How can I get the start menu back that was on the computer when I purchased it?

If you had an older OS installed with a different start menu when the computer was first purchased then you will have to downgrade.

My menu has disappeared. I no longer have the list of programs installed or the option to sleep, shut down, or restart.

Community Answer

Download classic shell at classicshell.net. There will be a programs list. Also, choose classic.

Question

My Linux system is hiding the command prompt?

Community Answer

Linux has the Terminal, no command prompt. The instructions for Linux would be very different anyway.

I was given a perfectly working Lenovo running on Windows 10. I stupidly decided to put a password on the bios system. I forgot the password and can’t get past bios.

Unplug your PC, take out the little CMOS battery, plug in and boot up your PC, shut it back down again and unplug it again, put the CMOS battery back on and plug in, close and boot up your PC. There are plenty of guides online, too.
