I test and review a lot of portable power banks on this blog, and most of them turn out to be pretty good. Some are even great.

How to create a Windows 10 Installation DVD (or USB flash drive)
As you probably know, if your computer is currently running either Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 it is eligible for a free upgrade to Windows 10 if you initiate the upgrade before the end of this month.
You can choose to upgrade your PC to Windows 10 in either of the following ways:

RicksDailyTips Weekly Newsletter for July 2, 2016 – Wrap-up of a very busy week

Q&A: Is it ok to take advantage of mistakes sellers make on ebay?
Question from Angie S.: I love buying stuff on ebay, especially when I can get something I want really cheap.
I recently found a pair of designer boots that had no bids because the seller had misspelled the name of the designer. I ended up getting them for $6 plus shipping.

My questions is do you think it’s ok to take advantage of mistakes like that? My husband says it’s fine but I do feel a little uneasy about it.
