I ended up resetting both to factory spec then did updates. Update 1903 has been sitting waiting to be installed and can wait a little longer.

I was with TalkTalk and through some mystery computer error my contract was terminated. I went back to Pay&Go which ended up costing me far to much money. Looked for a new contract when a firend told me TalkTalk were doing deals with O2. Signed up with O2 and got a contract for £11.47 per month...

Welcome back :cheers:

I'm also on pre-pay gas and electric and I save a tonne of money. And come November / December I always get around £250 in rebates :thumb:

I now live in a flat and my meter is in an electric cupboard down the end of the hall about 30 meters away. British Gas have said in the past they can't fit a smart meter because of the distance from the meter to my flat.

You could try running one of the many flavours of Linux :thumb:

Open Office Libre Office Both are alternatives to M$ Office and used by a few members of the forums.

Linux :fool:

For peace of mind I would do the £23K install at the higher EU standard. That way you have your ar*e covered when Brexit falls flat on its face again in October and for when you get that one fire inspector that does everything by the book.

I think it must be going on a year now that I have been using just Windows Defender + Malwarebytes every couple of months.:thumb:

Normally I just get on with what ever updates Microsoft push out, but this 1903 update has annoyed me. Firstly on both my desktop and laptop when I login it takes a good minute before I get to my desktop, before the update it was near instant. Microsoft also decided to change my desktop...

I got shot of FB, Whatsapp and Instagram at the start of the year. With O2 I have unlimited texts so more than enough to keep in contact with family and friends and for close family ( parents / sisters ) I use Facetime.
