Sysinternals Suite
If you ever wanted to download all the troubleshooting applications from Sysinternals at once you can do so by downloading the Sysinternals suite right from the Microsoft website. The suite contains all troubleshooting applications that Sysinternals has released in the past. The collection includes 67 utilities in total at the moment which help you troubleshoot the Windows operating system, manage it in many different ways or to display information about the system that you could not otherwise access.. This suite is not for you if you already have most of the utilities installed or stored on your system.
Some of the applications that are included in the Sysinternals suite should be installed on every computer. This includes Rootkit Revealer, Autoruns, Process Explorer and Regmon to name just four of the programs. This collection may confuse inexperienced users due to the sheer amount of exectuable files that are listed in the main directory. It may be difficult to find out what some of the executables are doing, do you know for instance what psfile.exe does?
A readme file or help file explaining the functionality of the programs would have been nice. While some programs come with help files, other programs do not, which means that you may need to either visit the Sysinternals website to look up information about programs you are interested in, or use a search engine for that instead.
Update: The latest version of Sysinternals Suite has a size of 13.3 Megabytes. The collection still contains all programs that have been developed and released by Sysinternals in the past. All you need to do is to download the zip file and unpack it on your system to start using the applications right away.
Some applications ship with Windows Help files that explain the program's core functionality. Other programs are still listed without information. The website linked above that contains the download, links to all programs included in the application bundle. You can either access those there, or download the web pages that contain the information to the directory you have stored the files in.
To do so open one, multiple or all of the program pages on the Sysinternals website and right-click each page there to select the Save As option from the context menu. Doing so adds HTML files to your system that you can load locally whenever you need to look up information about specific programs included in the bundle.
This collection is ideal for a troubleshooting CD or stick that you carry around whenever to have it ready whenever you need it.
An alternative to that is Sysinternals Live, which lets you run all Sysinternals applications directly from the web.

What mental age of reader are you targeting with the first sentence? 10?
Why not write an article on how to *avoid* upgrading from W10 to W11. Analogous to those like me who avoided upgrading from 7 to 10 for as long as possible.
If your paymaster Microsoft permits it, of course.
5. Rufus
6. Ventoy
PS. I hate reading these “SEO optimized” articles.
I used Rufus to create an installer for a 6th gen intel i5 that had MBR. It upgraded using Setup. No issues except for Win 11 always prompting me to replace my local account. Still using Win 10 Pro on all my other PCs to avoid the bullying.
bit pointless to upgrade for the sake of upgrading as you never know when you’ll get locked out because ms might suddenly not provide updates to unsupported systems.
ps…. time travelling?

Anyone willing to downgrade to this awful OS must like inflicting themselves with harm.
I have become convinced now that anybody who has no qualms with using Windows 11/10 must fit into one of the following brackets:
1) Too young to remember a time before W10 and W11 (doesn’t know better)
2) Wants to play the latest games on their PC above anything else (or deeply needs some software which already dropped W7 support)
3) Doesn’t know too much about how computers work, worried that they’d be absolutely lost and in trouble without the “”latest security””
4) Microsoft apologist that tries to justify that the latest “features” and “changes” are actually a good thing, that improve Windows
5) Uses their computer to do a bare minimum of like 3 different things, browse web, check emails, etc, so really doesn’t fuss
Obviously that doesn’t cover everyone, there’s also the category that:
6) Actually liked W7 more than 10, and held out as long as possible before switching, begrudgingly uses 10 now
Have I missed any group off this list?
You have missed in this group just about any professional user that uses business software like CAD programs or ERP Programs which are 99% of all professional users from this list.
Linux doesn’t help anyone who is not a linux kid and apple is just a fancy facebook machine.
Microsoft has removed KB5029351 update
only from windows update though
KB5029351 is still available from the ms update catalog site
1. This update is labaled as PREVIEW if it causes issues to unintelligent people, then they shouldn’t have allowed Preview updates ot install.
2. I have installed it in a 11 years old computer, and no problems at all.
3. Making a big drama over a bluescreen for an updated labeled as preview is ridiculous.
This is probably another BS internet drama where people ran programs and scripts that modified the registry until they broke Windows, just for removing stuff that they weren’t even using just for the sake of it.
Maybe people should stop playing geeks and actually either use Windows 10 or Windows 11, but don’t try to modify things just for the sake of it.
Sometimes removing or stopping things (like defender is a perfect example) only need intelligence, not scripts or 3rd party programs that might mess with windows.
Windows 11 was a pointless release, it was just created because some of the Windows team wanted to boost sales with some sort of new and improved Windows 10. Instead, Microsoft cannot support one version well let alone two.
Windows 11 is the worst ugly shame by Microsoft ever. They should release with every new W11 version a complete free version of Starallback inside just to make this sh** OS functionally again.
motherboard maker MSI has recently released a statement regarding the “unsupported processor” blue screen error for their boards using Intel 600/700 series chipsets & to avoid the KB5029351 Win11 update:

Neowin – Microsoft puts little blame on its Windows update after UNSUPPORTED PROCESSOR BSOD bug:

While there may be changes or updates to the Windows 10 Store for Business and Education in the future, it is premature to conclude that it will be discontinued based solely on rumors.
My advice, I left win 15 years ago. Now I’m a happy linux user (linuxmint) but there is Centos, Fedora, Ubuntu depending on your needs.
