Re: Category colors in Outlook changed on upgrade to 64-bit
This ability to specify the default color for un-Categorized calendar items can help tell which calendar the given items belong to when viewing multiple overlayed calendars, but it seems one would have to be very deliberate about assigning different Category colors for certain uses in the various calendars or the benefit of different colors for un-Categorized items will be useless.1.3KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Category colors in Outlook changed on upgrade to 64-bit
Found the solution. In lefthand pane, on the name of the calendar, right-click and change Color, which is the default color for all items in that calendar which were not assigned a Category/color. In the past, it was gray. It became blue, which I use for a certain Category. I changed it there to gray and that changed all items in the calendar that didn't have a Category assigned back to gray.1.4KViews0likes1CommentCategory colors in Outlook changed on upgrade to 64-bit
Had Windows 7 for too long, upgrades to Windows 10 then Office Apps and Outlook upgrade right after, but it installed 32-bit office. Migrated to a new Exchange hosting provider and simultaneously with the cutover uninstalled Office/Outlook 32-bit and installed 64-bit. Created a new profile in Outlook and the new mailboxes, which synced/populated smoothly. However, the colors and names I had specified in Calendar > Categories reverted to defaults and the default color for all my generic no-category calendar entries went from generic/gray to Blue. Is there any way to globally change those colors and names back to the way I had them before?Solved1.4KViews0likes2CommentsRe: Obtaining Windows 10 update to install over Windows 7
Thanks. I discovered that "Update" only applies to putting a newer version of Windows 10 over an existing version of Windows 10. Installing Windows 10 over Windows 7 (or 11 over 10) is "Upgrade" -- which is what one gets when clicking under Installation Media >Download. (They should state there that the "Upgrade" option will be provided, but they don't mention it.) Thanks!267KViews1like3CommentsObtaining Windows 10 update to install over Windows 7
I have a business grade HP machine still running Windows 7 that came with the machine. I want to update it now to Windows 10. The main link on the MS site for downloading the Update (22H2 - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10) is giving me an error on both my desktop and laptop machines when I go to launch the exe it downloads: "Windows10Upgrade9252.exe is not a valid Win32 application." If I download the "Create installation media" file, will that give me the same option to "update over Windows 7" the exact same way the Update link would (if it was working properly, that is)?329KViews1like21CommentsImporting ICS to selected calendar
I want to import an ICS into a new or selected Outlook calendar that is not my default calendar. I've been reading up and have yet to find a solution. The only two ways I have found are both awkward: 1) import into the default calendar and then use List view to select the ones you just imported ("if" you can isolate them all with a given search term) and then cut and paste or drag into the desired calendar, or 2) change the default calendar in account settings to do the import and then change it back. There has to be a better way. Thanks!13KViews1like4Comments
