If you want to start using Microsoft Edge as your default browser, but want to have all your existing favourites carry over, its easy to import those favourites from popular browsers like Chrome, FireFox and Internet Explorer.

Here’s how to import those favourites;

1. With Microsoft Edge open, select the ellipsis menu on the far right side of the browsers toolbar.

2. Select Settings at the bottom of the ellipsis menu.

3. This will open another menu, select “import from another browser”.

4. You will now see the header Import your info and under that will be a list of the browsers you have installed on your Windows 10 system.

5. Select the browsers you want to import from, you can select one or all of them and the import process will grab the favourites from each one.

6. Once you have selected the browser to import from just tap Import and the import process will begin. The length of time this takes depends on how many favourites you have in each browser that you are importing from.

There are literally hundreds of keyboard shortcuts, most of which no one will ever use. I pretty much use 5 to 10 shortcuts on a daily basis. In this post, I will run through the ones I think you should know.

Windows Key – Simply pressing the Windows key will bring up the Start Menu. I use this shortcut the most often because you can just start typing the name of an application or Store app or computer setting and then press Enter to open it.

Windows Key + D – This will hide all windows and show you the desktop. If you press it again, it will bring back the same windows that were active earlier.

Windows Key + L – This will lock the screen in Windows 10.

Windows Key + E – Opens Windows Explorer.

Windows Key + R – Brings up the Run dialog box, which lets you quickly run commands.

Windows Key + Tab – This will show you a thumbnail of all open programs on the current desktop and also a small thumbnail of each desktop at the bottom. You can use the arrow keys to select a different program on the active desktop.

Windows Key + I – Opens the Windows 10 Settings dialog where you can configure the network, backups, WiFi, privacy, security and lots more.

CTRL + Windows Key + L/R Arrow – This will let you switch between desktops quickly using the right or left arrows in conjunction with CTRL + Windows Key. The order for the first two keys doesn’t matter.

Ctrl + Shift + Esc – This will bring up the new Windows 10 Task Manager.

Windows Key + C – This will bring up Cortana in listening mode, if you have Cortana enabled. This is a handy shortcut if you use Cortana often.

To quickly free up drive space on your PC, follow these steps:

1. Open My PC, by double clicking on the “My PC” icon (usually on your desktop)
2. Right click on Drive C and choose properties, you should see this:

3. Select disk cleanup

4. In the next window, it will automatically select items you can delete to free up space. By clicking on each item, it will give you a description so you will know what you are deleting. Just by deleting the windows temporary files, it will free up some space on your PC.

5. Select what you want to remove and click OK.

That’s it! Freeing up even a little space can help applications run smoother and quicker.
