May 6, 2014 at 13:55 comment added barlop You can use the word 'if' in an answer. If you have this. If you have that. For some reasonably common situations, or if you want, all variations of general case. Though indeed.. they don't like general questions here that much and such a general question may be rejected or clarification requested. I've sure i've answered a general question before and had an answer accepted while others are moaning for more information. Sometimes a general answer is all they need and they can fill in the blanks for their specific case. Remember that too specific can be rejected too.
May 6, 2014 at 13:53 comment added barlop It may be rejected for being too general but.. it can be answered IMO. I used a great program to analyze a slowdown in booting XP. It's a reasonable answer to say "The following program works for XP, and may work for Windows 7. " You can just answer with answers as good as you know for some popular operating systems. They may well be a HUGE enthusiast, that isn't just interested in their particular laptop. If they want something very specific, then tough, they ask a general question, they don't get an answer just for one specific thing.
