Wanting to try Windows 11

I’m a Mac user and I prefer MacOS over Windows. I still have my Sager NP8690 with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 which I use once every four months. I run a Windows 10 VM on my MacBook using Parallels for work about twice a month. I also use my Lenovo work computer from time to time for remote support at work. I am curious about trying Windows 11 and comparing it to Windows 7 and 10.

Not that I plan on covering from MacOS. I like to try out different operating systems to see what’s new. Each OS has their strong points. I prefer MacOS over Windows.

How to Enable Num Lock

I have an Apple Magic Keyboard with Numeric Keypad and needed to use this keyboard with my Windows 10 work computer. The keyboard works well with Windows 10 except for the numeric keypad. Pressing the keys will display anything on the screen.

What to do?

Just press the Clear key and start using the numeric keypad. Windows will remember the numeric keypad after a reboot.

Browser Tryouts

Based on Google Chrome engine, Microsoft releases the new Microsoft Edge web browser.

I installed the new Microsoft Edge on my work computer with Windows 10. You know someone in the company will install it and then need some help when something does not go well. So far the new browser is running well including the Chrome extensions I need.

I’m not sure if I want or need another web browser on my Macbook Pro. Safari is my preferred browser and I use Google Chrome for some specific work or Boy Scout related web sites.
