@clarachan1355 most of the bugs got fixed on 10. just disable most of the settings (vids on youtube show how) to make sure they're not spying on you.*

The only way I know is getting an HDMI cable. I tried doing it by flashdrive before but I would have to format the flashdrive which will delete all my movies and files from it. So, just stick with what everyone else has said and use an HDMI cable.

I had a few problems with my desktop it is a hdmi and my tv is a hdmi but my tv would flicker every time I would close or open a program even a browser. And it was annoying so I got a vga to vga to stop it and the vga to vga had the sound cables attached. The only thing I needed to worry about was the channels. HDMI1,2,3, and then pc. Maybe the cable did not work because it was on the wrong channel or something.
