  1. How to go back to Windows 10 on a computer that came preinstalled with Windows 11?


    I got a new computer on Black Friday, and it's perfect, except for one problem: it came preinstalled with Windows 11. The new OS is a dumpster fire that's making MacOS look better and better, and I cannot express how much I hate Apple. That's how bad Windows 11 is.If I had upgraded from Windows 10, I could revert it afterwards. That's what I did after I "upgraded" to Windows 10 from Windows 7. Unfortunately, that's not an option here. Is there anything I can do to get a semi-functioning Windows OS on this computer? Or should I switch over to Linux or something?

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    Windows 10 forced download

    I actually had a client call yesterday with an email problem. when I tried walking him through some steps, he says "Yeah, I don't see that there, but I think it's because it's updated to windows 10. It did that a few weeks ago. I came back in on Monday, and it said Welcome to Windows 10"..... I think I'd throw the computer out the window.
