windows operating system 11

So you got me started on Microsoft, no stopping me now.

Godaddy switched email from godaddys simple email layout to Windows 365 windows email thingie. Now all I get is a white screen. I’m thinking I now pay $40 a month for the privilege.

Googled email white screen. Tons of people have the problem. Seemed there is a 20 step “ fix” Microsoft suggests to solve the problem. One of the issues seems to be I’m not using Windows 11.

The computer has a 1 tb hard drive divided into two partitions one for Windows and programs, the other for data. Data drive is almost empty.

The windows partition is full and I can’t upgrade. I have very few programs “ apps”, those I added I need. There are lots of things I don’t need most say Microsoft in front of them and Microsoft won’t let me remove them.

My home computer wants me to upgrade, it is one of the first 64 bit machines it must be 15 yo. It’s just hanging by a thread, I’m in my second hard drive with it. I get the blue screen of death with it every so often, so upgrading seems very risky.

I really long for the Windows XP days. It was stable and did everything I need. I have a wide format scanner mfg won’t support it anymore. Uses Windows 7 only. On my second computer with it. When the one it’s using dies, I probably won’t be able to find a Window 7 computer at a pawn shop again.

Fatal Error out of Microsoft for the moment.

You can repartition your hard drive to give some of the unused space from your data drive to the program drive. It's easy and the tools are built into Win 10.

Details here.

Big thanks. I’ll probably mess it up.
