I know others have mentioned window misting in a double glazed window but I have a south facing bathroom window in a 30 yr old house. I know the seal has gone but cannot understand why condensation forms in the heat waves we have been getting. It mists up part of the window and actual drops can...

Already tried that. I'm stumped. Will get the plumber we use to see if he has any ideas. Thanks for your help.

Tried both of those options, no luck with bashing, wiggling did loosen the left side but the other side was firmly fixed. Did try with a drill but bit just kept slipping off and was scared I might damage the cistern round the screw holes.

Not very clear though. I had to take out the fill valve to work on the one that side.

Bear with me.

Yes it is.

I needed to replace the flush valve in a 30 yr old toilet.The fixings to the wall are all rusted up. I asked in another post if I could hacksaw the ends off, it was suggested I do that but I cannot get the cistern up, the rest of the screws or whatever they are are still stopping it coming up...

I am hoping to replace the flush valve on a close coupled toilet. I managed to do the same on a downstairs loo last year. The screws securing the cistern to the wall, or I think they are screws, it is hard to tell as they are completely rusted up. There are plenty of videos on YouTube about...

Ignore the post. Must have been a fault with the usb. I installed the creation tool on another usb and that worked fine.

I put a new ssd in a 12 year old Toshiba laptop and tried to install windows 10 from the Media creation tool on a usb stick. It started ok but a failure notice appeared, see photo. What could have caused this to happen?

I have sent for another ssd and will attempt to install windows 10 again with the windows 10 media installation tool I have on a usb. If that works will investigate Linux. Another old laptop I had, again one of my daughter's old ones, I have it changed to a Chrome book.

Thanks for advice but after a lot attempts to install it it finally worked! So now have a working Chrome book on a 15 yr old laptop.

This may seem basic to someone with more computer skills than me but am a bit stuck. I have an old HP laptop which is 15 years old which was my daughters when she started uni in 2010. She has newer ones now. Originally it had Windows 7 on it, I upgraded it to windows 10. After managing to...

Thanks for that info.

Did not know you had to leave it open. Was not told this. Thought 250 mls a bit low might add some more. Thanks for info.

I had a new Worcester Bosch heat only boiler fitted nearly a month ago with one of those filters inline above the boiler. The heating bloke also replaced a manual bleed valve with what he said was an automatic one in the airing cupboard upstairs. He did this off his own back, fair enough. I have...

Wondered about that myself. Thanks for tip

I can't put anything on it at the moment as it won't respond to anything. I think it has packed up, could not cope with the stress of windows 11!

I read that someone had installed windows 11 on a 12 year old laptop. I have a 15 year old HP laptop that I just kept as a back up to my desktop pc and tablet. I installed windows 10 on it when it came out and would install the security updates every now and then. So following a YouTube tutorial...

Thanks for advice, will check them.
