in place upgrade buggy?
hi, I tried an in place upgrade on my device but got a message stating: You can't keep Windows settings, personal files and apps your current version of Windows might be installed in an unsupported directory. Tried some method of fix but to no avail. Anyone facing the issue? I have read from here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-windows_install/windows-10-repair-upgrade-not-working/4551adb8-0f07-4ec5-ace0-00c59a8b11be that it could be a bug. Can someone confirm or let Microsoft know? By the way, for my other post, https://community.windows.com/en-us/conversations/in-place-upgrade-of-win-10-vs-re-installation-of-win-10/98cba04d-f266-4f43-b6e9-a3a734dac0c8 it shows 3 responses, but when I went to see all conversations, it only state 2. Bug there?
Using High Contrast Mode
Having difficulty reading what's on the screen? Have low vision? On Windows 10, you can use high contrast to make text on the screen easier to read. To turn high contrast on, press LEFT ALT + LEFT SHIFT + PRINT SCREEN. If you want to change the high contrast theme: 1. Press WINDOWS LOGO + U. 2. Click "High contrast." 3. Select the high contrast theme. TIP: You can make your own high contrast theme if none of the default high contrast themes work perfectly for you. You can swap out the affected colours if you have some form of colour blindness. Here's how: 1. Press WINDOWS LOGO + U. 2. Click "High contrast." 3. Select one of the coloured rectangles under the "Choose a theme" dropdown menu. You can modify the colour of the following screen elements: - Text - Hyperlinks - Disabled Text - Selected Text - Button Text - Background 4. Click on the colour picker palette and make adjustments to the colour's brightness using the slider under the palette. When satisfied, click "Done." 5. Click "Apply" to save any colour changes. To turn high contrast off, press LEFT ALT + LEFT SHIFT + PRINT SCREEN.

So hard to use the search function in File Explorer of 1909
Hi, I am a so old Windows user since Windows 3.2. I found it so hard to use the updated search function in File Explorer of 1909. 1. In 1903 and earlier, I click the search box, the search ribbon tool appear immediatelly, and I can modify the search options, like search by time/size and/or other properties. In 1909, the search ribbon tool does not come out immediatelly, I have to type something before the tools appear, and delete what I have typed to search all the files with just the modified option. It is not satisfied. 2. When I click the search box, the history list does not jump out smoothly. Sometimes it has no response, no input icon, I have to close the file explorer window, which is quite annoying. 3. The appear of address and search box are changed, they look taller than before, I perferde the slim design.
Disappointed = still blocked for Window 10 2004 May update
Dperessed that only 1 of 5 devices I own has updated to Windows 10 2004. Frustrating that I stil can't even find out what the block reason is. Pathetic that on the conexant sounds cards (my best guess for my thinkpad blocks) that billion dollar corporations (Microsoft and Synaptics [who bought connexant] can't fix a sound driver in more than 2 months (it's 2 months since the block - presumably the problem was already known for the block). Even worse, they can't be bothered to to provide any kind of news since the original text posted onMay 27 - you press the "LearnMore" button on Windows Update and learn nothing at the next to useless dashboard. "Investigating" for 2 months is just sad. I have used Windows for a while - I was present at the UK launch and have never been so disappointed. Ironically, on one ofmy devices I never even use the Conext sound - with proper infomration (liek aconfirmation that this is my blokc) I might risk anupdate and manual disbale - I tried that to see if the block woudlclear on automatic update it didnt workbut with no information provided on the blockI have noidea if it shoudl have worked. [Incindetally,which idiot decided to switch off the WIndows spell check in ths dialog? Here I am in edge,with MS editor running and... As it happens my spelling is pretty good - but my typing is not (motor control) so I rely on underlines to spot the typos.]
requirements of Microsoft Flight Simulator made easy joke
This is a joke [I mean helpful tool] for anyone who can't understand systems requirements. FSX [2006] If you have a PC built since 2001 it will work. Recommended is even half a computer built since 2010. (just make sure its the side with the DVD drive.) MSFS [2020] Ask NASA to borrow their supercomputer. You should get a better framerate than any gaming PC. That is, 22FPS. Oh don't worry they have Windows 20 running on it. FS2002 All you need is a PC running Windows CPBWS [Windows for crappy potato based work stations] I took out half the Pentium processor and ripped out some of the RAM and Flight Simulator 2002 still works fine. Oh, and that PC was built in 2003. FS2004: Similar to FS2002 just make sure you have Windows CPBWS 64-bit edition if you want 60 FPS. FS98: This won't actually work on your shiny new desktop. Go to the garage and find the oldest computer you can [preferably a Windows DE (Dinosaur Edition) desktop.] and put the CD in. You should be able to run it. FS for Windows 95: This will work on Windows 95. And why not Windows 94? Or Windows BE [Bacteria edition, before multicellular life existed.] Any old PC will do, just make sure its not a 64 bit edition of Windows Dinosaur Edition, because that will screw it up.
