Easily migrate an existing Windows installation to a Solid-State Drive This article shows the best way to move Windows 10, 8.1, and 7 from an existing drive to a new SSD, as well as addressing any problems that may occur after the fact. The screenshots below are from Windows 10, but the instructions also apply to Windows 7 and 8.1. Prepare Your Source Drive Before you clone Windows 10 to SSD (or Windows 7 or 8.1) you need to make sure that both the source drive, the one you're cloning from, and its destination SSD are ready. With the source hard drive, you want to remove any unnecessary data that you don't want to bring with you as you clone it. That not only saves space on the new drive, but can speed up the cloning process. There are a number of great tools to use for cleaning a drive. Windows own Disk Cleanup is a great place to start, though you may also want to consider the Free Up Space tool for more advanced disk space cleaning. As important as it is to get your so...

  Windows 10 no longer shows the estimated battery time remaining after the Creators Update. You’ll just see a percentage when you hover over the battery icon—not a time. Although  it has its quirks , you still might want to see it. Why Did Microsoft Hide the Battery Life Estimate? This information was removed because it’s just an estimate. It can change dramatically depending on what processes are running, how bright your screen is, and whether you’re connected to Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Your computer is making an informed guess and displaying an estimated battery life in real-time. It can fluctuate wildly, and Microsoft seems to think it’s no longer useful. Apple recently made the same decision on macOS, too. By default, both macOS and Windows just show the percent of your laptop’s battery you have left with no guess about how long it will last. How to Bring Back Battery Time Remaining To bring back the battery time remaining in Windows 10, you just need to make a few ...

Windows 10 normally displays a battery icon in the notification area, also known as the system tray, when you’re using a laptop or tablet. This icon shows the current battery percentage. Here’s how to get it back if it vanishes. Your battery icon might still be in the notification area, but “hidden.” To look for it, click the up arrow to the left of your notification icons on the taskbar. Step 1 If you see the battery icon here (an area Microsoft calls the “notification area overflow pane”), simply drag and drop it back to the notification area on your taskbar. Step 2 If you don’t see the battery icon in the panel of hidden icons, right-click your taskbar and select “Taskbar Settings.” You can also head to Settings > Personalization > Taskbar instead. Step 3 Scroll down in the Settings window that appears and click “Turn system icons on or off” under Notification area. Step 4 Locate the “Power” icon in the list here and toggle it to “On” by clicking it. It will reappear on your t...

  If you need to do some hardcore multitasking on your   Windows   PC, a second monitor can go a long way towards getting things done. If you opt to "extend" your Windows desktop across a dual monitor setup, it's as if you have two computers side by side, with each display getting its own set of windows and programs that can be open simultaneously. But a second monitor can be rather expensive, and they're certainly not very portable if you wanted to use one with your laptop. That's where Spacedesk comes into play: It's software that lets you easily turn any Android device into a second display for your Windows desktop. What's more, it works over Wi-Fi, meaning there's no messy wires, so you'll always be one tap away from having dual Windows monitors wherever you are. Step 1 Install Spacedesk on Your PC First up, you'll need to install the Spacedesk drivers on your Windows PC. So head to the link below, then you'll notice two versions listed...

You can review  Microsoft’s documentation here  for more information.

This walk-through will assist you in creating accounts which can be used for Microsoft Teams Rooms (MTR), formerly known as Skype Room System (SRS). These accounts can be used for any natively supported device such as Polycom VVX, Trio phones and Skype Room Systems from Logitech, Crestron, Polycom, HP, etc. Everyone’s setup can be unique, so some parts of this article may apply to your setup and others may not. CREATING MICROSOFT TEAMS ROOMS ACCOUNTS If you have Exchange Online, then you can create cloud-only room accounts.  If you have a Hybrid Exchange setup, you’ll want to create the account on-premise and migrate it to Exchange Online so that the room appears in both your Exchange Hybrid and Exchange Online. You can run  Get-MsolAccountSku  to get your available Office 365 licenses and find the SKU you want to use.
