I forced myself to run Windows 11, and to be honest, I don’t miss much about Windows 10

Windows 10 reached the end of its support, prompting an upgrade to Windows 11. Windows 11 is faster, with performance improvements claimed to be up to 2.3 times quicker than Windows 10, particularly on modern hardware. Boot times improved from 40 seconds to under 20 seconds. Battery life enhancements are reported, especially for modern devices. The Microsoft Store has been redesigned for a better user experience, allowing app uninstallation directly from the Store. The Start menu and Taskbar have been redesigned, with a more organized layout that enhances usability. The new context menu includes dedicated icons for frequently used functions. The classic Control Panel is missed, as its functionality has largely moved to the Settings app, which some find less simple. Overall, the upgrade to Windows 11 is considered worthwhile despite some areas needing refinement.

Microsoft Warns October 2025 Updates May Trigger BitLocker Recovery on Some Windows Systems

Microsoft has acknowledged an issue affecting Windows 11 versions 24H2 and 25H2, as well as Windows 10 version 22H2, where users of specific Intel-based devices encounter unexpected BitLocker recovery screens after installing updates released on or after October 14, 2025. This problem is linked to devices with Connected Standby technology, which affects the startup process but does not indicate a continuous encryption issue. Entering the recovery key resolves the prompt, and subsequent boots do not trigger additional prompts. Microsoft has activated a Known Issue Rollback (KIR) to address the issue without requiring users to uninstall previous patches. Server editions of Windows are unaffected, and users are advised to monitor the Windows Release Health dashboard for updates.

Yes, You Can Run Windows 95 In Your Browser, And It’s Glorious

A developer has created a browser-based version of the Windows 95 operating system, allowing users to experience it without installation. Windows 95 originally required at least 4 MB of RAM, a 386DX processor, and 50-55 MB of free hard drive space, with recommended specifications of 8 MB of RAM and a 486 processor. The browser version enables users to install software packages, including classic games like Zork and utilities like Norton Utilities 2.0. Users can interact with the interface, simulate floppy disk insertion, and explore files through a familiar layout. The experience may have bugs and limitations but offers a nostalgic engagement with early personal computing.

Veteran Windows insider creates Windows 7 install measuring just 69MB in size — system boots, but has been pruned so severely ‘virtually nothing can run’ for now

A bootable version of Windows 7 has been created that occupies 69MB of disk space, developed by Xeno, a Windows Insider. This version requires users to provide their own system files for basic functionality and is described as a "fun proof of concept" rather than a fully functional operating system. The installer is a 7zip compressed file of 40.4MB hosted on Archive.org, containing a compact VMware virtual disk and configuration file. The current version has limited functionality due to missing critical files, but Xeno has received encouragement to refine it into a more usable version. There is potential for further optimization, as many included files may be unnecessary.

How to get double jump in The Outer Worlds 2

In The Outer Worlds 2, players can acquire the double jump ability by obtaining a unique pair of boots called P.A.L.E. These boots are hidden within the side quest "For Whom The Bridge Tolls," which requires players to seek out Ida Rutledge in the Spire Grove on the first planet. Players must reach the top of a hill to witness a body falling from above, which introduces new NPCs and leads to another side quest titled "A Final Death For Gravity." By looting the body, players can obtain the P.A.L.E. boots, allowing them to double jump without needing to equip the boots; they simply press the jump button a second time to access higher areas.
