    Why can't I update to Windows 11, version 24?

    Thank you. I'll wait and see if it comes automatically (I do have immediate updates turned on) for the time being.

    Why can't I update to Windows 11, version 24?

    So I updated the BIOS, but after checking for Windows 11 updates, I'm still on version 23H2. I guess my laptop isn't eligible for 24 in spite of what HP says. Thank you for all your help!

    Why can't I update to Windows 11, version 24?

    I'm afraid that Bitlocker doesn't appear in my Control Panel/System and Security. Perhaps because I'm using the Family edition of Windows?

    Why can't I update to Windows 11, version 24?

    Hi again. I've tried all of your suggestions, except for doing an in-place installation. The HP site tells me that there is a BIOS update available for my laptop, but it fails to download using the HP tool, for an unknown reason. I am, though, able to download it to my desktop. I hesitate to...

    Windows 11 Jump easily to a file

    Hi. On my former Windows 10 system, I could open a folder and then type a letter (a,b...) to jump immediately to the first file or subfolder beginning with that letter.

    Windows 7 USB jump drives unusable with Windows7
