How to Find Your Lost Wifi Password on Windows 11?
Many of us set up a Wifi network on our computer and then forget about it. But when you need to set up Wifi on your smartphone, tablet or another computer, the password is essential.
While there is an option to reset your router by pressing that small Reset button, it’s not recommended. You could lose your custom Wifi router configurations and may have to ask for a technician visit to re-configure your router. Without re-configuration of your router, you may not be able to wirelessly connect to the Internet (although you can connect using a Wired connection by directly plugging in the network cable, thereby skipping the router).
Thankfully, there are easy ways to get back your lost Wifi password. You can recover your password within a few minutes using the in-house Windows tools as well as third-party software.

How to Search for Duplicate Documents in Windows 11
Your computer’s storage can fill-up quickly if you use it for a long time. As you copy or transfer files from other devices, it tends to fill up your storage very quickly. It’s possible to expand your computer’s storage by purchasing an external hard disk that comes into different storage capacities up to 12 TB. Or maybe you can upload your files on the cloud (Internet) to free-up some storage locally. These are great options, nevertheless, but they have their own limitations in terms of storage capacities and price. At some point of time, you may run out of storage and you’re forced to either delete some existing files or pay more for additional storage. There’s a better way — Search for duplicate documents in Windows 11 and make room for new files. Read on to know how.

How to Pin a Word Document, Image, Website or Any Other File to the Taskbar
Pinning a program to Taskbar simplifies the way you can open it. This handy feature gives you the ability to open any program with a single click, without looking through the long, cluttered All Apps list.

Why Are There So Many Duplicate Files On My Hard Disk? How Do I Get Rid Of Them?
Duplicate files are identical copies of your original files. They are usually scattered across multiple locations- such as different drives, folders and sub-folders on your hard disk. Duplicate files are usually found in popular file formats (such as .txt, .docx, .pdf, .ppt, .xlsx, .mp3, .mp4, .rar, etc.).
