I am currently running 8.1. I’d like to try out Windows 10 and if I like it upgrade. If not, I’ll keep running as I am. I’ve never used a virtual machine before: can Window 10 be used from a virtual machine as a “sandbox”, and if so how? Solution: You’ve already “tagged” your question…

Simple question: Most computer power supplies are auto-sensing between 110V/120V and 220V/240V. This begs the question, can they use 240V in North America i.e. connected to both hots (red and black)? Solution: Nearly all computer power supply units (PSUs) are switched mode power supplies (SMPS). The mode of operation is: Rectify the mains voltage. Charge…
