Можно ли безболезненно, т.е. сохраняя все имеющиеся файлы документов, установить вместо 7-й версии более позднюю? Если да, то какая наиболее надежная?

Keep document lists

How can I keep my document lists?

These disappear from my Start/Documents list and the list in each program (Word, Excel).

I have searched and searched and can't find this referenced.

Thank you.

Ethernet works only after deleting Network Adapter followed by Restarting PC

Everytime I start my PC Ethenet is not detected. I have to uninstal Network Adapter and Restart my PC.Then only Ethernet comes to life.
Why do I have to do these manoeuvres. I also have Auslogics Driver Updater but it's not of any help. Let me know how I can get Ethernet immediately after starting my PC.
Thanks

USB Dongle USE over XP to Win 7 and beyond...

Over the years many companies that produce amazing Engilneering Softwares that used USB or even parallel port security keys was done to provide security for the writer of this software agains those who would might pirate their software... I bought into this activity with many USB Dongles... Then several of these companies went out of business or where sold to larger companies... This caused a serious isues (Expensives) to the end customers like myself... To upgrade a few of them can cost several Hundred of Thousand of Dollars if these company maintained some form of these softwares... So I elected to maintained a special computer running XP (A Xeon Machine to gain higher speeds...) so I would not loose use of many of these wonderful softwares like SystemView just to name one... Or Eagleware and Spice softwares... I still have access to my OLD XP Machine...

Question: Use of older security keys on later operating systems like Window's 7 (Better because of Xp can run as a simution embedded) or Window's 10 can basically not be done because Microsoft chose to ignore these users of these security keys... So,,, is there any way to used older softwares such as the types I have suggested in such a way, that the locking security keys could still be used on later versions of Microsoft platforms using older software that used Software Keys... I use mostly USB types and jump out of the Parallel types do to that change...

Years ago I wrote to Microsoft about this action they did... But they ignore me....

Today I thought I might just ask to see if what I think is truc may have a solution I was not made aware of...

Thanks...

PS I like your software Auslogic BootSpeed 13... Plus a few of the others too... Great efforts in your software programming is appreciated...

Empty Folder Cleaner and Windows

Does the Empty Folders Cleaner differentiate which folders should and should not be deleted in the Windows OC? The tool identifies hundreds in my C drive, and I assume those in the Windows' System, Program Files, Windows32, etc. should NOT be deleted, but I can't tell.

Windows 11, PC Sleeps when it shouldn't

My W11 (Home edition) desktop PC has the following settings

'Power mode' set to 'Best performance' and

'When plugged in, put my device to sleep after' set to 'Never'.

Despite this, the PC goes to sleep after a few minutes of being idle, which in turn kills RDP sessions which I do not want to happen.

There must be other settings somewhere which are overriding the 'Never' setting. Please help me understand what they are and how to change them.

Thank you and best regards

Can not delete most recent Restore Point or any other point

Hi,
I've tried many methods to delete most recent Restore Point or any other point even via the cmd prompt *deleting shadow copies) and it doesn't work. I installed some software my IOBIT Uninstaller cannot find to uninstall and it is not in the list of Add/Remove programs but they are 368MB in size and installed in my pc and cannot llocate them. Only going back to my previous restore point would work and I try to do it but it does not work. PC boots up saying system restore failed most likely dur to active anti-virus software but I have my Bitdefender dissabled permanently when I did the restore point procedure.

Any ideas? Could Bootspeed interfere with restoring the pc at an earlier restore point?

Thanks,
Dimitris
