Q&A: What happened to the Control Panel in Windows 11?
Question from Kerry: I have a Windows 11 question for you if you don’t mind.
I used to be a Windows guy, but when Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7 I decided to switch to a Mac.
Well, my Mac recently bit the dust and I decided to switch back to Windows. Long story short, I ended up buying an HP all-on-one desktop computer with Windows 11 on it.
Back when I was using Windows 7 I could open the Control Panel from the Start menu, but that’s apparently not the case with Windows 11. I’ve looked high and low and I can’t find it.

Is there a way to “hide” those pages from my friends but still access them myself as usual? [Read more…]
Q&A: Can carrying a sleeping laptop damage the hard drive?
Question from Larry: I just bought my first laptop and I have a question about it.
When I close the lid it goes into Sleep mode. Is it safe to carry it around while in Sleep mode or should I shut it down completely?
I’ve always been told never to move a computer that’s powered up or it’ll damage the hard drive, and a sleeping laptop still has power, right?
As you can see I’m confused LOL. Looking forward to your answer.
