A Windows 7 user has concerns about the security of his computer while using tax software if Microsoft is no longer providing updates to Windows 7, and if his antivirus program would protect him.  We discuss options to upgrade the computer to a later version.  An Acer laptop user has problems with a wireless driver update.  We provide solutions on how to update the driver or purchase a USB wireless adapter to potentially remedy the problem.  A caller who is trying to update a ten-year-old computer from Windows 7 to Windows 10 asks for advice, plus help with streaming video problems.  A new Windows 10 user has problems connecting his HP Laserjet P1102w printer to his laptop.  Also he asks if his Microsoft Office and McAfee antivirus software can be used on both of his computers.  A listener discusses the first successful docking of a commercial space craft with the International Space Station, plus help clear out "cache" files on his tablet.  A Community Center volunteer asks for help in finding a way to remotely access members computers to solve computer problems without having to be physically present to operate the computer in person.  A caller has questions about using Windows ReadyBoost in order to speed up a Windows computer.
