I updated to 24H2 in December 5, 2024 and have had seven updates since then (OS Build 26100.3194). I have another update currently waiting to be installed. I don't recall running into any customizations being changed and everything seems to work just fine. They even fixed a few things and my...

Batteries wear out, even after light use. I have a HP laptop. When plugged in, it always sits at 100% charge. However, I disconnect it from the main supply regularly during the day. Normally, it's good for about 4 or 5 hours. But when it starts to discharge quickly, I simply replace the battery...

I run Office 2007 on my Windows 11 laptop and my Windows 10 desktop. Both systems are fully up to date and all of the office apps work fine. I have been running this way for years. I think that my copy of Office allows for installation on six different machines.

I have a pretty old HP Laptop but as long as it continues to update, I will keep it and use it. My laptop is regularly away from a power source, so I keep an eye on the power. I have it set so that when I close the lid, it goes into hibernate. For me, this works out well because, all of my...

I read your question several time, but I don't understand it. It sounds like you are describing something that has existed for a long time and is readily doable without any extra effort or extra applications. What am I missing? I have been using Windows 11 on my laptop since December 2021 and...

All I can say is that "Office should survive and update to Windows 11". I have been running Windows 11 on my laptop since December 2021. It was originally a Windows 10 system when I bought it, but I don't remember when I bought it. Plus, I run MS Office 2007, that I bought a long ago, before...

Why do you want to stop it? What do you think it's going to do? My Windows 11 laptop updated to 24H2 on December 5, 2024. Since then I have had six more updates. On update just this morning, plust a security update. I haven't had any issues with any of the updates. I think they actually fixed a...

On my Windows 10 Desktop, I just leave it on all the time and let a timeout blank the screen, after some non use. No need to touch the power button to bring the system back to life. However, on my Windows 11 Laptop, I use Hibernate when I close the lid. My laptop travels a bit and is often away...

I am running the latest W11 24H2 and use MS Office 2007. It is listed in my windows menu simply as "Microsoft Office". I only use "Microsoft Word 2007" (*.docx files) and "Microsoft Excel 2007" (*.xlsx files), but they both seem to work just fine. I also have a lot of ".rtf" files that open in...

There are many long time PC users on this forum. My PC use goes back to before Windows. All we had in the beginning was a 8086 running DOS. I still have a old Subnote laptop with Windows 3.1 on it. It has the entire OS, with Office, Turbo-C, GWBasic, and several other things. I can still use it...

I still have a desktop XP machine and the DVD to re-install it. I have a couple of magnetic mount antennas and use the case as a storage device for them. Other than that, it just collects dust. I actually find that my SubNote laptop, with Windows 3.1, to be more useful. It has several useful (to...

Have you tried using "sftp" instead of just "ftp"? I use FileZilla to connect to my web server and I only use "sftp". Works fine for me.

I don't use remote desktop however, I have a W11 24H2 laptop with 8 GB memory and no issues. The process that I see using most of the memory is Chrome, but I expect that. Sometimes I see my disk use to be pretty heavy, but that goes away quickly. I have been using 24H2 since the beginning of...

For me, 24H2 seems to work as good as 23H2. I installed 24H2 on December 5 and an update (KB5048667) on December 12. I have no real issues, just some cosmetic stuff. I use Chrome and MS Office 2007, but I don't use Quicken. I use a lot of other applications and 24H2 doesn't seem to bother them...

The 24H2 update turned up in my update area on December 5. I installed it, along with an update (KB5048667) on December 12. I haven't found any issues with 24H2 except that the calendar had regular numbers and Chinese numbers. I never had that setting. But that was quick to fix, so no problem.
