- Upgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11?
I have an active Windows 10 key on my system with Windows 10 installed and I keep getting prompt on startup to upgrade to Windows 11.
I have ignored these upgrades since I am not sure if I decided to upgrade to Windows 11, will my Windows 10 key no longer work for Windows 10 installation and only work for Windows 11 installations going forward once I upgrade?

- Windows 11 is getting built-in AI Super Resolution featurewww.neowin.net Windows 11 is getting built-in AI Super Resolution feature
Microsoft is working on integrating AI upscaler into its operating system. The recently released Windows 11 preview build lets you turn on "Automatic Super Resolution" to get more FPS in games.
The latest Windows 11 preview build contains several unannounced features that shed light on things that Microsoft plans to release later this year in the already confirmed Windows 11 version 24H2 (or in whatever comes after it). One of those features is AI upscaler or "super resolution," a familiar term for those with supported Nvidia, AMD, and Intel graphics cards.
After digging it out from the depths of Windows 11 build 26052, you will be able to turn on "Automatic Super Resolution" in Settings > Display > Graphics. The feature description says it can "use AI to make supported games play more smoothly with enhanced details." There is also a generic link to the Microsoft DirectX Developer Blog, which should be later replaced with one leading to the official documentation.

- [Solved] Question: How to move unmovable files when contig won't do it?
I'm trying to shrink my C: volume to allow for dual booting, but the built in utility is getting hung up on $BITMAP. It was originally having problems with another unmovable file $DATA, but after using contig that one was moved out of the way.
However, no matter what combination of contig options, safe mode, whatever I try, $BITMAP won't move. 200GB free, and I can only shrink the volume by 9GB because of it. :)
I'd prefer not to have to perform a complete reinstall.
Or it seems, I have to go about disabling bitlocker in order to allow a 3rd party tool to work on the partition... Last time I was messing with partitions was from before Secureoot and Bitlocker days. :)
- I hate how any change in GPO for windows 11 needs to be a registry hack for it to stick
So I set up my test lab with a domain controller and some clients and changing things in Windows 11 is just a complete nightmare. I see that they finally added the option to where you can ungroup icons on the task bar in this latest update but holy shit man it's been 2 years.. and we're barely getting basic functionality that's been in Windows 10 for 8 years now? How does a development team this size get lead so far astray from their target audience?
Don't even get me started on the Xbox bullshit that comes on a Windows pro machine used in a business environment. I'm getting fed up with windows more and more every day.
Also all these extra bullshit apps like Chat, Teams home. Why are they there ootb on a pro license?
