Windows 10: What is the truth on How Many Characters You Are Allowed in W10 or W11 for files or folders?

For names of files, or the combined names of folders buried in other folders: what is the truth on How Many Characters You Are Allowed in W10 or W11.I heard the limit was 260 characters, but you could with a registry change make it a lot longer. But is that really doable? Is it true?

Text Files Register 0 Bytes even with 90K Characters, Cannot E-mail

Sometimes it's as simple of clicking the Name at the top of the column in Details view then click it again to get the list refreshed. Also usually works to close and open File Explorer and navigate to the folder that contains the file. Keep in mind that a folder cannot contain 2 files of the exact same name, one has to be at least one character different. And possible to open a file in the program used to create it, see if there's actually anything in it. Also possible to open that program then File, Open and see it's listed.

 

How to transfer W10 License to W11

I stupidly thought that if I was going to have a new PC, I might as well put W11 on it and, as I mentioned, having had problems which could not be solved with one PC when I upgraded from W7 to W10, I got afraid of having something similar happen when switching from W10 to W11, silly of me I guess, especially now that I find out that W11 is still half baked with (luckily until now) small problems that are more irritating than crimpling. I actually blew a couple of dollar on an additional 1TB SSD-M2 yesterday to do just what you suggest and I feel like a fool for buying W11.

 

W10 and W11 bluescreens

We have a number PCs that are bluescreening on a regular basis, both on W10 and W11. I'm looking at one now and the event ID is 1001, it has also produced a minidump file which means nothing to me.

Can anyone help with this please, I've attached a link to the minidump below:
