New On At Home Computer Guides
Over the last week or so I’ve been looking at how you could use an old computer as a virtual machine on a new PC. Windows 10 is coming to the end of its support cycle and a lot of people will be buying new Windows 11 computers.
Changing computers always creates a lot of work and hassle, installing applications, transferring files, logging in to online accounts etc. There’s always something that you’re going to forget or have problems with.
So why not take your old PC with you, transfer it, lock, stock and barrel, as a VM to run on the new computer. Ready to fire up at a moments notice. You’ll have all the data and apps and saved passwords etc.
At Home Computer Security Guides
You can’t afford to be complacent about computer security. A false sense of security is dangerous, and just because you haven’t been a victim of a cyberattack yet doesn’t mean you’re immune. The aftermath of an attack can be a huge hassle, and on your home computer, you’re on your own.
Protecting your computer and your data is crucial, and it’s up to you to take the necessary steps to stay safe.
The Internet
For many of us, the internet is no longer just a feature of our computers, it’s the very reason we own one.
Our devices have become portals to an interconnected world that has fundamentally reshaped every aspect of our lives. From the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep, we are plugged in, connected.
Our work, our education, our social lives, and even our most mundane errands are all now managed online.
These guides will help you get the most out of the ‘net on your home computer.
Email Guides
It’s undeniable that email is woven into the fabric of modern life. From shopping to appointments, it’s often the key to getting things done. But let’s be honest, not everyone finds email intuitive.
If you feel overwhelmed by email, these home computer guides are here to help you navigate it with confidence.
Virtual Machine Guides
A virtual machine (VM) is a software-based emulation of a physical computer. It’s a “computer within a computer” that can run its own operating system (OS) and applications, all while being completely isolated from the host machine’s OS.
The physical computer is called the host, and the virtual computer is called the guest.
You can have an old Windows XP or 7 VM on your brand new Windows 11 computer. Try out Windows 11 on a Windows 10 PC. Or maybe try out Linux.
And the best part is that they’re free to create.
Stay Informed. Stay In Touch.
