I quite like the "signing in on install" part of Windows 10. Activation is taken care of, my xbox game pass works fine etc. It's also "cleaner" in that on the occasions I've set up a local account and then ended up signing into my Microsoft account to get access to my paid for games I end up with …

I personally like the Windows 10 choice of making a local account "I don't have an internet connection" or signing into a MS account "connect to wifi". I use the local account when I am rebuilding computers to give away / sell. The MS account sign in is nice because it links the activation to your …

As we know a version of Windows 11 has been leaked. For all the tech gurus, I believe you have visited the core elements of the OS. I like the new UI design elements with the Start button in the center and also the backward compatibility hasn't been cut much(haven't checked 16-bit emulation). The …

The same problem exists in the GOG release still. DxWnd with the preset for the game provided in the 'exports' folder just works. Also if the game crashes on startup, I would recommend to use Win98 compatibility mode.
