Cloud Questions
There are a number of different “clouds”. Here are some of the popular ones:

Google Drive, 15 GB free
OneDrive, 5 GB free
DropBox, 2 GB free
Amazon, 5 GB free

Consider each one your “hard drive in the cloud”. You are the only one to have access and you can store what you want. Google Photos and Amazon Prime members get unlimited photo storage. You can purchase additional space with all of these services. Amazon Prime members get free unlimited, full-resolution photo storage as a benefit of their membership. Office 365 members get 1TB free from Microsoft.

Restore Windows To Their Saved Size And Position With Using Window Resizer
There are many ways to reposition the windows of programs that you use. Of course, the most popular way is placing the windows manually with a click and drag, and by using Windows' useful Windows-key plus arrow key combinations, e.g. to quickly place two windows side by side on the monitor.

Hide the App List in Windows 10’s Start Menu
When you open the Start menu in Windows 10, you normally see an alphabetical list of apps installed on your system. If you’d like to have a smaller sleeker Start Menu, it’s possible to hide the app list on the left. Here’s how.
