Would like to point out that you need a Windows product key. Make sure you have one.

Someone has created a custom version of Windows XP called Windows Lunix 2013. This is not a typo, this is exactly how it is spelled. It appears to have a lot of themes from a bunch of different operating systems and also includes your typical third party apps. Though nowadays it's hard to find a ver...

Has anyone ever heard of the group TeamOS? They make custom versions of Windows XP, 7, 8.1 and 10. They created versions of Windows like Windows XP Neomax Edition and Windows 7 Poison Edition. They have some regular plane activated versions of Windows as well, but their main focus is unofficial Wind...

Moving to this new settings application could be a huge disaster or it could be good, depending on how micro...

For one more thing, based on the readable content, looks like the site link may have been changed, or the site is just pestered ...

Personally, the only thing that bothered me about Windows 8 was the confusing UI designed for tablets. Once I installed a few softwares I found it to be usable reasonably (shoutout to the developers of Classic Shell) and I don't even use Modern UI Apps. 8.1 improved 8's control with direct ability t...

This has something to do with VMWare, or the version of Windows you are running as your host operating system. Windows 8 hosts with VMWare 12 had this problem majorly, but no longer with Windows 10 1903 and VMWare 15.5. However, there's a new catch, this problem now happens in WIndows Vista, and is ...
