There are moves afoot to put me on to the IET, IEC, IE something traing course, so I might be taught the correct way that does not involve finger print loss...

I am glad you caught the specific wording, and, yes, protect your fingers.

Congrats! I look forward to the comments.

I need to remote into a Win10 machine to tidy up a friend's misadventures. I have a Win7 Pro box (preferred) or Win10 Home (if I really really have to). From what I could see, Win10 to Win10 Remote Assist needs one or both ends to have a M$ account, which is something that doesn't appeal. Anyone had experience with remote assist to Win10? Clues? Traps to avoid?
I resisted the temptation of a recursive subject line
Cheers,
Peter

I have not tried this, but I have used TeamViewer[^] and VNC[^] successfully on a number of occasions.

If it is only one off or occasional use TeamViewer.
You don't need to install on either end. Use TeamViewer Portable at your end and TeamViewer Quick Support at the other.
Gives you pretty much full access, doesn't require Pro version of Windows and if a particular key sequence is required get the guy at the other end to press it.

Thanks Mick. Must get together again some time. TeamViewer looks the go; I'll report back when it's done.

AnyDesk works really well. Install on both ends and then connect and control.

This! People kept asking me to fix their computer and I still do on rare occasions. But once I started telling them to bring it to me, people quit asking. I guess it's wasn't that big of an issue then, lol.

A wise advice bro. I have gotten people who asked me silly question such as how to download videos from youtube. It's very regrettable.
I should just made her bring her laptop to me.

Agreed. I used to be the nice neighbor until MANY nights ruined by needy neighbors and I had to put my foot down.
Someone actually knocked on my "office" window at 3am, because they saw the light on. They needed to print their kids homework, and their printer was out of ink.
Can you imagine? Worse, the kid was in bed! I sent them to Kinkos, and let EVERYONE know that I had a friend who did all of this as a business, and would gladly come over and take care of anything they wanted for her normal rate, and a 1hr minimum charge. HIGHLY recommended.
Every time someone asked me anything (at a cookout, or the pool, I gave them her card), and explained I am not in that business. Once the 5 worse offenders realized I was NOT going to help them, it all stopped.
Even with that, I had one person call me confused "I called her, but she wants to charge me!"
(Yeah, kinda the point!)
One neighbor, in particular, went out of his way to repay the debt with a favor, and bought and delivered lava rock as a thank you. I only asked if he would go pick it up with me, so I could use his pickup truck for this dirty load. Once he knew my goal, he did it all by himself in the wee hours of the morning, and had the front yard done as I woke up! I offered to pay, and he laughed. He apologized that his home computer network was so bad that I spent 4 hours on it (and gave him an old switch to replace the bad one causing most of the issues)...
My doctor calls me about once every 3 months to ask "how do you turn on the file preview again?"
What I hate: He acts like he is calling to see if I am okay. He ALWAYS has a computer question!
