Langalist: Remove vendor-installed junkware, vet “Update needed” and booting a Virtual PC

Posted on May 13th, 2019 at 02:41 woody Comment on the AskWoody Lounge

Fred continues his LangaList streak, tackling three subjects:
- How to uninstall pre-installed junk on a Win10 PC
- Is that “Security update needed” popup bogus?
- Can you use a Virtual PC to boot your computer?
Interesting questions. Insightful answers.

Out this morning in the AskWoody Plus Newsletter 16.17.0, delivered free to all Plus members.
