I can't find it.......
 

OK, so I'm a "techno-peasant". My last laptop was a Lenovo with Windows 10.
Whenever I had to type in my email address, as soon as I typed in the first letter, the rest of my email address would "auto-fill".
My new laptop is an HP with windows 10, but it won't do "auto-fill". I've checked my settings, and there isn't anything I can see to fix this.
Am I doing something wrong, or missing something?

I'd like to auto-fill my email address, and name, address, phone# etc, when filling out forms on my laptop.
Any ideas? Thanks........

Which web browser are you using? There is probably a setting for auto-fill there but it would be in different places for different browsers.

I assume you've used the new computer enough that it has had time to learn your information for auto-fill.

maybe it's a right click under 'options'?

be sure you are using the EDGE windows 10 browser for the internet, and it will ask you to save the usernames, etc every time. . .

also, learn to use google as there isn't an answer for any question that you will encounter that a solution isn't posted somewhere. .

If you are using the Mail application, then the setting will be in the Settings/Preferences for Mail.

If you are using your web browser (Chrome, Explorer, Edge, Firefox, etc) then the setting is in the Preferences for that applications. All modern browsers offer the option to remember and autofill forms you have filled previously with basic information like email address, password, etc.

Or You Tube. But sometimes it's faster to get help from those willing on a public forum. And you can ask those people questions.:)
(I find our son to be faster and better explanatory than Google or You Tube.)

I have used roboform for 20 years to fill in everything!
 

It memorizes ALL of your information and is very secure and encrypted either on your computer or in the cloud. Once I fill in the form with name address credit cards etc. It is a one button push to fill in long forms or passwords. I simply have one master password that I fill in each day at the beginning of my computer session, and it fills in everything after that.

I guess that you are using a local mail client software (e.g., Outook installed on your computer) instead of a web-based client such as Gmail. If true, your auto fill information is on your computer and controlled in your email client’s settings. And if you still have your old computer, you might be able to migrate over the email auto fill information to your new computer. If not, you will start over with your email auto fills with a blank slate.

There’s a lot of ways to accomplish this. You can use LastPass to auto fill, roboforms or even use your browser like edge or chrome. Since this is a new laptop it doesn’t have your info just yet. I bet, once you start using it for awhile that stiff will auto populate.

Sell it and buy a Mac.

Chrome click settings scroll down to àutofill

Replace it with a Chromebook or convert it to a Linux Mint PC, you won't regret it.

When you want an auto fill
hit "ANY KEY"

We need to know if you are using a email client or your web browser. I had that problem with Outlook.
