Or you could just go to Start> right-click on Computer> Properties, and then look under Windows edition to see which ones you actually have installed.

Where's the Windows edition? Seriously?🙂

What do you mean it isn't there? I thought you'd get something similar to this:

Hey. I'm running Windows XP right now—but for some reason, I can't get the option to choose whether I want to upgrade to Windows 7 or just stay put. 🤷

If your PC actually meets the minimum system requirements for Win7, then I guess there isn't much to think about. 🙂

Why on earth am I seeing an "audio service is not running" error and a big red "x" over my speaker icon when I can clearly hear sound perfectly fine?
Everything was working just fine until now, and I'm running the 64-bit version of Windows.

People, tell me—which version of WinRAR are you all running? The ones I tried didn't even bother installing the program at all. Does it require a full version to actually function, or what?...

Everything was fine before, I'm on a 64-bit version of Windows.

That happens to me sometimes too. Nothing to worry about, really—the red x usually goes away after a quick restart. 🙂

Just head over to this page and grab whichever version you want...
They're just trial versions, though, so I guess you'll get a pop-up after a month telling you it's a trial.😁

Keep in mind these are just trial versions—which means after a month, you'll be stuck with those annoying pop-ups telling you the trial has expired.😁

Will that stay valid indefinitely—or am I going to have to keep downloading it over and over again🙂?

It works fine, but once the 30 days are up, you'll probably get a little pop-up saying the trial expired. Just close the window and it should keep running normally... 🙂

And I see that... well, it's gone now... just vanished...

How many email accounts can I set up in Windows Live Mail? I’m not talking about my Hotmail web access—I mean the actual WLM app on my computer. I tried adding one earlier, but I couldn't quite get it to work. I much prefer using the desktop client since I don't have to stay constantly connected to the internet like I do with Hotmail; everything just opens up automatically. Is that a solid way to go, and can I actually add a second account to WLM?☕

Look, you can set up as many Windows Live Mail accounts as you want...
And besides, you can totally use MSN Messenger to check your Hotmail messages. Just do a little digging online to figure out how to configure it if that's what you're after...

"As many as I want"? Fine then—why don't you hook me up with one?

Here’s a guide on how to set up an account: http://www.webdevelopersnotes.com/ti...mail_setup.php

You just create them one at a time—I don't see what the big deal is.

Just create them one by one—what's the actual issue there?

I think I actually got it working! Thanks!😉

What’s the incoming server for MSN Messenger?
How do I delete an alias in Hotmail?🤷

The incoming server is actually provided by whoever handles your email service—Windows Live Mail is just the software you use to read your messages.

I mean, I'm definitely getting my emails on Hotmail just fine, but they won't sync over to Windows Live Mail. So it's basically just an issue with receiving? Sending works perfectly fine.🤷
