I have WinXP games, especially for Solitaire, on a couple of computers with Win10 and they also work on Win11. I have Win7 games on Win10 and Win11 because I like its MahJongg game.
Mine:
Usually checking with https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us with the Express Service Code [on a sticker or maybe in the BIOS] will describe what the machine shipped with.
Yes, they were. My latest some years ago is an AMD Phenom II X4 965 with Win10 Pro. It's not in use now as I was given a Dell Precision with XEON CPU and 16GB RAM running Win10 Pro.
I only use the Portable version of CCleaner [originally called CrapCleaner], doesn't automatically update and I never leave anything on the clients' machines.
It was possible back then but don't know if it still is, no surprise if it's not now. Some of the older computers work good with versions of Linux, I Linux Mint on one and works good, just doesn't...
I have an 8TB Buffalo LinkStation NAS drive connected to my Router via Ethernet cable running 2 x 4TB drives as RAID 1 for 4TB total storage and can Map the Public folder I created on it from any...
I did a Dell Inspiron on March 29, 2024 from activated Win8.1 to Win10 and it activated okay, just did the latest updates on it yesterday.
I finally got rid of my WinXP machine [kept parts that could be reused] but am retaining the Win7 Desktop. Just for reminiscing I've kept an old white Toshiba Satellite with MS-DOS 6 and Win3.1 that...
Getting around the BIOS password is difficult on a Notebook/Laptop. On a Desktop motherboard one can pull the CMOS battery out to discharge the User-available data including the passwords [yeah,...
An inexpensive $175 HP Notebook I got in Dec. came with Win11 Home and a 1-year subscription to Microsoft 365 subscription.
And how many years ago was SaaS {Software as a Service] being talked about and by extension WaaS [Windows as a Service] and how many of the larger programs are offered as Subscriptions now?
I did a test this morning with an External USB ODD and using File Explorer to copy more than 6GB to a DVD+R/DL disc. I just selected a mix of Folder and files and dragged them to the ODD used File...
It's very possible that is normal, frequently newer software doesn't work on older machines. I've had better success with older programs on newer versions of Windows such as Microsoft Office 2000 on...
What I posted on another forum, same type subject:
Part of what I see is the A:\, traditionally that was for the floppy disk drive when present. Sometimes the BIOS won't let that be any other use. I haven't had any issue with an older version of...
Where I see a possible issue in gaming is seeing a gun firing on the left of the screen but the sound of the shot is on the right. That may be something the developer/programmer can deal with.
To support computers without an ODD and to test those with an ODD but having issues I use an LG External USB 2 ODD that cost a whopping $26US at Wal*Mart back in February, no drivers needed beyond...
Just a thought:
add adobe acrobat to chrome at DuckDuckGo
I download various versions of Linux for creating LiveUSB Thumb/flash drives to boot for checking hardware and run their included programs such as LibreOffice, Firefox and media player. They usually...
The mention of network begs the question of the connection such as via the Ethernet or USB or Wireless. I have a LaserJet M148 connected via cable to my Wireless Router and no issues adding it to...
My Microsoft Account uses the first 5 characters of the E-Mail Account I used when setting up the computer, not the display name I chose. When I later added a Local Account it assigned the User name...
I forgot to say that my Desktops are on UPS' so power bumps that cost me a motherboard over 20 years ago are not a thing.
I have Dell and HP computers, some Win10 and some Win11, running with the default settings [as when first set up] and not experiencing any issues.
