Do you know what the pink triangle in an Excel cell mean?

  I recently saw a feature in Excel pop-up all of a sudden and asked AI-Chat in Bing. It did not know about. I thought Microsoft is so busy embedding chatGPT that it may have overlooked how far it has embedded the AI features and its access to its own products.

Let me make it brief. I suddenly saw a magenta(some may call it pink) triangle at the corner of an Excel Cell on a page that had some calculations. I don't know for what reason, but I saw a magenta/pink triangle at the right top corner of a cell which gave me to communicate with some party as shown. It was a "prompt" to start a conversation. I just started one and replied to it as well.


I think when I closed it, Excel tried to get to my email. This is probably a feature for the team that uses this feature. 

Then I wanted to ask my newfound friend, the Bing AI-Chat to find out if he knew what this is about. He did not know either.



No big deal, Microsoft is too busy tying loose ends with the new acquisition. 




Why my Windows 10 (x64) Dell Laptop cannot be upgraded to Windows 11?

It is often not possible to foresee the desirable features of a laptop you want to buy. This is true since the software and hardware turnover is fast. Given the innumerable option range in software and hardware, your choice is not easy.

I assumed that I could easily upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11 without sweat. For a time, I faced a problem updating the Windows 10 by running Windows Update and then try upgrading to Windows 11.

The problems with the Windows Update were finally resolved. I then tried to update. At first, I tried to run the Windows PC Health Check which would give me some information as to whether or not I could upgrade to Windows 11.

Here's what I found using Windows PC Health Check



My processor does not meet the requirements. Clearly I need to buy a computer.
