You did the right thing.
Calls unrequested telephone of this nature are almost always a common scam. Do not let them give any info, do not give access to your PC, not give them all the money and do not go to all the websites that they suggest. One moment.
Please see:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/security/online-privacy/msname.aspx .
Microsoft issues never not solicited for phone calls of support or security.
These types of callers can use completely fictitious names or bogusly claim to be of real companies other than Microsoft as well.

I called the phone number of microsoft on the site and they said that they did call people
I found the phone number on the Microsoft web site and called them. They said that they hear and started trying to sell it again for me. I'm confused.
Hello
What phone number and what site please.
And read this information;
Microsoft does not contact you unless YOU have made prior arrangements with them to do.
There is an article in the link I'm you provide at the end of this one
Read this Information from Microsoft:
"Avoid scams to phone for tech support.
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/online-privacy/avoid-phone-scams.aspx
Don't be fooled of unsolicited calls. Don't provide personal information.
Here are some of the organizations that cyber criminals claim to come:
Helpdesk Windows
Windows repair center
Microsoft technical support
Microsoft technical support
Windows Support Group Technical Department
Microsoft Research and Development Team (team of Microsoft R & D)
Either these so-called "Microsoft" Tech companies want to sell you a worthless software, or remote access to your computer to try to steal your credit card and bank information and also achieve an identity theft on you.
See you soon.

I bought Adobe CC through my University, but once I started to install update 2015 yesterday, he said that I only had trials for programs like After Effects and Speedgrade. I am unable to redeem a subscription, because it was a continuous single thing of educational personnel. What should I do?
Thank you for your help. I spoke with one of your customer service representatives, and the question seems to have been based on accounts. I think it is resolved.

When I asked how I could be sure who they were they led me to a screen with a ref to no error report. and he cites correctly for me. When I was asked to sign up for control of my computer for them to correct these errors, I refused and hung up.

LR6, Win10. The photos that have been imported do not show upward in the destination folder. Folder had been created within LR. Deleted the folder in LR and re-created. Tried to import again, but can not, as LR said that they have already been imported. Now the pictures do not exist on my PC, by searching via the Win10 File Explorer. How to re-import these photos? I still have them on the external hard drive, I tried to import original.
Most likely, you accidentally imported the photo to a different folder than the one you wanted.
Because you see the photo in "Previous import", I think you'd have to reconnect the external hard drive, then move (drag / move, entirely in Lightroom) or photos to the desired folder.
