How do I tell Windows 10 to please, for real, not reboot for updates unless I have explicitly clicked a button that says "Please reboot [now/tonight]"?

The way I do it at home is use a dns filter (mine is pihole) to blackhole any attempts at your machine trying to contact the update servers. Then when I actually do want to update I whitelist it temporarily, manually run an update, and then turn filtering back on.

My wife would like to get rid of her laptop and use mine. Problem is I decided a few months ago to flatten mine and turn it into a Linux machine, so I don't have the key. Is there any way to transfer the key from her laptop to mine?

If it's Windows 8.1 or 10 you can't lose the key; it's either in firmware or attached to a hardware hash on Microsoft's licensing servers and either way you just clean-install Windows. If it's 7 it'd be on a sticker or something.

No idea about any legal aspects, but they seem to work just fine even after a year of use. Switching from pro to enterprise took maybe 20seconds and didn't even need a reboot.

I have a Windows 10 Pro desktop and a Windows 10 home laptop. I have setup a network drive share on 4 of the drives on the desktop. Only 1 of the 4 network shares work even though they have all the same exact settings. I have tried restarting both PCs multiple times and I have no clue what else to do. These are the settings that I have setup for two of the drives. D: being the accessible drive and G: being the inaccessible drive.

So, that OP is officially six years out of date. Just got a fancy new laptop (well, fancy being a relative term, it was $400), came with Windows Defender and... Norton. Is Norton still the laughing stock it was last time I bought a Windows PC? What should I use? Avast?

I have Windows 7 on my computer, and want to install Windows 10 in a different hard drive for dual-booting. Is there anything specific I gotta do or should I just use Rufus to create a bootable USB drive and follow instructions as usual?

Don't even need Rufus, just use the media creation tool.

I'm looking for a pdf editor that I will use a couple of times a year, mostly to fill in documents that weren't made fill-in and add my signature (just importing a png, not any sort of encrypted signature). Anyone have a suggestion for editing software that isn't a subscription and isn't on-line (because I don't love editing my PII on someone else's servers)?

Sumatra doesn't fill in forms, takes FOREVER to print a file, and also takes a while to render a dang PDF on a screen. It's good for quick glances at a PDF file since it doesn't have a bunch of trash added onto it. Foxit has the mid-aughts Microsoft mentality of trying to do everything in creation to annoy you with options that you don't want and look bad, but does allow filling in forms and some other very basic editing options. Get the Portable Apps version since it won't pre-install lame services and garbage software you neither want nor need. You'll still have to disable a bunch of interface crap if you use it regularly, like helpful ads for the for-pay version. No one should ever use Adobe Reader, if it still exists.

The Sharing tab only controls permissions for remote users, but every remote user must have permission in the Security tab as well, since that controls access to the folder itself for all users.

Every major patch despite still being there in the sharing properties they just stop working. Re-sharing the resource always fixes it but I figure you've probably tried that already.

Keepass is great, you'll probably end up syncing with dropbox to get the database on your phone (look up minikeepass app). But any folder syncing solution you prefer can be made to work.

Seriously, I've tried most password managers out of some OCD poo poo and they all suck poo poo compared to 1password. KeePass is fine if you wanna do the free open source customize it your way bullshit but in a legit set and forget it with exquisite developers and amazing service then you really can't beat 1password.

I feel like I should bite the bullet and switch from KeePass to 1Password. I'm just sick of creating a new entry on my phone and having it not sync to Google Drive, or updating a password on my computer and having a hell of a time getting the new one on my phone.

IIRC, KeePass has know problems with Google Drive and because of the way Google does stuff. I think it even says so in the faq or docs somewhere. It works fine if you use Dropbox and set up some triggers. In typical open source fashion it requires some up front config. I put up with it because if it's important anything is open source it's the software securing my passwords.
