View Windows 10 Disk Usage With Inbuilt Storage Tool

The Windows 10 storage tool simply makes it easy for me to view hard disk usage on my Microsoft surface laptop. It’s a decent disk space analyzer that helps me easily find the junk I can get rid of.

It shows a list of types of files, how much space each category is taking up, and a list of folders sorted by how large their contents are. It’s not quite as powerful as some third party disk space analyzers for PC, but it’s handy enough that many users might not need anything more.

To access it, head to Start > Settings or use the the combination of “WinKey and I”.

Locate “System” and click it.

Find “Storage” in the left flank of System Settings and click on it.

Select the drive you wish to see detail for.

The storage usage, broken down into a set of storage categories will be displayed.

The Storage tool displays disk usage in the following categories:

System & Reserved
Temporary Files
Apps & Games
Videos
Documents
Other
Mail
Desktop
Pictures
Music
OneDrive
Maps
Other People

When you click the categories, you’ll find more details and some controls. For instance, when you click System & Reserved, you’ll see four sections showing the amount of space taken up by various system components, including the hibernation file and system restore.

When you select the Temporary Files category you’ll see the Remove Temporary Files page where you can remove temporary files, clean out the Downloads folder, empty the Recycle Bin, and remove a previous version of Windows.

If you select Apps & Games, you see all the apps and desktop applications you have installed in Windows 10. Adjacent to each application, you’ll find the amount of space that app is using and when it was installed. Clicking an app icon reveals an Uninstall button.

The Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, OneDrive, and Desktop categories aren’t all that useful, as they simply allow you to open the respective folders in File Explorer and view those files.

If you need an alternative to the storage tool to analyze hard disk space on your Microsoft surface laptop, you can try TreeSize Free which you can download from the Microsoft store.

Windows key + h Takes Screenshot On Windows 10 Microsoft Surface Laptop

I use windows key + h shortcut to take screenshots on my Microsoft surface laptop as alternative to snipping tool and third party apps : ShareX and Skitch which I’ve installed on the Windows 10 Pro PC.

After pressing the combination Windows + H keys on the keyboard, I access the screenshot by launching the Screen Sketch app which is accessible by clicking the Windows ink workspace icon in the taskbar.

Right inside the Screen Sketch app, I can annotate and share!

I can share the screenshot on my Windows 10 PC to Mail, OneNote and social networks (Facebook, Twitter etc). Kindly note that you will see the Facebook, Twitter options only if you’ve installed their apps from the the Microsoft store.

 

 

Combination of WIN key + Shift + S will bring up a snipping toolbar which you can use to snip a rectangle, something a bit more freeform, or full screen and it will go straight to your clipboard and also accessible via the Screen Sketch app.

As at the time of publishing this post, my Screen Sketch app is still bundled with the Windows Ink feature of my Microsoft Surface Laptop Windows 10 Pro but available for download in the Microsoft store as a separate app for Windows 10 version 17636.0 or higher.

Note

The screenshots that you take from pressing Win and H keys are piled up in %temp% folder. So, the best suggestion is to clear out the items of %temp% folder and keep your computer clean. Clearing out the screenshots will eventually make some space on the hard drive.

Recommended Winkey 10 keyboard shortcuts

Winkey + D  =  Shows desktop
Winkey + I    =  Opens Windows 10 settings
Winkey + E   =  Opens Windows 10 settings

How To Start Recharge Card Printing Business In Nigeria

In this post, I want to share with you how to start recharge card printing business in Nigeria.

No matter where you are in Nigeria, you can start making money in Nigeria by printing and selling recharge cards.  Those recharge vouchers you buy by the road side, in your street etc are printed by people like you. The airtime vouchers don’t fall from heaven.  I’ve been printing airtime vouchers in Nigeria for the past 8 years.

Well, starting recharge card printing business is not rocket science. You only have to put some things in place and know reliable companies that sell recharge cards pins in Nigeria. Things you need to start recharge card printing business include :

1. Computer : can be a desktop computer or laptop
2. Printer: Laserjet recommended!
3. A4 papers
4. ePins of any network you want to print
5. Recharge card printing software eg NetDivo ePin Manager

 

 

I did not include internet access because it’s not compulsory. Most recharge card printing softwares don’t require internet for printing recharge cards. More so, a dealer might be in your neighbourhood and getting epins from such a dealer might just be a matter of walking in to the dealer shop to pick up a flash drive or CD containing your epins.

If you are dealing with a dealer or sub dealer that is far away from you, then you will need internet access to download the epins they will be sending to your email. When doing this, it’s better you do it on your personal computer and not at a cyber cafe where anyone can access your email especially if you forget to sign out from your email account before leaving the cyber cafe.

Once you have your laptop, printer and papers ready, proceed to download recharge card printing software. Install it and ensure you learn how to use it.

You can download recharge card printing pdf by NetDivo to learn how to use the NetDivo ePin manager software for recharge cards printing.

You can download NetDivo recharge card printing software and install for FREE on your computer, but you will not be able to use it until you activate it. Activating the NetDivo software will cost you N9,500.

If you pay the N9,500 to activate your copy of the NetDivo software, you will get

• sample ePin file you can print out for training purposes only
• contact details of where you can buy ePins of all networks in Nigeria.

Once you have mastered how to use the software and have the contact of where you can buy ePins, then proceed to order for your ePins. Once delivered to you, upload to the recharge card printing software and print them out accordingly.

Once printed, sell and make your money.

Mind you, the volume of your sales will determine how much money you can make from recharge card printing business in Nigeria.

I hope this helps.

Feel free to ask me questions via comments and please, SHARE this with your loved ones by making use of the share buttons below.

Happy Selling!

How Long Does It Takes To Get Drivers License In Nigeria?

How long does it takes to get drivers license in Nigeria ?

Well, you will be able to get the temporary Nigeria drivers license same day you complete the biometric capture if there are no technical issues at the capture centre. Without been captured, there is no way you will get the temporary drivers license in Nigeria.

When I applied for the new Nigeria drivers license in May 2018, I got the temporary license that same day that I applied for it. I filled the drivers license application form that day, paid into the bank that day (for 5 years validity), obtained my VIO and eye test certificates that same day and I was also captured that same day.

The temporary drivers license expires after two months. When mine expired, my permanent Nigeria drivers license wasn’t ready for pick up at the capture centre.  Instead, I was asked to make a photocopy of the temporary license. They stamped and signed on it and told me I can be using that pending the time my permanent license will be ready.

On August 13, 2018, I received an sms that I should go and pick up my permanent drivers license. That’s approximately three months after I was captured.

I hope this info helps.
