I’m nearly 100% migrated to Pop. MS gave lots of warning, but I still have a VM on 10 for a couple apps I rarely using including Office in case I absolutely need it. Hoping that Steam Console is real. For work, I am stuck dealing with 11. There are many things I hate about 11, but why is it so damned slow and laggy on a brand new Copilot PC? File explorer is like loading file lists with a 2400 bps modem, and Office apps take far too long to load. It’s absurd how bad it is, and I can’t figure out why. I’m getting old, I forget why I load an app before it loads…

The first app I grab for any Windows installation is Everything from VoidTools [0]. It is simply the best, fastest way to find anything on a Windows computer. If you know any part of the file name you are a few keystrokes away from locating it on any indexed disk that is connected. Since this is a work PC maybe you don't have the option but if that's the case you should talk to your IT nerd and get permission. Also, make a donation. Great software like Everything is worth buying. [0] https://www.voidtools.com/downloads/ https://www.voidtools.com/downloads/ I can't help with Office. Too bad you have to use Win11. Win7 Pro still works great for me when I need a Winbox.
