Monitor your Data usage in Windows 10

Windows 10 is a worldwide operating system, Microsoft has built in some data-monitoring tools for users with a limited data connection.

Desktop users probably don't need to concern themselves with network data usage, but tablet and laptop users may find these tools helpful.

See how much data you're using

Basic overview of your network usage, you can open up the Settings menu and go to Network & Internet and click Data usage.

Set up a Metered Connection

If you don't want Windows to automatically download large updates (including app updates), you can set your Wi-Fi connection to "metered."

•   Go to Settings > Network & Internet > Wi-Fi, scroll down to the bottom of the list of Wi-Fi networks.
•  click Advanced options.
• In the Advance options menu, you 'll see an option to turn Set as metered connection on or off.

Data-Saving Tips

Simply limiting your connection isn't enough to really save data -- while it means you won't get big Windows updates until you connect to a non-metered connection, apps will still run and sync in the background.

You can turn off background activity for individual apps (again, only native Windows 10 apps on this list) by switching the toggle next to the app to Off.

You can also save some data by disabling unnecessary syncing -- specifically, Windows 10's settings syncing, which syncs your Windows 10 settings across devices.

To do this, go to Settings > Accounts > Sync your settings and switch Sync settings to Off.

Why ‘C’ Is The Default Drive Of Windows Computer Instead Of A or B ?

The drives beyond C are labeled D, E, and so on. Additionally, if you plug in your USB flash drives you will get F and G drive. So, what about A and B?

In early generations, computers didn’t have huge internal storage systems. In fact, hard disk drives became standard since 1980. Before hard disk drives, floppy disk drives were used as the storage devices

Floppy Drives

Floppy disk drives are the primary storage devices that came to existence since 1960. At that time, floppy disk drives came in two sizes 5 1/4″ and 3 1/2″. These two drives were labeled as Local Disk (A) and Local Disk (B).

As we mentioned earlier, in 1980, hard disk came into existence and it gradually became the primary source for storage systems in computers and it was labeled with Local Disk (C) because Local Disk (A) and Local Disk (B) were already assigned to floppy disks.

Now, Floppy disks are outdated. So, Local Disk (A) and Local Disk (B) are not seen anymore in Windows operating system. Users can change the labeling order to start from A or B by going through Disk management option.
