Thanks, your recommendation actually worked. Although i did not dissemble the pc, i used air from my mouth to blow air on the affected keys and everything is working fine. I will find time to dissemble the laptop for complete maintenance.

Much to my chagrin of haven't yet received the anniversary update on my pc, I opted to using a Microsoft upgrade assistant to install the AU. Due to power issues, the update process reached 100% mark after three days. Then when it was time for the assistant to check d download and subsequently, install the update, it started the download afresh! Out of anger of loss of so much browsing data, I terminated the download. I had to go thru the normal windows update system to check for updates.

After the cumulative updates for build 10586 finished installing, I was notified of Anniversary update availability! So I hit the 'update' button to initiate the process. Took two days to get to the 100% mark. When it was time to install the update, I received an error msg, which showed a retry button. As I clicked 'retry' to retry d installation, the download process started afresh! Over 6GB & time have just been wasted.

@computerboy and other experienced gurus, how do I successfully update my pc? I don suffer for this AU hand...

Dude, a used iphone 6 sells for 110k or lower. Yours is even 16gb. Smh. Good luck finding a buyer

Normally to transfer large files from one laptop to another, we usually first copy it into an external hard drive or a USB flash drive and then paste it to the second laptop. The problem with this process is that it is time wasting and may be repeated several times depending on the size of the files.

Those of us that did CompTIA N+ (Networking basics), we usually connect both laptops using:
a. hub/switch/router
b. cross-over ethernet cable
c. creating wireless adhoc network

The problem with this method is that it requires a lot of configurations (changing workgroup, ip address, etc) and you may not have the required devices handy when you need to do the networking.

A tech analyst from Techradar once said that the average smartphone user only uses 30% of the phone's features before discarding it so today I'm going to show you a very simple way to connect two laptops with your smartphone in less than 5 minutes and share files directly from laptop A to laptop B.

1. First of all, turn off your mobile data. We don't need it here and putting it on will be at your risk because the two computers will zap your data at the same time.

2. Turn on your smartphone WiFi Hotspot (Name it if you haven't)

3. Turn on the WiFi on both laptops and search for your phone's Hotspot. Then connect. (if it ask you about devices sharing, click in affirmative)

4. After both laptops are connected, open your windows file explorer and click on "Network" in the left pane. You should be able to see the connected laptops including yours. (Any laptop that's not showing, go to that laptop and navigate to network discovery then turn it on)

5. You can now access files from the shared folder of all connected laptops. By default only the "public user" folder is shared. You can always share any folder you want. (if it's asking for username/password, either put them or turn password request off in network settings in the control panel)

6. Now you can share files easily. It might be a little hard setting up the first time but after the first, you'll be setting it up in less than 3 minutes. Also it doesn't take much of your phone battery. I've sent up to 75gb files and lost only 11% battery

So that is it. Also note that:
a. If you're sending a small file (less than 2gb), you don't need to set up this process. Just normal usage of flash drive will serve
b. The above procedure can equally work for a desktop provided it's wireless enabled.
c. If you're savvy enough, you can share other devices like printers and scanners using same method
d. You can connect more than two laptops
and share files simultaneously
e. The limit of laptops/PCs you can connect at the same time depends on your smartphone. Some phones can allow up to 20. Others may just allow 5. (Check that in your Hotspot settings)
