Windows 95 was originally launched on August 24, 1995 and received critical acclaim. It introduced key concepts that are still used by Windows, like the taskbar and the Start menu.

This is definatly from windows Tablet PC edition remember that was a thing when windows first came on tablets. Yeah windows 8 wasnt the first attempt to run windows on tablets infact it was the Tablet PC Edition of windows that was microsoft's first attempt at running windows on a tablet

So I work at a job and I like to do work on my personal laptop from home, but I also work on the work computer. I have a folder with multiple documents (excel, ppt etc.), images and other stuff. How can I sync it so every time I make a change on any computer, I can open it on the other computer the next day? My file ends up pretty big at the end of the year (so I need smth long term) so Google drive is not an option for me. I want smth free because my work will not cover and I don't want these expenses.

I scanned some of the recent posts here. Some of the posts sounded to me like the kind of thing that might be considered tech support, but apparently are not.

I'd appreciate any insight.

I want to know who has the pc power to do windows in windows in windows in windows…200000x times

so i have a bunch of pictures that i want to sort into different folders on file explorer. but i want to be able to see each picture in photos or some sort of app then click a hotkey to easily designate it to a certain folder

Because i love this wallpaper and i haven't seen it in high resolution, i've decided to make one and post it here if anyone wants it!

This question has been asked many times before. The answer is always "Don't do that".

I'm trying to consolidate a lifetime of old hard drives. I'll normally organize my files on a separate D: (Data) drive, but many Windows programs want to save in their own default locations. Sometimes there's not even an option. The rest of my family will always accept the default. Rather than attempt to locate and extract any potentially important data, it's easier to delete what I don't need (.exe, .dll, .sys, .cab, etc.) in order to reduce space. At least this preserves the folder structure.

Ideally, I would set all the permissions on the legacy drive to Everyone. I can almost do that. However, the SYSTEM folder/files are now seemingly impossible. I'm currently running Windows 11 10.0.26100. When I go to change permissions on an (inactive/retired) SYSTEM object, the options are either grayed or will jump to gray as soon as I click on the [Change] button. There's got to be a way?

I've never used more than 1 desktop in my daily use of my laptop or older windows computer, what is their functionality? how do you use them or do you never use them?

In the description says he got it from heidoc. Heidoc is use official ms links and not shady sites, he really got it from heidoc?

help me out gng

Hello, thank you very much for taking your time to help me, it’s very kind of you

I have a little problem

I bought a new PC for my mother so that she can work in better conditions and I would like to transfer her entire HDD to an external HDD which I would like to use to start Windows and copy all its files, (there is an SSD but much too small to clone the HDD (64GB...)), it is important that she does not have to do anything on it (connect to all it is software)

Is it possible to start and use Windows on an external hard drive?

Both PCs have a Windows 10 license

My mother's current PC is a 1TB HDD laptop.

The new one is a 64GB SSD desktop PC that I would like connected to as said just before the 1TB external HDD too

Thank you very much for your time and your kindness ❤️

Imagine you have folder A and folder B, folder A contains in it folders 1, 2 and 3; folder B also contains folder called 1, 2, 3; for reference I'll call them A1, A2 A3 for folder and B1, B2, B3 for folder B; is there anyway to combine folder A and folder B (Or their contents) in a way that folder A1 combines with B1, A2 combines with B2 and A3 combines with B3?

In this context I call "combining" moving all files from folder A1 to B1 and all files with repeated name get overwritten by the folder A1 file.

we suppose both A and B have other folders that are not repeated between them and the same for folders like A1 with B1, A2 with B2, A3 with B3...

Or do I have to do by hand 969 folders?

Fresh install of Windows 11 -- first time using Windows in a long time. The installer offers to restore from a backup from 2017 and 2018. How do I remove these? I went to the usual places like "All Devices" in OneDrive/Microsoft Store - no joy. Still appears there. I can't for the life of me remember how to do this.

The below article from 2004 states unpatched Windows XP gets compromised in about 20 minutes after connecting to the Internet. Many people had dial up or slow broadband at the time and I remember taking hours to get updates following a clean install from CD, which was likely over a year or two old. There would often not have been a router to do NAT. Also you often had to do Windows Update manually after connecting to the Internet, further causing a delay.

I use PDFGear to study, but I want to keep Microsoft Edge as my default PDF reader so that unnecessary PDFs don’t show up in PDFGear’s recent files. I just open PDFGear and my main files are there, and I open them directly from there. I’m not sure if windows has recognized it as the app I use often, or what, but it keeps changing my default PDF reader to PDFGear.

Yeah, if you read the title, I am pretty mixed on Windows 11, despite it improving each time, I find Windows 11 to be clunky, and not satisfying to use, while how it looks, is something I can praise, except for the centered taskbar, thankfully it can be fixed. And how it runs on my PC, is something I also criticize. To put it nicely, 11 on my low end PC that was manufactured in 2021, Windows 11 ran like garbage. So I had options, I switched over to Linux, which I found to be bland as time went on, and I switched back to Windows 10. Now that the support date is upon us, I now have two options, accept the security risks and more vulnerability, or switch over to Windows Server 2022. So yeah, I will probably do that.
