Sounds nice, but how are paid Linux distros possible? Linux is GPL iirc. Yes, Linux is GPL, but the developers of Zorin OS decided to make it voluntary to pay for Pro,just so that they can get support. In return, we can get more features such as new macOS, Windows 11, Windows 2000 and Ubuntu-like d...

The only other issue that I think needs fixing is with Classic/Open Shell. Opening a libraries folder shows the folder in This PC when it shouldn't be there. This is what I mean https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/863745978485309491/892044469837385728/ScreenShot_20210927084537.png Oh, that. I re...

Hello folks, recently I replaced the dualboot of Windows Vista and 7 on my laptop with Zorin Linux 16 Core. (For the Windows Vista and 7 fans here, I don't hate them, but I decided to replace them with something that could be better, and an Ubuntu-based Linux distro was the first thing that came to ...

A freshly installed copy of Zorin OS on my laptop: Zorin desktop.png Edit: Since Zorin OS 16 has many desktop layouts, I took screenshots of the desktop customised to look like OSes like Windows Vista, Windows 11, macOS, Debian and Ubuntu. Screenshot from 2021-11-07 19-21-04.png Screenshot from 2021...

You might have gotten a poor replacement battery. Is the battery life reflective of the wear level? Not really, I see little difference. The battery used to last for about 3 hours on light use, but now it lasts for 20 to 30 minutes less, but video calls suck juice from the battery very fast. I wond...

Hello all, recently I replaced my laptop(Dell Latitude e5420)'s battery, but of late, the battery wear level has increased quite a bit. Initially at 2.3%, it subsequently increased to 8.1, 19.7 and 31.4% and now is at a shocking 38%, but on the BIOS information page, the battery status shows as &quo...

Install OldNewExplorer and follow these instructions: Check ''Use classic drive grouping in This PC'', ''Show libraries, hide folders from This PC'', All options under ''Use command bar instead of Ribbon'' except for ''Use alternate navigation buttons style'', and ''Show details pane on the bottom'...

OldNewExplorer has some bugs, I wonder when/if they will be fixed, or if there's any working alternatives. Some bugs are libraries not showing up in the save file dialog but folders in This PC still are hidden making saving to documents or downloads convoluted, and another bug is folders sometimes ...

Hello Eclipse! Now I am here with a pack to help transform Windows 8.1 into Windows 8 Consumer Preview. The instructions are as follows: Firstly, install the theme patch. The app, after installation, may ask for your permission to reboot. Reboot the computer. Then, install Aero Glass. Now, install t...

Classic theme for Windows 8 or 8.1: https://www.deviantart.com/kizo2703/art/Windows-classic-theme-for-Windows-8-RTM-8-1-10-325642288 The same instructions as described above can be used to make Windows 8 and above look like a classic-themed Windows 7. The only difference is that of the theme. I can'...

I agree with what @Heckraising said, Windows 11 is both better and worse than Windows 10. M$ has made it much tougher and more time consuming to access a basic setting that was easily accessible on Windows Vista - 8.1. M$ needn't have done that. I won't be using Windows 11 on my main PC until the ti...

Hello Eclipse! It's been quite a long time since I was last online! Now I am here with a pack to help transform Windows 8.1 into Windows 7. The instructions are as follows: Firstly, install the theme patch. The app, after installation, may ask for your permission to reboot. Reboot the computer. Then...

Finally got Windows 11 Pro installed on a VM and also on my secondary laptop. First impressions? IMO, It's both better and worse than Win10. Better because it 's many times faster than Win10 and has somewhat good-looking transparency effects and animations and that it is quite easier to debloat than...

Hello all, I recently replaced the battery on my laptop (Dell Latitude e5420), but found that on every cold boot, the date and time resets to sometime in September 2015, requiring a reset always. This does not happen on reboots though. Is there a solution to this problem?

If anybody can list additions or modifications to this pack, you are most welcome. Once you have finished the transformation, post your modified Win8 desktop screenshots here!! Is there a version of this for Windows 8.1? Themes designed for Windows 8 do not work in 8.1 (probably due to the version ...

I tried installing Win11 Pro N on VMware WS 12, but after restarting twice, the VM boots into the VHD, shows the bootscreen, displays 'Just a moment...' on the screen and then the display goes blank. Nothing happens after that.

Windows XP x64 and 7 x64 respectively on my main laptop:

Hello all, on my Vista Ultimate SP2 x64 install, on every logon, the Windows Media Center Scheduler Service and Media Center Tray Applet processes start up. I don't want them to run on every startup but I am not finding a way to disable them from running automatically, even after disabling all Media...

@Win10-Hater

??

Can anyone tell me how to download Office 2010 build 4006? Downloading from this link (https://archive.org/download/com.microsoft.office.14.0.4006.1000/Office%2014.0.4006.1000%20TP.iso) gave me a dead ISO with a non-working setup.exe that says that "This program is not compatible with x86(32 bi...

You need to install the Remote NDIS driver in order to get USB tethering working: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4o0HezwLvz-ZHBLZ0tzLVVydVE/view . It should work on XP x64. Did not work. I tried installing the inf file through right-click method and via Device Manager, but USB tethering still is...

If you're not a gamer, an Ivy Bridge Thinkpad would be a good investment. I'd go with any of the Sandy/Ivy Bridge Thinkpads/Dell Latitudes/HP Elitebooks or Probooks if buying a good laptop for use with Vista/XP. I don't game much (but will try a few rounds of Minecraft later) but do virtualization ...

What phone, exactly...?

A Redmi 4. I'm not rich enough to own any Apple mobile device, though I don't consider having one really great, lol.

Hello all, I have dualbooted the Windows Vista install on my main laptop (Dell e5420) with Windows XP Pro x64 with Vista installed first. I repaired the bootloader and was going to install drivers for the hardware via Driver Booster, so I connected my phone to the laptop via USB tethering. The phone...

Windoze 10.

I actually didn't know we had OT boxes in this forum. Mind you, which update level are you at? March 2021, but it was the same story with all updates upto December 2019 installed. Edit : The same issue has been reported here on MSFN, which has be corrected by the poster, but I dunno how it was reso...

I just can't get myself to fully remove 10 from my life. I got myself to remove the Windows 10 abomination from my life and I will never touch it again, either of my own free will or involuntarily. I never thought this would be possible until late last year though. Windows 10 is nothing but bad, so...

So I'm moving that Precison system to 2012 R2, and I suddenly felt something. When I opened the start menu, it had GPU drivers so I saw the fluent of 10. Honestly, in my opinion, I kind of prefer the more intense blur on 1803+. It suddenly made me feel something. How useful is LTSC 2019? If its not...

If you boost 7's marketshare, developers will support it for longer. 7000 and 4000 series could work on 7 if we show them that 7 is still a decent platform. 7 is definitely still a decent platform, but I don't know how 1-100 people switching to 7 would be enough to change the marketshare, when w7 s...

I have found out that Office 2010 SP2 (via MS Update) also won't install, tho SP1 installs normally.
