Windows 11 (a short post)

 

I just got around to updating this computer to use Win-11.  Unlike my laptop which had no prior organization, my former Win-10 desktop had evolved for my comfort, with files being in familiar places. However, Win-11 has tweaked things a little, and I'm finding out where things have moved by doing things such as taking screen snapshots and finding them saved to new places.

Change is inevitable, and I would have liked to remain on Win-10 for a bit longer.  Since I couldn't avoid it, I now have to get used to a slightly different way of interacting with this computer.  Some of the things I must make sure that work are my two printers - one is wired, as that was the only way I could get it to work after a faulty 1st install.  The other is wireless, but I've had problems with it in the past.

So, if I'm a little slow with my posts, it's because I'm getting used to the small changes made to a computer I was totally at home with.

I can relate to the frustration of being forced into an OS upgrade when you weren't quite ready. I had a similar experience moving from Windows 10 to 11 on my main machine, and the little UI changes—like where screenshots save or how the right-click menu works—really threw off my workflow for a while. If you run into any trouble getting those printers to cooperate, especially the wireless one, I found that reinstalling the drivers from the manufacturer's site (not Windows Update) helped a lot. Also, if you ever need a legitimate license key to cleanly activate or reinstall Windows 11 Pro, I got mine from https://universeos.ro/produs/licenta-cheie-activare-windows-11-pro/ and it worked without any issues. Hope you settle into the new system quickly

By now, the election results will be in.

  By now, we will know the results of election day.  Will the Democrats have gained control of Congress? Or, has the GOP manipulated things,...
