• McAfee is more of a virus than I expected, need advice

  Honestly, the best antivirus is to only download stuff from trusted sources. Not downloading random torrents, not downloading software from these random crap sites like https://download.cnet.com/ that contain bloatware. Source: 11 months ago

• New TLDs are available. .zip and .mov and it seems a bit concerning

  If you currently type download.com into a file explorer window, it will open internet browser and go to https://download.cnet.com/ as expected. Source: 11 months ago

• [fully lost] Seeking MP3s from VERY OBSCURE Norwegian Experimental Electronic group Mors Galackks (mid 2000s)

  I found their music in 2006 on music.download.com, which is now download.cnet.com and doesn't have any of the mp3s it used to. Internet archive doesn't seem to come up with anything for this artist. Source: about 1 year ago

• Downloading Microsoft software from download.cnet.com

  I want to download Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate. Microsoft's extended support for this software has ended and they no longer have it available on their website. However, it is available at download.cnet.com and on the page it says by Microsoft. Source: over 2 years ago

• Please help

  How do I open downloads from https://download.cnet.com on my iPhone. Source: about 3 years ago

• Is it preferred to overwrite old program versions, uninstall before installing the new one, or to use portables?

• Existence of Windows Transfer Utility?

  If you want to buy Macrium Reflect you can redeploy your old computer's image on to your new computer - MR sorts out the different hardware driver issues - but quite frankly it's usually best to copy over your personal files, fresh install 3rd-party software with something like Ninite, Patch My PC or WingetUI and then export the settings and app data over from the old computer.

• Microsoft Store in Perpetual Update (I've tried everything Google has had to say but to no avail)

  What I'm thinking now is you may just want to solve this with the nuclear option like this guy did - https://old.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/f4tw3k/cannot_open_any_microsoft_store_apps_windows/ A pain in the ass, but most 3rd-party applications can export settings, and a program like Patch My PC or winstall can reinstall software quickly.

• 10->11 most efficient data transfer method

  Transfer personal files over, use Patch My PC to install 3rd-party apps all at once and quickly, copy app settings over to new machine. Source: about 1 year ago

• Reset & Backup On Win11

  If you image your whole drive and then restore it, you'll be right back in the same exact place you are now. Back up your personal files, 3rd-party software settings (where possible) and browser bookmarks to external storage, do a PC reset from settings using the cloud option, reinstall 3rd-party software with Ninite or Patch My PC.
