OLED stands for "organic light-emitting diode" while QLED stands for "Quantum Dot LED" (according to Samsung). Quantum dots are extremely small semiconductors that backlight a Liquid Crystal Display. Many people think "QLED" was a label intentionally chosen to look similar to "OLED", despite not being the same technology.

If you are using Windows 10, you will need to upgrade to the new version 1909 soon. Version 1803, which came out Spring 2018, is already going out of support!

Even though you may not be able to discern the differences in 1909 (or use the new features), the security patches are the most important aspect of this situation.

By formatting your device to factory settings, it can help prolong the life of your device/computer and keep it running fairly quickly.

When sending private information online, it is best to avoid doing so through email as the email servers between your email provider and the other person's are not that secure. However if you need to send private information via email, Leo recommends zipping your file content and sending them the password to access the zipped content through another means such as phone via text message.
Other services that you can use to send such highly confidential information are FireFox Send or ShareFile!
