![]() A few software developers have started offering users a check box option for display of the entered password information. All of this causes difficulties with initial password setups in which the entered data are hidden with stars or other characters and one also usually has to enter the new password twice. The Venue does has problems with the unintended character repetitions. Fortunately, the Venue 11 has a large sized virtual keyboard and there is less chance of key selection errors than is true with the small sized displays. Touch screen virtual keyboards are infamous for problems with accidental selections of adjacent keys and unintended character repetitions. There are some advantages to this, but, as others have pointed out, it has some risks. Microsoft encourages the use of a “Microsoft system wide” user name and password. ![]() My recommendation is not to use CAPTCHA in any part of the software. One has to guess about some of the characters, to change to different CAPTCHA selections and to repeatedly attempt a logon. The dim display makes it tough to recognize the alphanumeric characters which may be on angles, overlapping, indistinct and of varying intensity. The “CAPTCHA” step is especially difficult and annoying. ![]() You cannot change the display intensity until after a successful logon. Dell’s default on display intensity is dimmer than is desirable and, at least on this tablet, it is difficult to see the contents of some of the logon fields. Fortunately, it is possible to defer this step which is what we did. It is a typical “cart before the horse” problem. In our case, the connection is by WiFi and there would normally by no way to initiate this without having been logged on to a running version of the OS. The update requirement depends on an operational connection to the Internet. The first tasks on initial start-up of the OS are to check for updates and to provide logon information. There was no requirement for user responses during the process. The installation process was quick, there were no error messages or any obvious problems. It was very nice to be able to preserve the current application programs and drivers and to do the installation from “inside of” the old OS. This was an unusual experience for me because the typical requirement is to do a clean install from a bootable device that is read on computer power up. The Windows 10 installation asks if one wishes to keep the existing application programs, drivers and other current files. Windows Explorer was used to display the USB files and to select and execute “Setup”. The Rufus generated USB Memory Card was inserted into the Venue’s USB 3.0 port.
