This 16-port Netgear Switchbox is how all switchboxes should be made: good quality, long-lasting, and great performer. I'm very pleased with the easy set-up process, and the total performance from the device. A++ all around. Keep this one on the shelves at Best Buy.

What can I say about Logitech? Awesome. Crisp. Loud. Rock-on! After setting them up for a client, we blasted out music and disturbed the neighbors. The music quality was professional and solid. Well worth the money. Would buy again. A++

After years of using Windows products, I can attest that Windows 10 has improved since its first release. Engineers are slowly working out the kinks, although it will never be able to touch the likes of Windows 7. But, it's the times, and you must move on. Welcome, Windows 10.

HP - LaserJet Pro m402dw Wireless Black-and-White Printer - Gray

HP LaserJet Pro m402dw Printer: Quickly print large batches of documents with this black-and-white printer, which features 100-sheet and 250-sheet input trays to handle large jobs. Plus, you can print directly from your smartphone or tablet with Apple® AirPrint.

Does the printer come with a toner cartridge included?

Dear SoutherCross;

Yes, all HP Printers come with toner cartridges. They will last about 1/2 the life of a purchased toner cartridge. So, don't expect to get lots of prints out the one inside. After that, you can buy ones and get 1,200 to 1,500 copies per cartridge.

Best of luck.

HP - LaserJet Pro m402dw Wireless Black-and-White Printer - Gray

I AM HAVING TROUBLE PRINTING CHECKS ON MY HP LASERJET PRO M402N . MANY HAVE BEEN RETURNED ILLEGIBLE AND I HAVE HAD TO REPRINT THEM ON A DIFFERENT HP PRINTER

Dear Anonymous;

I know that sometimes printers can mess up checks. Your best bet is to take the check and put it into the tray. Feeding it through the feeder can ruin the print. I've always had success putting it into the tray instead.

Hope that helps.

NETGEAR - AC1750 Dual-Band Wi-Fi 5 Router - Black

The NETGEAR AC1750 Smart WiFi 5 Router with external antennas delivers extremely fast WiFi. With AC1750 WiFi, Gigabit Ethernet speeds, and high-powered external antennas, this router offers ultimate performance in wireless coverage for large homes with 12 or more wireless devices. It gets 3x faster access than similar 802.11n.

How many feet will this extend to

Best Answer

Dear Joy;

My best estimate is about 200-250 ft. from the source. Most modern homes allow this signal to reach all parts, all floors. Because of this fact, Netgear makes the best routers for the best coverage areas. You should be pleased with this when you purchase it.

Best of luck.

CAN THESE SPEAKERS BE CONNECTED TO YOUR RADIO RECEIVER OF YOUR COMPONENT SET.

Dear Sweetback;

I have a 1985 Sony Boombox. I have been able to run a cable from a modern computer tower to the Boombox, and sound came out of it. Anything is possible. You could do this and make it work. I know other techs would say, "Not possible. The technology is too old." I don't listen to them. Use your imagination. Figure it out. I did. And that was from a 33 year-old piece of machinery.

Best luck,

can these be used with onyx ez satellite dock and play radio from SiriusXM

Dear JBVFW;

Okay, it could work, as long as you have the correct "green" plug connector on the SiriusXM device. My gut level says, "Yes." Check it out. Go for it.

Microsoft Windows 10 Home (64-Bit) - Physical - English

how many PC's that we are able to install this window 10? Thanks.

Dear Anonymous;

With today's strict licensing guidelines, you will get one license use per Windows 10 card. If you try and push it, the license might balk at you and not work anymore. I've seen cases where this has happened. Not good. But I do know, after 20 years of being in this business, that if you wait for some time, the license resets itself, allowing someone to reinstall and register the license again. You see, Microsoft has to honor someone who gets a virus, their hard drive crashes, or some other circumstance makes them reload their Windows product. It's a silent honor; not a publicly known one.

Best of luck,

Microsoft Windows 10 Home (64-Bit) - Physical - English

Can windows 10 be installed on a machine that has no current operating system on it?

Best Answer

Dear Dork1001;

Yes, Windows 10 will format and prepare the hard drive, whether used or new, and you'll be up and running. Follow your instructions for installation. It normally takes about 15-30 minutes to install Windows 10. Hopefully, you'll have all your drivers working (sound, video, WiFi) after the installation finishes. Good question.

Best of luck,

Microsoft Windows 10 Home (64-Bit) - Physical - English

Which version number is this??

Dear BillyRay;

There are two versions of Windows 10: 32-bit and 64-bit. The 64-bit, to me, is the Cadillac of all software. In other words, it gives you all the bells and whistles, the best of the best Microsoft can offer you. When picking between either one, I would go with 64-bit. It runs everything.

Best of luck,

Microsoft Windows 10 Home (64-Bit) - Physical - English

When I load windows 10 64 bit what will happen to my windows media player.?

Best Answer

Dear RonD;

Windows Media Player, the ever-so popular music player from the past, is included with Windows 10 64-bit. The only difference between the old version and the new one is the ability to record and copy music has been removed. If, however, you have a music library already in place, it will play it. You should be okay moving up from another version to the current one.

Best of luck,

Microsoft Windows 10 Home (64-Bit) - Physical - English

Whats the difference between windows 10 "HOME" and "PRO" For $70 more what do I get with Pro that I wouldnt with Home???

Dear UncleG;

I get this question a lot from clients. The main difference between "Home" and "Pro" is for networking purposes. There are more networking options in "Pro" version than "Home." You also get more software titles in Windows 10 Pro. Either of these titles works for me. I don't see any flaws between them, except for the networking abilities of "Pro."

Hope that helps.
