One thing I'd like to do is make the titlebar of every single app I open on my Windows 11 look like the Windows Vista titlebar. On XP, 7, and Vista, apps weren't able to have custom titlebars. Now they are, and it sucks.
Anyone know how to change it?
I have a laptop with one main partition with Windows 10 and a second partition that I want to install Windows Vista on for testing purposes. I'd prefer 64-bit but 32-bit is fine if necessary.

Hi! This is probably one of the most common questions in this forum, but could not find the answer, so sorry for that. I have inserted a new SSD into a ThinkPad laptop. I have the original Vista Product Key, but no media. Where can I download Vista so that I can boot the new SSD disk?

I am predicting this now: Windows 11 will be the worst Microsoft OS since Vista and 8, and it's all because of 11's stupid requirements.
Really Microsoft what the hell are you thinking, cutting off all processors made before 2017 all based on stupid requirements no one asked for.

Hello. I have an old hard drive that's not showing up in Win10. I've connected it to my laptop using a SATA to USB adapter, and it shows up in Disk Management, but not in Windows File Explorer. This HD has Windows Vista on it, but I'm just wanting to access the data/files. It was new in 2008...
