If you’re looking for a way to block spam messages from Gmail for Android, it’s important to first differentiate between spam messages and those emails from companies you have perhaps unwittingly authorised to send you marketing information at some point in the past.

Although Windows will download the installation files for the update, it will refuse to install it and display a message saying: “Windows 10 is no longer supported on this PC. Uninstall this app now because it isn’t compatible with Windows 10.” Windows 10 was offered as a free upgrade for a lot of 2-in-1s which originally came with Windows 8 around 2012-2014.

It only works with emails sent from a Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft 365 account, with the recipient also using either of those services....
