Edge is same as chrome , or use cntrl - to zoom smaller , cntrl + to zoom larger
 
Hold the Ctrl key down and use your mouse wheel to zoom in or out.

I have been using windows 10 from the days of testing, so will try and explain how to stop cortana taking over.


Prevent Cortana from knowing you
First, let’s head into Cortana’s settings to cut off all the separate ways it monitors your computer habits. Here’s how:

  1. Click the search box or the Cortana icon next to the Start key.
  2. Open Cortana’s settings panel with the gear icon.
  3. In the settings screen, turn off every toggle from On to Off.
  4. Next, scroll to the very top of the settings panel, and click on Change what Cortana knows about me in the cloud.
  5. Microsoft will fetch a page from the Internet called Personal Information in the same Start panel.
  6. When it loads, scroll to the very bottom, and hit Clear.
To serve you better, Cortana collects data about your typing and talking, as well. If you’d like to turn that off, follow these steps:

  1. Hit the Start key.
  2. Click the Settings gear icon.
  3. Select Privacy.
  4. In the left panel, look for Speech, inking & typing.
  5. Click Stop getting to know me.
Remember, turning this off will also disable dictation across Windows 10. If that’s a service you rely on, then you'll have to put up with Windows 'getting to know you'.

youtube shouldn't make a modern pc sound any different to normal, but the adverts are notoriously loud or quiet compared to the video they are attached to.
can you give me a model number for the pc , and i will look and see what it has in it.
if you had said it was flash that was causing problems, i would have said the extra noise was from the graphics card.

dorry to hear that,have a friend with win 10 and she says its so buggy .I even got that microsoftedge program, download and installed without me doing it
as well,I have always use firefox for years and don,t use the others I find it fine for what I,m doing,they say win10 is more like a smart phone layout,the only
thiing that interests me is the free better paint and maybe the 3d file viewing
 
Microsoft Edge is part of the operating system, ( it replaces internet explorer ) , like Safari is part of OSX on Apple Computers.
Edge is now basically a version of Chrome, it's based on chromium, and can happily use chrome plugins/addons etc.
I use Opera, Edge, Firefox, Chrome as we still have badly coded websites that will sometimes fail depending upon browser used.

The problem with the way we buy modern computers is that everything is set up for us, a few clicks once you login the first time and everything is there.
This is because everyone ( according to surveys ) want it that way, where many would be better off if the first screen asked which programs you wanted installed, or which you didn't.
