                Photo Import Wizard

                The Problem

                Since Windows XP, a simple wizard for importing photos has been integrated with the OS. This was called the *Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard* in Windows XP. The interface was streamlined in Windows Vista, and that import wizard has been integrated into Windows through at least Windows 10. It's a really useful tool, as it makes it efficient and easy to import photos from a digital camera and name them

                I like to hack at things and customize my desktop environment. Windows still has a lot of customizability, although some things have been relegated to the registry with no UI access to the settings.

              Windows 10 was released as the successor to 8.1. It is currently supported by Microsoft, but it has been superseded by Windows 11, which I don't use.

            Windows 7 is officially unsupported by Microsoft. Use at your own risk.

            That said, Microsoft Security Essentials still works, as well as PC Matic, which i haven't used, but has a lot of positive reviews.

            Even though Microsoft no longer supports the OneDrive client for Windows 7, you can still connect to your OneDrive quite easily via

            At work, we use Microsoft SQL Server 2005. The client software requires Windows authentication to connect to a database. However, the credentials are pulled from your logged in Windows account. If you’re not on Purdue’s domain, you can’t connect. While putting my workstation on the domain wasn’t an issue, I prefer using my local user account on my laptop.windows index

            I still primarily use Windows 10. I've used Windows 11 and have been disappointed with it to the degree that I don't run it on any of my own machines.

            I'll keep using Windows 10 as long as I can. I do a lot of hobby work in graphic design and CAD, and the software I use is, unfortunately, unavailable on Linux.windows index

            Ever since Windows XP, consumer Windows has been built on a foundation that has remained consistent through every subsequent major release of the OS. Windows 11 has changed quite a bit under the hood, and since I don't use Windows 11 myself, I can't assume that anything in this section will work on any version after windows index

          I use a lot of Microsoft products. I worked there for seven years, and still use Windows-only stuff often. I even still use Windows 10 Mobile as my phone.

        I'm an equal opportunity OS user - I use and am familiar with Windows, OS X (and MacOS), and Linux.

        I haven't really used any version of MacOS since Mojave, because I still use 32-bit Mac applications. I use numerous Windows products, although I haven't yet subjected myself to the abomination that is Windows 11. I run servers on both os index
