John covers both sides well at Message 35335358

I'll add I HATED W11 at first because it didn't let me have one click "toolbars" to get quickly to files or programs or web sites" based on the task name of the folder. I have some workarounds that eventually work just about as well but it still pisses me off.

Also, I like to keep my active files backed up on Google Cloud so I can access them via my phone but I do keep my much larger email, video and image files on One Drive with the 1 TB that comes with Office 365. This seemed to give Copilot problems but it can't seem to move files between applications with the time I allocated to it. It was happy to build stuff from scratch, but... anyway, I went to Gemini and Grok to get done what I needed, which really doesn't help with W11.

W11 had all sorts of trouble with my older printer and all those problems went away with a new printer. Can't blame windows for HP not wanting to support their older equipment that worked great and was better built than the new stuff, but I was happy to get their printer with the ink bottles to same money to pay for the printer over giving them $100 or $150 every year for ink.

Anyway, I think it works better with drivers in new programs and web sites and when things don't work, the call in help can be lost if you have really old gear and it is driver issues.
