I need an edit button for my new HP laptop computer.

How do I get one, on my screen? On my old laptop, with windows 7 I had one at the very top of my screen.

Helped me a lot, with an option to "undo".

I just typed something in here, at the KT, and whoa, it is gone... no option to get it back.

any computer guru know what I am talking about, and know how to tell me to get such on my new laptop?

If you want your "Menu Bar" back right-click an empty area of the tab bar and select it. (I like to view my Bookmarks Toolbar too)

(I realize it's a laptop but I'm sure there's a laptop equivalent of a right-click.)

No, when I click on the edit button on my old lap top, I can choose "undo". and all what I had typed, and had disappeared will show back up. :)

I would definitely consider the new ultra books in particular the Asus ultra book that is both a tablet and laptop in one it won't be cheap but for travel the size and weight will be important, I think you should go with 8,it will hard to find new with out it. I would definitely not get 17" for travel. I think anything in the newer released laptops will cover your needs. The ultra book convertible is the best of both worlds, I think being able to use it in tablet mode will come in very handy. I personally own the Asus tf300 transformer tablet which I love but you want something bigger it sound like and your gaming needs would probably dictate a laptop. I don't mind a refurbished as long as it is factory refurbished with some warranty.

Indeed, this Grannie is laughing too! Grandson was here over the weekend. The update was triggered and is now a done deal. Grandson reminded me to make sure Defender was enabled, then download anti malware. I didn't want to let him to go home!!! So tomorrow it's on to the downloads. Regarding defender: do I uninstall Norton before Defender will work? I'm glad I have the iPad to continue using while I learn the new system.

HP Laptop Cannot connect to internet Via wireless Or Direstly
Q

It does not seem to be a network adapter issue either, as both wireless and direct connection are problematic. The next step to see if a program typically Anti Virus is causing issue. So lets boot the computer to safe mode with Networking and see if you can connect that way, lets just concentrate using a direct connection. Restart the computer, keep tapping the F8 Key, the computer will boot to the advanced boot options menu black screen with white letter. From the list presented to you, use the arrow key to select Safe Mode With Networking once selected hit enter on the keyboard. Now try to connect to only Google.com. Let us know if you can connect that way. Do not surf the internet in this mode. Please be sure to try another browser too maybe before doing all this above in case this is a silly internet explorer issue.. Joe

It depends on the browser you are using. Was your old one Internet Explorer?

Moni - just press the Ctrl button and while holding it down press the z key.

Lisa and Lindsey thanks for your help too... but Richards gave me what I was looking for.

ALL, sorry, was away from the computer for a bit. There was a break in the light misting rain, and I walked to AAA looking for a map, which they didn't have, but found it at Barnes and Noble.

Now, the real planning can get started. :)

So I too have a new computer. I just yelled at my son. where did my tool bar go?

Him - Why?

Me - Because I need my undo button (which I have never used)

Him - Hit ctrl and z.

Me - Apparently that won't work with Windows 10 and chrome (my new computer)

(Keep in mind we're yelling down the hall at each other)

Him - oh for crying out loud, ( mumble, mumble, stomp stomp stomp)

Me - (show him this thread and Moni's posts)

Him - What?! Press this, it's all right here. (presses the 3 dots in the top R corner)

Me - Where does it say undo?

Him - arrggh - press ctrl and z.

Me - Actually, I never use undo anyway.

Him - oh gawd.

Me - but how do I clear cookies and history?

Him - I know you can do that. (stomp, stomp, stomp)

You know what, sometimes it's just fun to irritate my adult children. And this one is staying with us right now while I baby-sit him after his laser-eye surgery last week.

Irritating one's adult children is one of the best perks of "old" age, IMO!!! Especially if it concerns computers (I can spell "computer" but that's about as far as I can go with them... Technology and I do not play well together; before computers, any machine -- vacuum, washer,etc. - could do the same to me. And still can.)

Glad you got the problem sorted, Moni! This community is so great!

I can sure relate to that blfenton. When you start explaining what you're seeing on screen in terms of that thingy that looks like a dot or an arrow or a 3 line equal sign ... that can really get them going. Kids ... you just have to luv them right.

Someone posted this in the daily funnies not long ago. My grandson (10) thought it was hilarious:
