How to Clean Install Windows 11

Considering an upgrade to Windows 11? You can upgrade directly through Windows 10, but you might prefer a clean Windows 11 install to start with a fresh OS. Or you might want to install Windows 11 on a different device entirely. Whatever your reasons, it's easy to install Windows 11.


🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷


Why 16GB of RAM Is the New Standard for Windows PCs

Microsoft wants to bump up the baseline for RAM in PCs. But are its claims legitimate, or is it a ploy to sell more hardware?

Windows 11: Release date, price, and everything that's new

Since its original release, Windows 11 itself has seen a fair number of changes, with big updates like version 22H2 and version 23H2. It's an always-evolving operating system, and that means it's a good idea to keep up with what's being added over time.


🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

Windows 11 will soon no longer boot on PCs that are too old to boot it anyway

PCs with very old CPUs are going to be in for a rough time this fall when the next version of Windows 11 rolls around, as version 24H2 will be the first to no longer boot on CPUs without the POPCNT (population count) instruction.  This means PCs that are over 15 years old and couldn't officially run Windows 11 before now definitely won't be able to.


🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷

The iTunes app in Windows 11 has been replaced with four new apps that’ll make life a whole lot easier for iPhone users with Windows PCs

The iTunes for Windows app has just received a sweeping overhaul. The app has now been split into four different entities: an iCloud app, Apple Music, Apple TV and a new Devices app. These new apps offer a refreshed onboarding and set-up experience, aesthetic improvements and a more intuitive syncing process that’ll make downloading your iCloud content to your PC much easier.

Windows 11 is losing Mail and Calendar apps - so you'll have to use Outlook whether you like it or not

Microsoft has set a date to remove the Mail and Calendar applications at the end of the year from Windows 11, as well as dropping the apps from the Microsoft store. The company will also stop putting out updates or support once the year is out. So, if you haven’t moved over to Outlook, you’ve got until December 31, 2024 to do so.

Android 14's flash notifications are great for accessibility — but that's not all

How To Reset Your Windows 11 Network Settings (And Why You Might Need To)

Networking issues have long been the bane of PC users, and they're right up there with printer problems in how annoying they can be.   A lesser-known trick is resetting your Windows networking settings.

This used to take a little work, but with Windows 11, Microsoft has finally made it relatively easy. If your Windows PC is steadfastly refusing to connect to your network, a reset may be just what you need to get back online.

Introducing a big update to Windows 11 making the everyday easier including bringing the new AI-powered Bing to the taskbar

In the last three weeks, we also launched the new AI-powered Bing into preview for more than 1 million people in 169 countries, and expanded the new Bing to the Bing and Edge mobile apps as well as introduced it into Skype. It is a new era in Search, Chat and Creation and with the new Bing and Edge you now have your own copilot for the web.

  • The feature is rolling out to Edge Canary users over the coming weeks and can be enabled through the Edge Settings page.

Okay, so ChatGPT just debugged my code. For real.

Not only can ChatGPT write code, it can read code. On one hand, that's very helpful. On the other hand, that's truly terrifying.

How to create a password that can't be quickly cracked by an AI "password guesser"

You might think that your online passwords are strong enough to prevent attackers from breaking into your apps, stealing your money, and hijacking your Amazon and eBay accounts. But thanks to AI, your industrial strength password might not be as hacker-proof as you thought.
