So poorly designed soup bowls that got smaller....

Got it

This seems kind of bias without any reference to the hacking or the alleged account cancellations.

Are you sure that the GPO is configured for Windows 10?

Which is controlled by the domain functional level.

Likely your domain functional level needs to be upgraded to support windows 10.

@DustinB3403 Well yes when you are on a Wifi network that you use. But without the SIM card your cell phone number will not work.

Not the primary number, this is true.

You could sign up for a free Google Voice number, which is purely Internet Based. And simply pay Google for the cost of any calling minutes used. Texting is free, unlimited.

This would make it a purely WiFi Cell phone.

Do you use SIM cards in the US or is it something different?

I do because I'm not in the US. But by and large, it's hit and miss. Verizon is by far the biggest US carrier and they do not have GSM or SIM cards. The next two biggest carriers, AT&T and TMobile, are GSM and do use SIMs. Smaller carriers are more or less random.

All of our Iphones since the 4s's have had SIM cards in them (yes we are on Verizon).

They dont use them, though, until you travel. It's their international option.

Huh? The phone has a SIM card in it. If you take the SIM card out you have no service of any kind...

You could very easily have WiFi service. . .

Only works with Apple devices... lol

@scottalanmiller if you had a voicemail from a passed loved one, but wanted a new phone, and knew you'd lose that message. Wouldn't you want it saved so you can have it backed up somewhere safe?

No I would not lose it!!! This is a false premise as you know. I would back it up and have it safe, just like the user did here before you began the migration process.

Again, stop saying backup to make it sound like things that work here are not working. The backup is working perfectly.

Scott, again you are looking at this from an Elevated Users point of view. The average end user, will only ever see it as, "oh I guess it didn't work". Or as useless files on their Windows systems.

Backing up a phone to a Windows computer is completely common practice, as is restoring that backup to a new phone.

It's also completely common to say I'd like to save that to my computer so I have it in case I lose/destroy my phone.

Only you yourself are arguing that this is outside of the norm.

Every day do I hear about people needing to "backup" this or that from their phone. The case of the OP in discussion is simply that of a someone who lost their father.

The case is regardless, sure it's emotional, but it's still another case of "I need to back this up so I don't lose it."

Not even in legal cases?

I'd have to call your experience in question if you've never heard of voicemail being subpoenaed.

I've yet to see a Cryptoware variant that exports data off of a victims system.

Please name 1.

This malware needs to act quickly. It doesn't have time to dick around and upload potentially TB or more of data to encrypt it.

Just stop trolling, because you clearly are.
