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...

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 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.

Just a curiosity, Microsoft 365 has a new Font family of Aptos, shows in Word but not in Win11's Fonts.

The limit with FAT32 on Windows is 32GB and single-file size of 4GB. A lot depends upon the BIOS and whether booting MBR or GPT/UEFI. For cleaning up Win10 computers I use the MCT/Media Creation...

I have a 8TB NAS with RAID 1 [4TB storage] on my LAN instead of using the cloud.

I still have a Win10 Desktop with a 3.5" floppy drive that works but it mostly to fill the hole in the front of the case. And I still have the floppies for MS-DOS 6.2 and Win 3.11 along with a...

Same here, have LG and Lite-On External USB drives for use on Notebooks and Desktops without the internal ODD.
