Windows 10: Simple questions and Help thread - Week of January 28, 2024

Welcome to the weekly Simple questions and Help thread, for questions that don't need their own posts!

Before making a comment, we recommend you search your problem on Bing and check if your question is already answered on our Windows Frequently Asked Questions wiki page. To get help with your PC, you can also make a post next Monday using the "Tech Support" flair or use r/TechSupport and r/WindowsHelp.

Some examples of questions to ask:

• 
  Is this super cheap Windows key legitimate? (probably not)
  
  
• 
  How can I install Windows 11?
  
  
• 
  Can you recommend a program to play music?
  
  
• 
  How do I get back to the old Sound Control Panel?
  

Sorting by New is recommend and is the default.


Be sure to check out the Windows 11 version 22H2 Launch Megathread and also the Windows 11 FAQ posts, they likely have the answers to your Windows 11 questions already!
