Epic Browser Logo

Epic Browser is a great alternative to the browsers that come with your computer like Edge and Safari. It is considerably more secure. But recently, the Proxy VPN service that was activated by default has been made an extension, and to get it back there are a few things you need to do. To get started, you can either watch the video below, or continue reading.

Firstly, click on the three dots in the top right hand corner, the select “Settings”

Windows users will now see the icons restored to the toolbar. For Mac users there is a few more steps to go. Close out of the extensions page and click the “Extensions Icon” in the toolbar – it’s the one that looks like a jigsaw puzzle piece

Windows 10 Beta Trial “a component of the operating system has expired” error fix

a component of the operating system has expired

I hate Windows……I really really do…….

Long story short, as I am a beta tester for Micro$oft I previously installed a preview version of Windows 10. My life circumstances have changed since, so I haven’t been keeping up with its development, nor have I been updating the brand new HP PC I bought for it.

So today (Some time after the trial version has expired) I turned on the machine……BRICK…….nothing.

Couldn’t boot from disk, couldn’t boot from a USB drive, NOTHING but:

“a component of the operating system has expired”

The bottom line, if you want to reclaim your files and reinstall or upgrade, just boot into BIOS and set the date to JUNE 2015.
