Is there still any hope to use tiny 11 23h2 on my core 2 duo p8700? Can I stop it from updating to 24h2 premenantly?

I swear that windows is looking like Mac. Windows 11 centred the tab, and made everything simplistic. Why is Microsoft doing this? Microsoft is killing everything that is loved about windows. Does anyone else feel this?

ive got win10 LTSC so photoviewer is not available. i tried getting replacement from the microsoft app store but each one I tried is worse than the other and the only one that look decently ok can't be associated to open automatically with images ( manual assosciate will result in an error, app name is photo view)

all the others called something + photoviewers are not good since you can't scroll (sideways) through the other images.

in short i want something like the win 7 viewer or the default win 10. I can't get the default win 10 one it tells me

thanks in advance

Okay, I might get some flak for this but Microsoft is planning on killing Windows 10 anyway next year, for the sake of making some extra money. If they were going to make Windows as a subscription service, why wouldn't yearly security subscriptions be a good idea? You could keep countless PCs out of the landfill that still work perfectly and snappily on 10, and they don't take a hit to their bottom line as you pay a (hopefully low) fee to keep security.

Would that work/ would you do it?

I'm tired of having to run iOS on my phone and Windows on my computer, especially when iOS refuses to make any of its stuff available outside Apple hardware. My wife likes Android phones, but again, I'll have to keep up with constant problems and solutions for two completely different operating systems. Would love links or recommendations for pages that do a good review of current Windows phones and how they compare to other current phones.

It's crucial x6 external ssd 1 TB

Hi all. I'm looking to update to Win11 at some point as Win10 will be losing its support next year. I want to take the opportunity to make a dual-boot setup as my friends play games like LoL and Valorant so I'm looking for ways to isolate the game's heinously invasive anti-cheat software. Since it runs at kernel layer and requires to be active from boot, the only way I can think to isolate it is to run two, encrypted, and separate Windows installs. I'm 50/50 on running the gaming install on an external SSD or one of my smaller internal ones.

Does anyone have experience with dual booting encrypted windows installs and could give me some advice on setup options and potential issues I could run into? Thanks in advance!

I have a few training video's that I would like to add computer voice audio to rather than me droning on. Are there any tools that can add a voice to a video if I created the transcription first. I was hoping OBS may do it but I cannot see an option?

Hi all,

Time for me to either update to v.8 with Macrium Reflect (I'm still on 7 with a paid license) or jump ship and go to Veeam. I thought this was a no brainer as Veeam seems great, clean, easy, and best of all free. So obviously I wanted to run a test first and did a complete backup of my 1 TB and 2 TB disks and restored them, first with Veeam, which failed due to needing a Microsoft Account login which didn't work no matter what I tried (even deleting the account altogether with Hiren Boot). Obviously I put in the correct details for my MS account, but many others have had this problem as well (not with Veeam specifically, but in general) and it seems to be related to old passwords. MS hasn't done anything to address this.

Anywat, Veeam still seems incredibly impressive. It's a giant Co and tens of thousands of users for backing up Win can't be wrong. Yet Macrium is thought to be more realiable, and to be fair, my Macrium restore went off without a hitch, ie restored no problem.

Thoughts? Any satisfied or dissatisfied Veeam or Macrium users out there? I'm wondering if I should use both just for double protection. Of course I'll have to delete my MS acct. Who cares.

When I clicked the button it brought up the widgets with the weather, market, etc. widgets though there is no news widget or any reference to what "Immediate dange..." was referring to.

Any idea what it was referring to? A game or something?

I use PopOS as my daily driver, but want to transition to windows. The thing I love about PopOS is automatic tiling, I can pull the tab from chrome and the tiling manager do the job.

I am just wondering if there is something similar in windows.

I found that I'm able to lock folders and the files they contain behind a password. The remaining question is can someone without the password still delete that folder with all the secures files in it?

I'm seeing answers thru Google search talking about removing the lock either using the pw, or third party software - but nothing specifically answers that question for me. Shared device working on personal legal matters with fear of such action possibly happening assuming those affected get a hair up their butt and decide they want to reset a years worth of progress.

Hi there,

I just left Ubuntu (too unstable) to switch to a more serious OS which is Windows what do you advise to a guy who comes from ubuntu?

MonkeysPeanuts.com just randomly popped up under my recently added panel and when I went to uninstall it, it just didn't show up So I was wondering what is it?

I'm looking for some guidance. I have a Windows server that hosts an application that does not support HA. However, I could set up a second server with the same configuration and put an HA server in front of it. One will be primary, and one will be secondary. Is there an application that can help me with this? I am looking for open source at the moment.

Thank you for your advice

Ok, I am not going to write the whole text I had before, instead just this:

I want an entire image backup of my system drive (all drivers, (windows,) and EVERYTHING) (excluding my game folder would be great but that's not a must) (that I can rather easily restore as well). The catch: I want to do it without external software but just internal/included windows tools (or if really necessary non included download software by Microsoft).

I am not looking for an 'just click backup' tool (which would be great but yeah..) but for any way of doing this - like writing a simple script or doing it via cmd or anything with or without an ui.

Robocopy is allegedly not suited for this. If so, is this because of running processes or why?

Windows 7 Backup and Restore is what I've used up until now but given it's not officially supported anymore I was starting to wonder if there's anything that would not be included (today or generally) in those (image or other) backups? If several people examined this to the core and tell me (or anyone wondering about using this any longer) that everything was included then I may just keep using that of course.

....

I guess, just as my research has made me think; there is no official microsoft statement on this kind of stuff (except the ~'use our wonderful cloud backup that only saves some of your stuff and only in our account cloud storage')?!

(Couldn't find a suiting question in the depths of reddit or similar so I am asking this now)

P.S: How about the recovery stick? It's still supported?! But that does not include drivers etc?! Otherwise one would only have to back up everything except that ~~ .

Iam looking for a software to record my lectures on trams so i need also audio. You Have any recomendations?
