Windows phone 8.1 stopped syncing OneNote data
Yes... I'm still using my WP8.1 until no other apps work. Believe me it's getting closer all the time. Anyway... my OneNote files are no longer syncing (upload) from my phone to the "cloud". (I hate that term.) This has been going on for two months. Any ideas or suggestions?
Windows 10 disabled me.
Before the windows 10 update i was reasonably computer literate. I have a bachelors degree (soc) and have been a regular online user since 2000. I could handle most tech issues, hook up a printer etc., make AND RETRIEVE my documents, up/download things, play my games, watch videos and play music just fine. After the windows 10 update I became technologically illiterate. I cant find anything because Microsoft organizes my files now, not me. I routinely get locked out of my accounts, apps and even my computers. I've had to do a factory reset on my machine twice now because i could not remember the password or which email i used for it. The machine is worthless without an internet connection. The language is convoluted, new words are not defined, the same word is used to describe different things or one thing will have multiple names. Often no words are used, just a symbol or an anacronym and it is not explained. New words are being invented and that's great, but they are never defined, just trotted on out like everyone knows what they mean, and when you finally do learn what it means THEY CHANGE THE DEFINITION!!! Near constant pop up? (thingies) distract me all the time, i cant finish one task before another app wants me to do something else. I used to only have to do heavy research if something was broken, now i have to google routine things like how to log in. I do not under stand the cloud system AT ALL and its getting worse. We got clouds in clouds now??? I did not realize how drastic a change this was until recently, when I had to drop an online masters program not because I did not understand the material (I'm an honors student) but because I NO LONGER KNOW HOW TO USE MY COMPUTER! Is there a class action lawsuit I can get in on? I want Microsoft to pay to put me through IT classes, it seems you now have to have an IT degree just to use a Microsoft OS. Can I go back to windows 8 or will there be a user friendly, functional update anytime soon?
How can I stay safe while connected to Wi-Fi?
Use an encrypted Wi-Fi while online. Wi-Fi that is encrypted with WPA-2 is more secure than Wi-Fi that's just open for all to access. If you're working from home, make sure that your home's Wi-Fi network is securely encrypted and using WPA-2. All home routers support encryption.

change administrator on windows 10
My and I shared a Windows 10 PC. She now uses a different Windows 10 computer, but the one we shared is registered under my wife's MS account, and displays her name. She is happy for me to change the original PC to be registered to my own MS account, and become the Administrator. How do I do that, so that it displays my name? You can see the problem, as it is my wife's name and image appear with this question! I guess any notifications about this question will be sent to her email account as well, come to think of it. No matter, as I have access to her emails.
Networking
Is it possible to connect ethernet connection and wireless connection on desktop ?
