May I ask - why is anyone bothering to install Windows 11 on old hardware in the first place?
Old hardware is better for Linux. Either install Linux or you can get used to having your old hardware be used as a paperweight.
Or just... Stay on Windows 10? There's nothing wrong with it compared to Windows 11 (though Linux is usually a better choice).
Windows 10 sucks as well.
Like seriously, it freaks out when I try right clicking on anything on the left hand panel of Windows Explorer.
And I have to keep restarting periodically, just to use not only my internal disc drive but also my external too.
Windows 10 is just as garbage.
For all it's shortcomings this sounds more of something on your end and also something quirky that you will any OS really..
Not really.
So you think that what you have described above is something all Windows 10 users deal with?
Definitely really. Your's is not a widespread case. I have personally never seen the issue and I oversee a network almost exclusively made up of windows 10 machines. I have no love for W10, but this is a you thing.
You can't even prove that it's a me-thing. Goes to show how little you actually know. Get off your little armchair and try to demonstrate some level of knowledge.
You are the one claiming to have the issues. I'm saying I have never had them, and over the entire lifecycle of windows 10 and working on hundreds of computers, I have never seen or heard of anyone else having this issue. The proof that it's a you-thing is that you admitted to having those issues.
I'm not even sure what you mean by, "... and try to demonstrate some level of knowledge." I didn't present any information that requires more knowledge than being able to read my comment. My experiences, and based on other comments, other's experiences, and a cursory Google search show that yea, this is a you-thing and not a widespread Windows 10 thing.
Maybe if you yourself weren't so unknowledgeable, you'd have been able to fix your unique issues. It's a bad carpenter that blames his tools.
