Shownotes Transcript

A business owner asks what considerations are necessary when setting up a computer server for multiple users.  A caller asks for the best way to transfer data from an old Windows 7 computer to Windows 10.  Also, we discuss how to set up OpenDNS for increased security.  Erik discusses Crystal, a computer app which analyzes your personality type based on your social media postings.  A caller with a Windows Vista computer looks for a way to access data if the computer password was forgotten. A user with Windows 7 looks for a way to update Internet Explorer.  A caller with an updated version of Windows 10 wonders why his fans and CPU are running at a high rate when  he is not using his computer.  We discuss the possibility of malware or "cryptojacking" -- the illicit use of someone's computer to make money by "mining" cryptocurrency.  A caller wonders why he has a mysterious network connection called "Network 26."  A caller has an issue with a monitor that has started smoking.  He also wonders if a Chromebook computer would suit his needs if he uses it only for surfing the Internet.
