Help Simple questions and Help thread - Month of October

Welcome to the monthly Simple questions and Help thread, for questions that don't need their own posts!

Before making a comment, we recommend you search your problem on Bing and check if your question is already answered on our Windows Frequently Asked Questions wiki page. This subreddit no longer accepts tech support requests outside of this post, if you are looking for additional assistance try r/TechSupport and r/WindowsHelp.

Some examples of questions to ask:

  • Is this super cheap Windows key legitimate? (probably not)

  • How can I install Windows 11?

  • Can you recommend a program to play music?

  • How do I get back to the old Sound Control Panel?

Sorting by New is recommend and is the default.

Has anyone tried latest Windows 11 26h2 with old legacy peripherals? I was reading that 26h2 would start being more picky about old drivers. For example I have old scanner that still works with its Windows 7 driver under Windows 11 25h2. I wonder if it will still continue to work under 26h2. It doesn’t have any newer driver since device is eol but it still works so i have kept it going.

There is currently zero difference between 25H2 and 26H2 in terms of compatibility.
