Hi, I’ve been wanting to get one of the older Windows sweaters forever and finally found one on Mercari for an affordable price, so I insta bought it. However, I’ve been looking at some other photos of it online and have noticed the stitching in the neck area/underside looks different. The image the seller used also had the tag mostly out of view (shown above). It still looks pretty high quality, but I feel kinda bad walking around wearing a bootleg. What do y’all think?

I am trying to get videos from my dash cam through an SD Card, once I get in to the sd card the videos are in TS File, don’t know if that matters, and when I click to play the video it says I need a new codec to play this item and it says I need the HEVC Video Extensions. Do I have to pay the money or is there a way around it

So I honestly don't know where to start with this. I recently got a New Laptop and I wanted to see if I can get Paint 3D back on Windows 11. Sadly, you can't redownload it from Microsoft Store manually since it is greyed out.

However, I had a SanDisk USB on me with Win 10 Installation Media and, the Paint 3D Installer File. I put the Installer File from their Site and directed to my USB Drive. Now, I had doubts if this would work after Paint 3D was retired completely and could never be installed ever again.

I decided to do this, insert my Flash Drive into my Laptop and try testing out the Paint 3D Installation File that I left in there. The moment I triggered it, it brought up the Store and holy hell, it actually downloaded the App and everything was Operating just like it was before.

If you folks don't believe me, here's a Screenshot of the Application on my System.

Microsoft said that it can't be redownloaded ever again well, I just did it now.

If you guys want the Paint 3D Installation File, email me at Divine_tech_analysis@yahoo.com

So to those that wanted the Paint 3D back badly, here's your chance now.

Hey all. I have a triple monitor setup. Sometimes I watch videos, movies etc on one of the three. I like to black out my other two. Win+P is a great idea...but bad implementation. If I happen to be watching stuff on Monitor 3, this is fine. I can choose "Show only on Second monitor" and for some reason this disables Monitors 1 and 2 (1 is a second display, 2 is my primary)

But if I choose "Show only on PC Screen" I would assume that would be my PRIMARY monitor, but doing this shows only on Monitor #1 which is my second display, not the primary"

I have no option to display only on the primary. In Display settings I only have the Duplicate on 1 and 3 or Extend, no "Show only on #" options.

Why is this so difficult for Windows?

The only thing I can thing of is it it has to do with which DP my monitors are plugged into on my 4090, but that'doesn't really make sense.

hi!
i made an archive with all the Microsoft Windows Startup and Shutdown sounds (including beta ones)!

drive link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1l-ZyKKoc52d5SfJRlCtu7SXYWj2OJLu1?usp=drive_link

you can tell me if a sound isnt there..

I never understood why the transfer rate breaks in so much. Is there an explanation for that behavior? I am transfering data from an USB DataTraveler onto my SSD.

Hello,

I'm looking for a good PDF reader that supports multiple tabs of the same PDF file. I know there are circuitous methods of doing this in Adobe Acrobat by making a new window. However, I wanted to use an integrated method, such as one in Foxit, which I have used for a long time. However, Foxit for some reason limits the scroll speed and doesn't follow the value set in the Windows settings. Does anyone else have a better program?

I had a friend who posted a running theory that every time his computer performance falls to absolute shit at random, with no visible signs of impact on Task Manager (CPU % low, Disk % low), he's guaranteed to see a "Windows Update Is Ready" type notification inside of an hour or two.

The assumption being that Windows basically stealths the performance impact of the update until it's completed downloading/decompressing.

Is there anything to this? It would explain a number of times I've seen my performance plummet for no discernable reason.

Looking to buy a refurb PC with Windows XP to play old games and avoid piracy (put aside your opinion on that question, please). I found a shop that sells these. Does the following sound like a legitimate way to do a clean install of XP? Thank you in advance.e

Q: How do customers know that the copy of XP you install is legitimate: legal, licensed, and unique?

A: We install Windows XP from a Dell OEM disk with an OEM key. The disk will install an activated version of XP on any Dell that has a COA without prompting for a key.

ETA: I don't mean to ask whether it will work; I mean to ask whether it is above board, legal, not piracy.

ETA2: If it's really as easy to get a legitimate copy of Windows XP as these refurbishers say and as the comments below seem to indicate, why do so many people say that most copies of XP for sale are illegal? And why do screenshots of so many secondhand listings show identical (or nearly identical) key codes for different systems?

Can someone give me an app for windows that removes duplicates images from files? All the ones I find either are too complicated to work with or needs to be bought.

I have seen a lot of questions about using Windows 11 without Windows Hello or a Microsoft account (especially with passkeys becoming a bigger deal). I found this blog that clear things up quit well

TLDR: Windows 11 can be used without Windows Hello or a Microsoft account, but you might need to go via workarounds.

What do you think of potential enforcement of Microsoft accounts to use Windows 11?

