installing old XP drivers on Windows 10

Have an old printer that only has drivers for Windows XP, to install on Windows 10:


Windows 10 enforces driver signatures by default. This can be disabled to install drivers that are not digitally signed. Use the following steps to disable driver signature enforcement.
  1. Click the Start Start menu and select Settings.
  2. Click Update and Security.
  3. Click on Recovery.
  4. Click Restart now under Advanced Startup.
  5. Click Troubleshoot.
  6. Click Advanced options.
  7. Click Startup Settings.
  8. Click on Restart.
  9. On the Startup Settings screen press 7 or F7 to disable driver signature enforcement.
Your computer will restart and you will be able to install non-digitally signed drivers. If you restart your computer again the driver signature enforcement will be re-enabled.

file recovery software

Need to help patron retrieve files from damaged USB drive, this software worked well:



iBoysoft Data Recovery has a mixture of simple and advanced features combined into a clear and intuitive interface. The app is easy to use, even for novices. Let’s look at iBoysoft and the features it offers to make data recovery easy.

What Platforms Does iBoysoft Data Recovery Support?

iBoysoft is available for both Windows and Mac. Its list of supported operating systems is impressive:
  • Windows: Supports Windows XP, 7, 8, and 10. Also works with Windows Server 2003 to 2019.
  • Mac: Supports Mac OS X 10.7 Lion through macOS 10.15 Catalina.

Why Use iBoysoft Data Recovery?

When you launch the app for the first time, you’ll find that the user interface is straightforward. It displays a list of all your internal drives, plus external drives (if any). There’s no feature bloat or any preferences to worry about.
iBoysoft Data Recovery has two scanning modes. Quick scanning mode is time-saving and runs by default. Meanwhile, a deep scan runs a thorough search to find more recoverable files, but takes more time. Both scan methods allow for a pre-recovery preview of the documents and photos.

Recover Almost Any Type of Files

iBoysoft Data Recovery helps you recover deleted or lost files of any type, including documents, music, photos, and more from different devices. There’s also an option to recover only selected types of files.
Select your drive and click Next to start the scanning process. Preview the results, choose the files you want to get back, and click Recover.

Get Back Data From Any Storage Media

iBoysoft’s app can recover data from any storage media, including external hard drives, USB drives, and SD cards. You can increase the chance of recovery by acting quickly, in order to prevent the lost files from getting overwritten. Note that fusion drives and RAID drives are not supported.
In limited testing with USB drives, I was able to recover 90% of photos, after formatting the disk a few days prior. This illustrates that you can recover data from formatted, corrupted, and unreadable drives.

startup folder in Windows 10


Need to manually create startup for a program for all users in Windows 10:


The All Users Startup Folder is located at the following path:

C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp

The Current User Startup Folder is located here:
C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

With either location open in File Explorer, you can drag and drop application shortcuts to configure these applications to launch when the current user or all users log in. You don’t need any particular permissions to drag application shortcuts into your own user-level Startup Folder, but you’ll need admin rights and face a UAC prompt when adding items to the All Users Startup Folder.
