Please i want to upgrade to Windows 10, but don't know whether the battery consumption problem has been resolved
Some had problem with battery while others didn't, I was among the ones who had battery problem and it has not been rectified.
I will advise you to dual boot windows 10 with your current windows and if you are satisfied with the performance, you can go to disk management and delete your older windows partition, leaving only windows 10

done sir. I I also find out I can't reduce my screen brightness
Your problem is simple, you just didn't install a display driver. The one there is the default one windows installed for you. Your options:
1. If you have a driver pack solution, use it to install the driver
2. Go to windows update and update your driver. Once you check for updates, you'll see it there
3. Update from device manager
4. Go to the manufacturer's website and download it
ComputersRe: Using Excel Spreadsheet... Help Needed! by computerboy: 7:24pm On Mar 03, 2016

I need help on this people.

I have an excel spreadsheet documents that contains some details... Marketing leads to be precise and there are certain numbers (glo numbers) alone that I need to extract. I have been able to select them but I can't seem to copy or export these details. Anyone in the house who has a better understanding please? Thanks.
The problem might be where you want to copy it to, to successfully paste a copied excel content, the new destination must have the same rows and columns as the source. but a screenshot would be better

after i installed windows 10, my pc dedicated video memory went down to zero from 64.
This usually happens after a windows or driver upgrade. It doesn't mean that your vram is any lesser, it's just not showing but then Open device manager and expand "display adapters" then give me a screenshot

Help my windows is suddenly very slow since i last connected to the internet with it. I use an AMD system, Normally when something like this happen i just have to uninstall my graphic driver update and install the older version. But this is an entirely new problem, Noting is virtually responding. I manage to start up Tast manger after waiting for 30 minutes! Yes 30 minutes. I can't screen shot and send the image here cause it may take another year to process that. What could be the problem, I have already manage to uninstall graphic driver.

It is suddenly not responding again and one white screen so i can't snap what the Task manager is saying. But when i take a quick look at it one of the options are at 100%. like disk space.
could have been that you've downloaded a script virus
could be low hard disk space
could be a malfunctioning driver
could be an incompatible app

start by booting into safe mood and check your hard disk space

My phone Pavilion g6 fell off the stool, made a continuous clicking sound then I shut it down. When I tried to boot it, with Windows refuse to load. I just see a black screen.
Thanks in anticipation of your response.
My dear your memory(RAM) shifted from it's slot when your laptop fell and needs resitting. That's all. Just loose the small cover (covering your hard drive) under your laptop and remove the RAM then put it back or take it to a professional and tell him to do what I just said...I ain't guessing

@computerboy Where can I get the windows 10 to download.
1. My PC's original specifications are Windows 7 ultimate, 4gig ram, over 400gig hard drive, Dell core i3, processor 2.3GHz.

Won't this not be a bit backward for windows 10. I mean won't there be setbacks like drivers problem, FRAMEWORK.Net, DLL or graphic card issues
Your pc specs are ok but you'll experience problem with some drivers mainly display driver but once you do windows update, every thing would be rectified. You can go ahead and download it from the link below

Eclement:
It's Compaq
I suspect you have been installing an incompatible driver. I'd suggest you use "driverpack solution" if you have the data to download it else continue searching till you get the right one.

PS: Anytime you update (or clean install) your windows, always know that the display driver will be replaced by Microsoft basic adapter and you'll need to update in order to get rid of the ugly screen or before you can use any graphics demanding app

Demichaels:
my church recently acquired a projector and i have been doing the presentation. everyone seems to love how entertaining my presentation has been having received many accolades. however, i need to improve. presently, i use only powerpoint and easy worship. please, gurus in the house recommend software with wonderful animations that i can incorporate in the presentation so as to add more colour to it. i have searched and downloaded many apps but non seem to be better than powerpoint and easy worship.

please, help
PowerPoint has historically been the runaway leader in the presentation software market - and, indeed, still is. Well, there are still other options like Prezi, Keynote, ClearSlide but they might be costlier than PowerPoint

If he burnt an iso file unto his hard disk, It would still work, if he transfers back to pen drive.
Yeah. ...it's all about making it Bootable. He could have just installed the iso like an application tho to save stress. Just that i don't want to start another lecture on how to mount an iso file.

Thank you so much! I will let you know how it goes
It won't work. You have to make it Bootable. Search & Download "Rufus" software then use it to burn the iso file into the flash drive

Windows 10 currently have issues with battery life in some laptops which Microsoft and Intel are working to fix. Unless you're not concerned about battery life, I'll advice you wait

just uninstalled avg 2011,and same thing **dries tears**
My guy its definitely an app that blocking the update. Make sure you've removed all antiviruses then do a clean boot.
To do a clean boot, follow this

1) Click the START button.

2) Type in msconfig into the Search and open it.

3) Dot the circle in front of Selective startup (if it's not dotted already)

4) Click the Services tab.

5)Check the "Hide all Microsoft Services" box then Click Disable all.

6)Click the Startup tab and open task manager then disable all as well. Close task manager

5) Click APPLY then OK and reboot your computer when prompted. When your computer reboots, do not enable anything if you are asked.

Now try updating it. Also make sure you are using CD to update

Having issues downloading stuff from the microsoft store, it just blanks out and closes. I don't know what the problem is.
I thought Microsoft had already issued a fix for this. I'd suggest you do a system update. If it persists then try this
1. Open the start menu.
2. Type msconfig.
3. Open "msconfig.exe"
4. Select "Normal boot."
5. Restart