J’ai eu le privilège, et l’immense honneur, de pouvoir tester Windows CPC, le nouveau système de Microsoft, qui se destine aux appareils Windows 365 Link et à ses futurs petits copains.

Tout d’abord, je ne souhaite pas faire de déçus, aussi je vous préviens : je n’ai pas pu dépasser l’écran de connexion wifi, du moins pour l’instant. Mais c’est prévu pour bientôt.

Ensuite, j’ai des infos intéressantes. Bien évidemment, je ne vais pas vous apprendre à quoi ressemble son fond d’écran, mais le Thème contrasté, les animations, le détail du Clavier visuel et la RAM techniquement minimale pour faire booter le système, si.

Commençons avec la RAM, justement. Lors de l’installation, Windows CPC veut absolument que je lui octroie 8 go de RAM, sans quoi j’ai droit au message « Ce PC ne peut pas exécuter Windows 11 ». J’ai essayé avec 4 et 6 go, impossible de le duper. J’ai dévouvert par la suite que c’est en fait parce que HyperV n’active pas par défaut le TPM. La configuration que j’ai créée est à l’image du Windows 365 Link : 128 go de stockage, 8 go de RAM, et mon processeur lambda. Le TPM 2.0, le Secure Boot, l’UEFI et tous les termes barbares « windowsonziens » sont activés. Je sais que j’aurais pu mettre 64 go de stockage, mais j’ai l’habitude des 128 go.

L’installation est très rapide, et je dois dire qu’une fois le processus lancé, il se fait très vite oublier, une chose rare pour une VM sur une config bureautique. Le système semble donc réellement plus léger. Cela se confirme aussi à travers les rares menus que j’ai pu explorer. Donc il y a des efforts... Encore heureux pour un client léger ! Cela étant dit, j’en ai une preuve technique convaincante : là où je signalais que Windows 11 24H2 demandait 512 mo de RAM pour booter, ce système, basé lui aussi sur Germanium (Ge_release, en bas), ne demande pour booter que 256 mo de RAM. Mais le résultat est un peu comme sous Windows 10 : tous les éléments de l’UI ne se chargeront pas...

Je ne montre pas ici toutes les étapes, seulement les plus marquantes du processus de test.

Je vous laisse consulter les images. Et j’ai posté une vidéo sur YouTube qui présente tout cela de façon bien plus vivante ! Vous pouvez rechercher « Windows CPC VirtualBox ».

I always remember Windows coming with a sort of ‘Welcome’ video when I was a kid (95, 98, XP). Where it’d kind of show you around… new features and so on. Is there anything like this anymore? If so where is it located?

Hi everyone,

I am going to building a new PC within the next week as I am upgrading my current computer that is reaching the 8 year mark. My current PC is running W10 while my new PC is going to have W11.

I was curious as to if this would work. If I create a system image backup of my current PC and wanted to bring it to the W11 computer, would it work? If so what are some things to consider when doing so? I am presuming it wouldn't be possible due to hardware components being completely different (only having one drive on the new PC) as well as the obvious OS difference.

I would greatly appreciate any advice on this matter. I am totally fine starting from scratch on the new PC, just would like to have a more streamlined process. My current PC I don't believe is able to upgrade to W11 as it says that my system doesn't have the necessary requirements (which makes no sense to me but whatever).

TIA

I’m considering buying a new laptop but I don’t need all the extra stuff that comes with pro. The computer specs are what I want/need, so is there a way I can downgrade from Windows 11 pro to home?

If I spent 140 dollars on windows and attached it to a drive that I used for my pc build, can I reuse that same drive for a different pc build as long as I get another key? Or will I have to spend 140 and redo the entire thing for the separate build?

I am wonder if a kernel level process, specific an anti cheat for gaming that runs at the kernel level, needs to run from startup. Or are you able to add programs into the kernel after startup? It was my understanding that to get something to run at kernel level you need to run it from startup but I have been told that isn't correct so I wanted to check.

If I wanted a clean copy of windows 10 on a flash drive, could i hypothetically reset my pc and then back up the remaining files on to a flash drive and then delete the original ones to completely wipe the original disk it was on or would that cause problems? When formatting my ssd I accidentally made the partition for the windows 10 boot drive really small and it’s caused problems with space, if there’s an easier fix than this I’m all ears I just wanna be able to merge the 2 partitions back to one disk instead of separate partitions on 1 drive.

i also asked copilot to generate the name and image of the 11 os-tan

i removed the background and windows logo in her laptop/tablet

Wanna be able to assign this command, which essentially minimizes any active window to the taskbar, to a single button on the keyboard, as well as to a shortcut button on my mouse (Razer Naga V2).

Tried using Powertoys for this but it won't let me do three-key combinations.

Any other ways you can recommend? Would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
