    I've been using smplayer in addition to vlc. I find its ui better than vlc. I also use system ninja to clean up unwanted files; I run it weekly and find tens of thousand that can be deleted. I also use freefilesync to backup multiplee data sets nightly. I use firefox, nut I find that more than a few web sites simply don't work with it so I have to use edge instead. Thanks for your list.

    I am a fan of LibreOffice and used it for years, but unfortunately it is not a cross-platform program with Android. I write both on Windows and on an Android tablet. LibreOffice only has a read function on Android and very limited write function. When I started cross-platform writing, I had to switch to Office 365, much to my disgust. I am hoping that the volunteers at LibreOffice will have time to work more on the Android version. If you only write on Windows, LibreOffice is definitely the thing to use.

    Second comment. Are you a Linux user? I'm thinkin of making the switch, here in a couple of months, because my machines are getting old. I'm down to 2 modern ones and 2 oldies-but-goodies. Only one of my "modern" ones is compatible with windows 11. I'm thinking of switching all except one of them to a Mint flavor and then dual booting my newest machine. I am only vaguely familiar with Linux, having tried it on a system 18 years ago. I wasn't impressed back then, but it seems to have come a long way since then. Perhaps it's time. Are you a Linux user?

    I just received a Lenovo Windows 11 Pro laptop and your method does not work. Specifically non of the key combos CTRL F10, SHIFT F10 or CTRL SHIFT F10 bring up the CMD prompt. Any suggestions?

    • @RayKnowsTech
      @RayKnowsTech วันที่ผ่านมา

      Try FN+SHIFT+F10 some laptops require that. To clarify, the method works but something in your system is preventing you from bringing up the command prompt. My first question would be Is this a brand new laptop and this is the first setup? I usually only see this for Windows S mode. You can also try disabling secure boot then start the setup and use the FN+SHIFT+F10 or SHIFT+F10

    • @RayKnowsTech
      @RayKnowsTech วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hi, You only need to boot from the USB drive if you are doing a clean install, by doing a clean install you will be removing windows 10, so you will not be using it. To do an upgrade from 10 to 11, you dont need to boot from the USB drive just follow the instructions in the video. Hope that helps.

    Could you elaborate a bit about the chrome remote desktop? Maybe show a little bit of what you can do with it? Will it work with a mobile device? Can you connect to somebody else and trouble shoot their android device, for example? And I have no way to test Google Meet and and Google Voice - could you do a very basic video about them, too? That would be great. (Please note: I do not demand anything - I just note my questions. If you can/ want to do a video about it: great.If not: great.)

      Hi, for Remote desktop, yes you can connect to a mobile device and trouble shoot someone else's device. I may do a future video comparing a couple of remote options and will include this one. Google Meet and Voice don't require any kind of setup since they are web based. Check out their websites directly, there are some good tutorials available. I will add your request to my future project list. Thank you!

    Hi Ray. Thanks very much for the video and the info. Like watching the vids that you put up. I'd ask if you could PLEASE just dump the background music track. Not needed an SSSOOOO annoying. Gets in the way of listening to what you are saying and got to the point where I was close to exiting from watching halfway through.

      Hi, I addressed this in the Pinned comment. These first few videos from when I started TH-cam were a learning curve. I no longer have the volume this high in my content but unfortunately you cant go back and adjust videos already uploaded. The only option is to delete them and start over, and doing that I would lose the metrics and engagement. I appreciate your support and this has been addressed in my more recent content. Thank you!

    Very useful video - thanks for creating it. Would just mention that having to listen to the background music was really annoying - would rather listen to you

      Don't forget PC Manager, Revo, and Bitdefender, also not Linux. This is all covered in the video. Thank you!

    Great source of knowledge,- very much appreciated 😇 Any idea why my laptop blocks Stirling - it reported a concern before downloading and now refuses to initialise ( 80% block). Redownloaded twice to no avail so must be a security setting in W10?

      @GeorgyGoogle Hey! So they have completely changed Stirling since I created the video. Previously it was just a web portal for Windows users but now there an executable you have to download and run . So I did, and also got an error at 90% initializing. SO, I went to the developer's site and this is a bug reported this week, thought to be related to Anti-virus/Firewall in Windows as it does not affect everyone. I was able to download and run the "Test" release version and it runs fine. The developer has notes that states they will have a bug fix in the upcoming release this week or next. Thank you for pointing this out!

      @@RayKnowsTech Thanks very much for you reply from sun drenched Brisbane. Hubbie now placated. I wanted to comment on Proton- turns out you have to upgrade to gain anything other than what i already have via Brave and ghostery. eg BBC TV shows. ditto the email and drive so not the free lunch I would like. Will keep watching your shows to continue my illusion of a free lunch 🍲 😎

    Again you say it’s free but they want to charge you for the two different levels for the program seems like a scam your publishing like the other VPN program

    • @RayKnowsTech
      @RayKnowsTech 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I'm not sure what you are referring to. I've Only reviewed one VPN program, and it has a free version. It also has a paid version. There is no benefit to me. I'm not affiliated with the software so I do not appreciate being told I am publishing a scam. Thanks

    You say it’s free but when I activate it it won’t let you unless you pay to upgrade????

      Then You are doing something wrong. I use the free version daily. Watch the full setup video on my channel and follow the directions. Thank you
