Windows 10 has a button on the bottom right of the screen, Ease of Access, which opens up a panel allowing you to bring up the on-screen keyboard. At this point you can use your mouse to type.

If I were you, I'd install windows 7. To be honest, I didn't know there were still Vista computers alive and breathing. Vista was completely garbage. So much so, many users reverted to XP until windows 7 came out. Vista is inherently slow, and I think you'll find the computer a little zippier...

It should.

At this point, unless you are confident in your computer skills and researching self-repair options, you should take it to a tech if you want to save it. When you boot up your system, if you can't even make it into bios, the issue is a conflict that won't be fixed easily.

As long as both mouse and keyboard are bluetooth, they should both show up in the bluetooth settings screen to be paired.

I'm genuinely curious when I ask this question: Why would you want to make a macbook a windows computer? What are the advantages or uses?

Sounds like you are in a position to give taking it apart yourself a try. A good Youtube video and some patience could get the job done. Once you have it apart, start cleaning with water (distilled or at least bottled), and leave the alcohol for the stubborn spots. Combination of blotting and...

If at idle the machine is hot-to-the-touch, you should probably take it to a professional.

That adapter has nothing to do with internet. It's just a connection from the iphone to the TV or projector. You still need an actual internet solution. https://www.att.com/internet/fixed-wireless.html If providers don't come to your area, it seems wired internet services are out of the...

As I understand HDMI ARC, you connection is wrong if the soundbar is between TV and PC. The speaker should remain plugged into the ARC port of the TV. The PC should be plugged into an HDMI port that is not ARC.

If you can put it together yourself, https://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.3791772 and get some advice on choice of video card to finish it off. This next one a pretty good start, you could buy a better video card in the future if you choose. But I hate the look...

Agree with Supahos. Sounds ok. But you should make sure that you never play games without first making sure you have 100% ventilation (not just sides, bottom too). Heat and dust are number one and two culprits for hardware degrading.

When it comes to games, computers like that are only good for games like Plants vs Zombies. Don't do it to yourself. As asked, what's your spending limit? Does it have to be a laptop, because gaming on a laptop is inherently more expensive than on a desktop, not to mention you can't do much to...

Maybe your TV/cable provider has an app that allows you to change channels via wifi. I have Verizon Fios, and within their app is a feature that has the actual cable box remote control, and it's functional. It's just a split second slower than a real remote because the signal is using the wifi...

I wouldn't spend to much time diagnosing the jack unless you don't have an audio jack in the back of the computer. If you do, I'd just spend a few bucks on a 3.5mm extension cord that will reach from the back of the computer to your seated position.
