News and Alerts: Updated 03/13/19 Glossary
Updating of this website is being suspended for an indefinite period. It has become too labor-intensive for me to keep it updated to my satisfaction, and similar help and information are available elsewhere (although in the highly-fragmented, sprawling manner of the Web!) It is possible the site may return with an improved format and with a somewhat less ambitious goal.
In the meantime, the following sites are highly recommended for anyone seeking help with Windows 10:
Independent Websites
The Supersite for Windows winsupersite.com/
Thurrot https://www.thurrott.com/, the website of Paul Thurrott
