Windows 10 - OUT NOW

do you think it will have better accessibility options you could use, Ironhide, or is Windows already pretty good for that?

The accessibility options in Win10 are actually fairly good, the onscreen keyboard is decent enough that I haven't bothered with a paid-for alternative and there's quite a few options for people with visual impairments.

The main thing I personally find lacking is there's no built in dwell clicking (hovering the mouse cursor for a few seconds triggers left/right click) settings which both Android and IOS apparently have. I currently use a 3rd party dwell clicker but would prefer it be a standard feature of Windows.

I just wish the stuff in windows 10 was where they should be, rather than me having to look for the sodding things.

Windows 7 was far more user friendly. Still, at least im not stuck with Windows 8, or ME.

Okay, so either i'm really dumb, or this version is just not user friendly.

Imported my photos/videos from my camera, and while they both happily belong in the same folder, on windows 7 i would open a photo and go through them one by one (and the viewer would skip the vid files), but now, on windows 10, it plays the video clips too.

Is there any way i can change it so it just shows photos in the photo gallery viewer thingy?

I think you can edit the file associations for some programs/apps so they ignore certain file types.

Not sure how to do it through.

Okay, cheers for that.

Finally found something which is more user friendly too; printer set ups!

Because this is an HP desktop (the printer is also HP), i checked the website to do the printer software download/install like i had to on windows 7, only to find the hp smart app for printer installation was already installed. Therefore, i opened the app, plugged in the printer, and around 20 seconds of auto setup later, it's up and running, huzzah!

With Windows 11 on the way and Microsoft seemingly wanting everything to work everywhere is there even a sliver of hope for windows 11 on the Series X consoles?

It's been such a long time since I've used a PC I'm completely out of date with the problems that may cause.

I can't think why you'd need to use Windows on an Xbox. The OS is already a modified version of Windows.

I'd like to shove Steam on my XSX .
I'd also like that PC feeling but I'm too cheap to buy a PC :shifty:
