Windows 10 Download Reservation started today

Windows 10 Download Reservation started today

Gotta be honest...I'm not that computer/software savvy. Today, I noticed a icon in the lower right corner which says "Get Windows10". If I decide to get it it, what do I need to do before hand? One friend said I needed to back-up my entire Windows 7 hard drive since Windows 10 in a completely new OS...

Villa Market on the move?

In regards to the salmon and sausage... I believe both problems lay in the way they were first shipped, or most probably how the products were handled after they arrived here in Thailand, and eventually shipped up here to Udon. Not with Villa. I believe that many Thais still don't understand how to ...

Hidden Money/Belt Pouches

Coming to Thailand by plane I nearly always wear a money belt as I'd usually have quite a few NZ$ with me. I then feel safer trying to nod off. That is exactly why I need a hidden money pouch , for the airplane, and walking through airports. Thanks for the offer Downunder. Your belts look like they...
