased A New Laptop

[emmie]

which will come with a 1 year warranty presumably, should i take out extra insurance with PC World for this time. What does a 1 year warranty mean in real terms for example if it goes wrong within the year do they simply replace it. Any help would be most welcome

[ummmm]

Bednobs...my friend has just had hers cleaned £130.

I'm thankful I have a pyrolytic oven. I just have to sweep it after the clean.

[emmie]

seeing as i haven't had a new computer since 2007,
will i have to install a browser, perhaps its a stupid question, but once the new laptop arrives later today, i need to know, if so which one...firefox, chrome..

[emmie]

or does it come already installed. I am not the brightest spark where computers are concerned.

[aelmpvw]

i'm guessing it will have edge browser preinstalled

[barry1010]

It will come with Edge (I very much like this latest version of Edge) but just download your favourite browser. Which one do you use now?

[emmie]

firefox but i have loads of problems with it..

[barry1010]

See how you get on with Edge. I also like Opera. Firefox might be trouble free on your new laptop so try that, too. I probably have 15 or more browsers installed on my PC as I like to try them out.

having to use old laptop for the minute, can't remember some saved passwords, . so not happy bunny currently.
can't log into online banking with new laptop.
as i can't remember the passcode. very frustrating..

Does your laptop not store a list of your passwords? If not log in to your account and use “forgotten password” option. Keep a list of all your passwords somewhere safe in case you lose your data

[SlackAlice]

If your using Firefox, you can view your saved log-ins, write them down and use them on the new laptop.

[Jackdaw33]

Always keep a written record of all your IDs and passwords. This may seem old-fashioned but pen and paper still have their uses.

[emmie]

got this to work, its strange and new.
now if anyone can tell me the AdBlock that was used

[Jackdaw33]

Ad Block Plus. I told you how to download and install it from Google yesterday.

emmie, i use firefox and have an account with them, i sync my favourite websites urls etc, and it remembers my logins, so i never have to put in passwords again, just a thought or next time.

[fender62]

sorry i should have added, once you have firefx setup, to sync, remember the password for the firefox account, writes it down.
then when you have a new laptop, reinstall firefox, go to account, sighn back in, then all you favourites are back, with all the login details.
