That’s great news for the 1 billion+ Windows 10 users, but what if your PC won’t let you install the update? One of the most common reasons Microsoft blocks the installation of an update is a lack of free storage space. All new versions require some capacity on the hard drive (or SSD), while the 20H2 update needed at least 32GB free. If left unchecked, this could leave you unable to download the big ‘ Sun Valley’ update or patch a potentially serious bug....

Pacquaio remains one of the legends of the modern sport, but father time is certainly taking his toll as the Phillipino fighter’s performances have started to slow down in the past few years. His opponent Lucas Matthysse is the current holder of the WBA welterweight title and will certainly be no easy challenge. Although Matthysse is past his prime, he is a fearsome power puncher, and some are wondering what Pacquiao has to gain from such a contest....

HP 255 G4 review: Price The sweet spot for a good laptop with a tolerable display, quick components and respectable build quality is still around £500 or more. If that’s more than you’d rather pay, there are plenty of options below £300 such as this AMD-powered HP laptop for £269.99, supplied for review by Ebuyer. And since there’s £30 cashback (at the time of posting), it’s an even more affordable £239....

Also see: Best Black Friday Printer Deals We’d be hard pushed to disagree with that claim, as the DeskJet 3720 measures just 140mm high, 403mm wide and 180mm deep as you lift it out of its box. You’ll need an extra couple of inches for the 60-sheet paper tray that folds out of the back of the printer, but you can certainly sit it on a desk or shelf at home without taking up too much space at all....

We’re pleased that the Desire brand, introduced way back in 2010, is still here. The trouble, perhaps, is that there’s just as much competition at the low-end of the market as there is at the top-end. More recent players like Honor are tricky to beat so let’s see if HTC can compete. HTC Desire 12+: Price and availability As we’ve already mentioned, there’s some tough competition at this price range....

You’ll be able to get your hands on the new HTC One M9 at the very end of the month: it will be released on 31st March. The firm hasn’t announced a price but we expect that it will have a typical flagship Android price, which is currently around the £549 mark. When matching storage, like-for-like we expect the iPhone to be more expensive (the HTC One M9 has 32GB onboard)....

HTC unveiled the current flagship U12+ on 23 May 2018, shipping in late June. As you’ll read in our review of this phone we were rather unimpressed, and feared HTC no longer had what it took to keep up with its rivals in the flagship market. It was followed later in the year by the Exodus 1, a blockchain phone that was in essence just the U12+ again, but with some re-engineered software, and the mid-range HTC U12 Life....

Huawei Ascend G7 review: Price and availability You can buy an Ascend G7 right now, but it’s not yet widely available which means prices could drop quickly from the circa-£200 they are now to as low as £150. The price makes the Ascend G7 cheaper than the OnePlus One and around £50 cheaper than the Google Nexus 5. It’s roughly £50 more expensive than the 2nd Gen Moto G, and the same price as the new Acer Liquid Jade Z and HTC Desire 620....

MWC takes place at the end of February and looks to reveal a wide range of innovation across the smartphone industry, which will hopefully signal the end of notches and the lack of headphone jacks being the main talking points when it comes to smartphone design.

Price and availability The iPad 2018 now starts at just £319/$329 making it the cheapest full-size iPad to date – it’s normally £399. The new price gets you a Wi-Fi only model with 32GB of storage. You can order it from Apple, of course, but it’s also available from John Lewis, Argos and Currys in the UK and Best Buy and Walmart in the US. The new iPad price seems even better when we compare it to the iPad Pro which used to come in 9....
