If you turn cortana off you get the option to replace the cortana search box (on the taskbar) with a magnifying glass symbol. Clicking that symbol opens the dialogue box into which you can start typing. That's how I have it set up - like this...

If you click on the start button, then start typing, it will bring up a list of options. It's like run without the text box

Hi Guys, looking if I can get a definitive answer on this before I start wasting my time if it's not possible. Last year I bought a laptop with Windows 8 preinstalled. I logged in once to see what it was like then immediately installed Ubuntu (which is what I intended to do from the start) I...

TBH once they are in you won't know the difference. If you would be happier going with the one you've been recommended or think it will be easier to install choose that one.

Have you looked at the Samsung 850 EVO? £115 and very highly regarded. It doesn't come with the adapter but not sure what you would use the included adapter for anyway, I think you'll still need to buy a 2.5" to 3.5" adapter tray to mount the drive in the case.

I just swapped an HDD for a Samsung SSD. When researching the Samsung Data Migration Software seemed to get good reviews. I didn't use it but it does exactly what you want. If you are happy hooking up an additional drive to your machine I would give it a go.

Why would it be bad - dragging the dirt across the paintwork?

Most 'unintended' use of .org.uk comes from a few years ago when Google gave priority in the search engines to exact match domains. People set them all up as their websites addresses and company names hoping to get a boost in the Google results. Now that's not the case but people are still stuck...

No it's not. It's often used my them but anyone can register and use one for any purpose. Infact the .me.uk and .ltd.uk are the only ones with restrictions on registration, where they can only be registered to a person, or the corresponding company, respectively.

Didn't know that. Apple really have got everything sewn up (soldered on) to make the most £££ per purchase.

If you search the guy's name it seems he was actually 'in trouble' for growing cannabis, dealing cocaine and laundering money. I'm sure the prison sentence is more to do with that than the speeding.

Have you found the 1/1000 shutter speed to be limiting at all Terry?

Looks to be £600 which is more than I want to spend really. I didn't mind the S110 but would prefer a viewfinder and something a bit chunkier to get hold of. I went to my local Currys last night but they didn't have either in stock. I'm favouring the X30 so I ordered one from Amazon to have a...

Hi everyone, I sold my DSLR stuff a couple of months back and now want to get something quite compact to take out with me. I used to have a Canon S110 but my GF seems to have claimed that as her own now so buying something new and a little bit bigger. I have looked at quite a few and seem to...
