By the way, when I had a system crash on my other bitlockered system drive the other day, I found I could access data via a macrium backup of this corrupted drive. It seems to be a way around bitlocker, and perhaps Msoft should be notified. You may not know this but it is possible to rebuild a knackered machine from scratch including all your Apps as they were before. This is done by reformatting the HD, Installing the OS then import all the registry keys. Then copy the Apps from the old HD on to new HD and voila you have your machine running as before. This assumes that you have created the backups of registry keys and the folders: C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files (x86) You need them to copy on to your new HD for this technique to work. -- With over 500 million devices now running Windows 10, customer satisfaction is higher than any previous version of windows. |

Maybe, this site will be useful for you: https://www.wintools.info/index.php/...m-font-changer Nice find, although the win10 defaults seem to work well enough here. The main lack on the creator update system is for similar controls on the web fonts in the Edge browser. Pity as MSFT is focusing on Edge as the emerging default browser on the system. |

If you are really desperate for 1709 then do it manually by downloading the full ISO and then mounting it to run setup.exe \auto \upgrade. It works very well indeed. Just make sure you have backed up your data just in case you press the wrong buttons!!!!!!! You sound like somebody who is not technical minded and you are using the computer because your next door neighbour has one!!!! Wow. You sure jump to a lot of bad conclusions. I am not deperate for 1709. I just commented that I haven't received it yet. I manually installed previous versions but thought I would wait this one out to see how long it would take. Regarding not being technically minded, I am an electrical/computer engineer with 4 decades of experience. Other than that, you were right on. |

Yes, it is that one. Sadly I will still have to adjust the font sizes. Buy a magnifying glass or learn to use Windows tool. |
