Hiya Everyone,

If you know me from the TenForums you know me as a Mini PC Maniac (sorta these days), a dude that tried to like Zorin Linux a year ago, and a person with an uncanny ability to not answer other questions correctly -- but I sure do try. For that reason I've backed off the Boards for fearing I was doing more harm than good.

But then Windows 11 happened and I'm like, well, I do have some questions. So I went to the 11 Board, signed up, and started asking questions. Making comments. Only like 1 or 2 of you ever answered. And I wasn't sure I recognized your names, but I figured, well -- maybe peeps were trying on some new Usernames and Avatars. Plus I figured maybe like nobody was really into trying Windows 11.

Then something occurred to me. What if I had signed up at a different 11 forum altogether? (EMBARRASSED.) That's a big YUP. I was at Windows 11 Forums which, although the Mod/Admin was a perfectly nice guy -- there didn't seem to be a lot of people.

So if anyone missed me -- here I am.

Hopefully you'll get better responses here :-).

Did you still have any additional questions that have gone unanswered so far?

We're all in the same boat here, but since I don't always see every post, feel free to tag me any time if you're not answered. I don't always have answers but am more than willing to get the conversation started which encourages others to join in. I think the other members feel the same.

You missed the point of my original post. I thought I was at this board but was actually at a less traffic'd 11 Board elsewhere.
