 Often while using the computer we need to copy or transfer a file from one place to another on the hard disk, whether transferring a file from Partition "D" to Partition "C" on the desktop, or from the flash drive to the hard drive. When you want to, you have to select the file and right click to get the option "Copy" for copying and "Cut" for transfer, select the appropriate option and then go to the folder you want to add it to. The problem with this method is that it is difficult when it comes to copying or moving multiple files from different folders, so you will find that it is impractical and wastes a lot of time. In this case, the "Send to" option is usually used to make the command smooth and fast, as you specify the location from the submenu and a shortcut to the specified files is created immediately in the specified location. But the shortcuts don't always work, as the original copy must be stored on the same hard d...

How to Fixing Error 0xc00000e9 on WIndows 10? From the error code mentioned in the above post, you may be facing this issue due to the hardware incompatibility or the faulty device drivers installed in the PC.

We show you how to open and use Disk Cleanup in Windows 10 and use its advanced mode to free up even more space. It’s smart to buy a small SSD to run your OS, but this can lead to its own problems. All too often, temporary files and deleted items can build up, getting your drive so clogged that it can affect performance. Because of this, Microsoft has created the Windows 10 disk cleanup tool, which you can utilize to free up space on your C: drive or any other drive. Unfortunately, low disk space notifications don’t tend to direct you to this tool, instead taking you to Windows storage settings. This leads many to wonder where disk clean up is in Windows 10.

Running Disk Cleanup in Windows 10 can free up space by deleting files that you don’t need.

This also contains all of their documents, saved games, videos, and more.

بواسطة Abd Al Rahman Al Tell -

 Windows 10 is designed to work on personal computers, which usually have an unlimited Internet connection, allowing the download and upload tasks to be performed as desired without being asked. However, Windows 10 contains a useful feature called "Metered connection" that helps reduce data usage, and this is necessary for some types of connections. Microsoft knows that not all Windows 10 users are connected to the unlimited internet, as there are those who connect to limited capacity packages, portable hotspots, or via a phone server, and anything else. Therefore, it was necessary to provide a feature that would make the system realize that you are connected to the limited internet and thus reduce data usage. This was an initial definition of the feature, so let me tell you on this topic how exactly it works, when and how to activate it. As we indicated, when you activate the Metered connection feature, Windows 10 will know that you are on a limited connection and then take ...
