Setting up virtual machine running an older Windows version
I'd like to try running virtual machines with Windows XP, 95, and 3.11 to access old software that no longer runs in Windows 10 - Things not even compatibility modes will run. Anyone have some guides for that?
Compiled FYIs, Suggestions & Recommendations - OS & Edge
In no particular order: * Use Applications window (>Run > shell:AppsFolder)โ๐ค๐๐๐โญโญโญโญโญ * Pin Settings icon to Taskbar * Have Storage Sense ON * Set Edge Dev as DWB (because it has neat things GA doesn't ๐) * Don't put 3rd Part securities or firewalls in Win10 * Let Win+X be your good friend. Learn the K/B shortcuts * Have File Explorer > This PC (> Folder Options, change from Quick Access to This PC) * A. Edge ad blocker ON B. Edge pop-up blocker ON C. Edge Tracking Prevention to Strict * Start can be without tiles * A. Desktops can be icon-free B. Employ Desktop toolbar (Rt clk taskbar > Toolbars * A. USE VIRTUAL DESKTOPSโ๐๐ B. >Settings > Multi-tasking Set Vitual desktops to: 1. Taskbar - Onthe one I'm using 2. Alt+Tab - ALL Desktops * Grab Notepads from Store. MUCH better than Notepadโ * Check Store for Updates * DO NOT EVER turn a "Production machine" into an Insider machine. โญ โโ Run Insider Builds as virtual machines, Dual-boots or on a "Spare box"โโโญ * Middle Clking taskbar icons opens another instance. * Run MSRT occasionally Win+MRT * Set PrtScn to work Snip & Sketch ( > Settings & type Prt in Search ) * Edge can have vertical tabs & no title bar. Recommended * Recommended Edge Extensions: 1. Microsoft Bing Quick Searchโ ๐๐ 2. Microsoft Editor๐๐๐๐๐ 3. Print Friendly & PDF 4. Scroll to Top 5. Office 6. Peapix New Tab Backgound from Chrome Store. Allows 100% clean photo, can even shut off search bar. Optional; Bing page is damn nice, too. * Areo Clock is a great addition - https://theaeroclock.en.lo4d.com/windows * Make use of Collectionsโ * Make sure you keep everything 100% currentโ * DO NOT connect a Win7 machine to the Net ๐ * DO NOT use IE or Edge HTML * Grab Windows Terminal from Store, NOWโ๐๐ <-- It's SO cool & coming to Win10 by default, SOON. I'll probably think of more soon as I hit Post ๐, Murphy's Law ๐คฃ Cheers, Drew

How Do You Learn About Windows 10 Best?
Hello all, I have a genuine question that has no right or wrong answer. How would you learn to use your computer better? It doesn't matter the device, the operating system, or how long you've had it. Simply put, everyone learns differently and at their own pace, what format or style of learning works best for you? I'm a Microsoft trainer and have been providing computer training at all levels for years. As much as I love the job security of being needed... the ultimate goal is to make Windows 10 easy to use and navigate without support. So, do you learn best from step-by-step instructions in a clickable demo?Perhaps that's too time consuming and you'd prefer a quick notification with basic instructions? Do we appreciate links to support pages or pop-up instructions? Has the time finally come to bring back everyone's favorite digital assistant Clippy? What do you perceive as helpful versus intrusive? So please, take a second to sound off and thank you for your feedback!
