Still on Windows 10 (with a Windows 7 skin) – am I good to keep using it?
So I'm still running Windows 10, but I've got it customized to look and feel like Windows 7—start menu, theme, the whole deal. It's comfortable, it works, and I honestly just prefer the older UI. But with Windows 10 support ending next year, I'm starting to wonder—am I setting myself up for problems down the road? Security, compatibility, that kind of thing. I know I could switch to 11, but I'm not really excited about it. Just trying to figure out if I'm being reckless or if it's still fine to ride this out for a while longer. Anyone else in the same boat?
I made Windows 10 look like Vista
Yeah so I went down a rabbit hole and ended up turning my Windows 10 install into a full-on Windows Vista clone. Not just a skin—I'm talking icons, cursors, sounds, the whole UI package. Even the system info in Control Panel now says "Windows Vista" for some reason, which I didn't even expect. It's surprisingly complete and honestly kind of fun to use. Feels like stepping into a time machine. That said, I'm wondering if this is gonna bite me later. I know some mods dig pretty deep into system files, and I'm not sure how well this plays with updates or long-term stability. Anyone else done something like this? Any issues I should watch out for?External monitor works before Windows loads but disappears afterward

윈도우 7에서 윈도우10으로 무료 업그레이드후 노후환 된 메인보드를 교체를(동일 모델) 하였는데 정품인증이 안되고 있습니다. 더이상 어떻게 해야 할지 모르겠는와중 여기를 마이크로 소프트 지원팀에 채팅으로 대화하다 알게 되어서 글을 남깁니다. 현재 확인한 사항: 윈도우 버전 windows 10 pro (Retail), 마이크로 소프트 계정-> 장치 이전 pc 및 현재 pc 둘다 등록이 되어있는걸 확인 1. 설정-> 정품인증 -> 문제해결 = 해결 X 2. 설치ID를 통한 시도 해결 X I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 for free. Recently, I replaced my aging motherboard with the exact same model, but Windows is no longer activated. I was not sure what else I could do, and I learned about this community while chatting with Microsoft Support, so I decided to post here. Current information I have confirmed: - Windows version: Windows 10 Pro (Retail) - Microsoft account > Devices: Both my previous PC and my current PC are registered. Troubleshooting I have already tried: Settings > Activation > Troubleshoot: Did not resolve the issue. 2. Tried activation using the Installation ID provided by Microsoft Support: Did not resolve the issue. The Windows 7 product key I originally used is still available, but entering it in Windows 10 results in an activation error.

When you select a file and press F2 to enter rename mode, the cursor is positioned by default before the file extension, rather than at the beginning of the file name itself. You have to manually move the cursor to the beginning of the file name to edit the main part of the filename, which isn't very convenient.
