I have a dongle question. The tv in our dining room is set up for Netflix but it isn’t connected to the internet. Is there a way to connect it wirelessly? It would save a lot of arguments if the grandchildren could watch different tv programmes in different rooms.G.

Glad you have got it all working ok, though I tend to do a new image every 2 months or just before W10 SCU or ACU ( if you use w10 ?) so if anything goes wrong during or after the update you can quickly restore back.

Just to add to Ricky's excellent advice, when you set up your email client (and Thunderbird is excellent, and free), make sure that you use IMAP and not POP3. Give us a shout if you need help.
