Cannot save a Thread in Windows 10

[David Root]

Can anyone show me how to do this? It was easy in Win 7, just right click on the thread body and a save button comes up. No such luck in Win 10, that just gives three useless options, and the three dots extra options tab is no help either.

I must be missing something.....??

If you are using Edge the browser that comes with W10, then I suggest install Firefox and you wil lbe able to right click and save or even better use the Firefox add on doPDF and you can save the pages as PDFs using the Print command.

This is odd. Yes I am using Edge in Win 10, but it works OK in the EL34 Forum threads, so why would it not work in Ampgarage threads?

If you were doing this in Internet Explorer on the Windows 7 system, be aware that IE is available -- albeit kind of hidden -- in Windows 10. It's under Windows Accessories in the All Apps listing, or you can just type Internet Explorer in the Cortana search box.

As for why it works at Hoffman's forum but not here, my guess would be it is due to different forum software packages being used.

More reasons not to go W10. Microsoft? A little help?

Thanx, I found Internet Explorer but it seems to have been hijacked by Bing and MSN. How do I get rid of Bing and MSN?

I am becoming disillusioned with Win 10. Too many things that were easy on Win 7 are now hidden or gone. And it is not in general anywhere near as easy to use as Win 7.

Change homepage:
Tools (gear icon, top right corner) --> Internet options --> General --> type the URL of the desired home page in the box

Change default search engine:
Tools--> Manage add-ons --> Search Providers --> Find more search providers (lower left corner) --> click on Google (or whatever you want) --> Add to Internet Explorer --> Add.
Close IE, then restart. Repeat process to get back to Search Providers screen, right click on Google, choose Set as default.
