What? I didn't bring up a "this vs that" anything - unless you want to consider developers vs weenies and execs, or perhaps, the old Edge vs the...
You said, If instead, you will give it fair chance, then great. But for the record, even if you don't care to give it try, that's fine too. I...
Ads? Huh? That is not the browsers fault. Your choice and that's fine. I don't really care. The choice of browser is really just a personal...
It's not really a question any more. IE is not included in W11. So over the next few years, as W10 fades away and W11 assumes dominance in the...
This is totally true. But in this case (and no doubt others) the decisions and directions dictated by those "weenies and execs" often reflects...
That's normal. Windows.old is typically created during major updates and can be used to roll-back to the previous version should something go...
Ummm, no. It doesn't indicate that at all. It is likely all sorts of files were updated but those updates (actual file replacements being...

Every home router I have ever used allows the administrator to block (or allow) access to connected devices to specific times of the day. This is...
And if internal, try an external.
I hope that is all you need. The CPU must also support TPM. Mine does not. :( While official support for W10 is stated to end 4 years from now,...
As I noted elsewhere, this is not good. I sure hope, once all is done and over with we don't discover that this malware exploited a vulnerability...
Well, I'm not sure I can help then. A quick search did find some suggestions to try here but I have no personal experience with any. Make sure you...
How did you install it originally on this older computer? From a disk or download file? It seems to me you could use that same installation media...
Okay, so once again, the first option (just wait) seems to have worked. :) That said, I may have to change my standard recommendation of waiting...
:oops: Gee Whiz! How did I miss that? Yeah, while everything else said is still true, 32-bit is likely the primary limitation here.
