URL Codes Non-Existant

[Richard A Thackeray]

After numerous recent issues with my Desk-Top P, I bit the bullet, & bought a new Lap-Top instead

Unfortunately, my requests for Windows XP were basically laughed at...............so.............. I ended up with a H-P, running Windows 10

Still not sure I like it, but getting used to it
However some features bother me
I've managed to turn the 'touch-pad'/body mouse off & use an external mouse

The main issue, at the moment, is the inability to get a URL code
Such as, when I see a picture in 'Google-Images' & wish to use it to illustrate a point/fill in detail
When I right click,, whereas before I'd see properties on WIndows 7, now there's something about details (&/or) source
On opening it, it just gives half a screen of computer code 'gibberish' (it is to me anyway)


Is there a simple way that a Techno-Luddite, like me can just get the URl?

Please, & thankyou!

Should still be there for Win 10 - If I click say your avatar, I get a full list of options. Which browser are you using ?

I'm running Windows 10 on a laptop.
I just googled for images of bikes, and right clicked, and got this:

Clicking 'copy image address' got me
[clicks paste on CC]

Ah - I see what you mean! About a zilliion lines of gobbledegook!

However you can just copy the image, or even do a screenshot (the PrtSc button allows you to select which bit of the screen).

Are either of those options any use?

(I think this should really be in the Cafe, as it isn't a problem with CycleChat)

Which browser are you using ?

^^This. I think its a browser issue.

It's microsoft edge (the browser that comes with win 10) that is causing your problem, download and install mozilla firefox or opera and problem solved

Its an Id10T fault.

Edge is absolutely pants. I use firefox.

 

[fossyant]

I get 16 options if I right click on an image !

Ought to have added, happens mainly via 'Bing' searches

Browser and possibly an element of search engine then, it's not the O/S per se.
Use FF/Chrome/Opera etc. and google perhaps (other search engines are available.....)

(other search engines are available.....)

I recommend DuckDuckGo. They don't track you.

Its an Id10T browser fault.
