As you probably know, Windows 11 has been out for a while now and it’s quickly gaining traction in the marketplace.
But here’s a little secret…
Windows 10 is still very much alive and well.
Q&A: Can you switch back to Windows 10 after installing Windows 11?
Question from Melanie: For some time now Windows Update has been prompting me to update my PC from Windows 10 to Windows 11.
I’ve been putting this off because I’ve heard that lots of people who switch to Windows 11 end up hating it but they’re stuck with it because you can’t go back to Windows 10.
I was talking to a friend about this and she said that’s not true because you can actually go back to Windows 10 if you end up not liking Windows 11.
At this point I don’t know what to believe. I’d like to give Windows 11 a try but only if I’ll have the option to revert back to Windows 10 if I end up not liking it.

If this irritates you as well, it’s easy to coax Windows into running any program as Administrator by default. Just follow these simple steps: [Read more…]
Q&A: How can I make my PC’s text cursor easier to see?
Question from Oliver: I just replaced my old desktop computer with a brand new Dell laptop with Windows 11.
I like the new computer ok, but I’m having one problem that I hope you can help me solve.
Whenever I’m typing something into Notepad (and I use Notepad a LOT), I have a hard time seeing the text cursor.
Sadly, my eyes just aren’t what they used to be. I guess that just goes with the territory when you’re in your 70’s. [Read more…]
