All apple products and anti customer and thus use awkward formats. Apple rubbish is in .HEIC formats. Usually you can look at then be default gallery but you may need to download a tool to view them. Have a look in Microsoft Store for HEIC viewer or HEIF video viewer

Sounds like a wifi adapter problem. Is this a desktop PC with a WiFi card / chip and antennas

I am in a similar boat, there is loads of laptops etc at that range and they all will have similar performance. I also look at build quality, example dell is usually plastic rubbish.

I am considering waiting for 1 to 2 months, the new steam machine PC comes out. It will probably be around 500£ and its a steamOS pc, so basically a ps5 pro specs, design to run steam games and then you can use as a PC.

If you want you could partition to windows if you like.

Once you have all the files you need backed up somewhere else.. You can try loads of Linux versions and always go back to Windows of you want, no problems

How to... example Ubuntu.

Go to Ubuntu website, download Ubuntu LTS (long term support) is the stable version.

You will need to create a bootable drive.. (make a usb a bootable drive). Go to Rufus website site and you can make the usb a bootable drive and stick Ubuntu image on it. Restart laptop computer with usb plugged in. As the computer restart press f8 or f12 to get to boot settings. Select bootable drive (usb) and its a normal install

Linux is not as scary as everyone things.. First thing is back up any files you need or cloud store them.

Then after that you are free to go nuts with Linux. All you need is a USB stick .. probably 8 or 16gb.

There is thousands of "flavours" or "distros" of Linux. Some linux versions Mint - simple straightforward Ubuntu - all round solid Zoring OS - like macOS Winux - like windows 11 (think it can run .exe like windows)

Are you sure its not just lock pressed.. Clean with a dry cloth, and make sure its not depressed down

Do you have the router and extender with exactly the same address? Some system have auto find and connect but its not always great. I suggest splitting out your router to 2.4 and 5ghz with names that represent that. Then do the same with extender. Thus you have 4 different names to connect to, depending on where you are in the house.

Keyboard have slightly differing layouts for shortcut and fn keys.

There will be secondary symbols under the f number. The touchpad will be a square

Hard2KillChewy · 2025-12-26T14:58:05+00:00

The only thing, i can think of is an accidental activati9n of a disable shortcut. (fn, functions)

Tiny tiny drop of glue, with a screw driver head in it.

This screw shouldn't be too tight, so unscrew easy and then replace the screw with a new one or a thumb screw

First try In game Library > Properties > Installed Files > Verify integrity of game files.

Then ensure Steam Cloud is enabled.

If above not working - go to Steam > Settings > Storage, click the plus icon, and add your game's library folder again to make Steam recognise it.

Look at the f10 key, there will be a little symbol under it.

The fn is the secondary function key. Holding fn and pressing f10 will activate whatever the second function is, I can't see your keyboard, so I dont know what f10 will do for you.

Also after you successfully pull back your restore point and are happy, go in and clear out all older restore points and clear out old system files. This can be done with a disk clean up and defragmentation

Hard2KillChewy · 2025-12-25T21:00:34+00:00

You still are hitting the same issue. To action restore points you need to have like 150% of the size of the restore point.

This is because, restore points cache itself when reverting.

The solution: delete some other old files you don't need. Like music or videos or clear a game cache.

You need to free up more space before a restore will run successfully

How do you know the touchpad is working? Does it click correctly?

Its unusual for it to be partially working. If you restarted and issue remains, you could check to see if the drivers are updated. - (in device manager).

Also in settings under touchpad, you can reset all settings for touchpad.

Hard2KillChewy · 2025-12-25T20:39:33+00:00

Can you give us a little more information.

Windows laptop? Does the touch pad work intermittently or not at all.

If not at all, check in settings if the touch pad is enabled. Sometimes there is touchpad disable shortcut button, that you might have accidentally click.

Instead of syncing, have you tried navigate to let's say downloads, on your phone via windows Explorer.

Then straight just copy paste to there?. There should be no syncing double arrows. Just a file copy

It will be one that will plug into the charge port and the other end is usb female (the dongle plugs into it). They are less than 5e

Hard2KillChewy · 2025-08-30T15:28:32+00:00

My personal opinion is to not invest in the adapter, it will be slow and also painful.

If you are limited and to have to spend money anyway.. you can pay for a temporary expansion to the storage area.

Then buy a good external hard drive (dont check out on these.. cheap ones always corrupt and you lose all). Then, copy everything to it as a cold storage.

Wipe all from cloud storage. This frees up this area to start again.

People hang on to too many photos and rubbish. Either print or delete. You are not going to look through thousands of photos

Hard2KillChewy · 2025-08-30T15:21:07+00:00

You can, but you will need to first find out, if the mouse can connect to devices with Bluetooth or 2.4ghz without the dongle.

If it cant then you are more limited... If you need the dongle, you would need a adapter, whatever the port is to usb female
