AskWoody LoungerOn Pro you can remove suggestions by going to Settings | Personalization | Start then set “Occasionally show suggestions on Start” to OFF. Isn’t that available on Home?
It is on my Win 10 Home AU edition and I have it set to off.

AskWoody LoungerJuly 23, 2016 at 12:19 pm in reply to: “Locking in” the free Windows 10 upgrade and retaining my old Windows version. #1571373Sorry, not very well explained was it?
I had intended to put the image on d.v.d.s, but since trying I have wondered if my external hard drive might be a better option.
No response yet from the Acronis forum, so I tried a free version of Macrium.
Again, it’s written for people with quite a bit of previous knowledge so I’m no better off.
The Macrium screen shows several things on my C drive and I have no idea which of them are required for a disc image.
I replied to your post in the Acronis Forum https://forum.acronis.com/forum/122715 as did another person.

AskWoody LoungerMarch 22, 2016 at 10:19 pm in reply to: How to get a Libre Office document to open as the active window in the foreground #1557004I don’t see that issue with LO 5.1 on Windows 10. Right clicking and selecting Open works as does double clicking the file. In both cases the LO spreadsheet opens with the focus.

AskWoody LoungerI have had this issue since I installed Win 10. I too am only able to make a recovery drive by unchecking the box to copy system files. I use a 16GB flash drive and tried more than one.

AskWoody LoungerImgburn http://www.winxdvd.com/resource/download-imgburn-free.htm mentioned in the link by Sudo15 is free and has no PUPs. You can avoid installing anything bundled with any free software by doing a custom install. And yes my Windows 10 has the right click “Burn Disc Image”.
