A lot of alternatives since then.
Comparison of file managers

Personally ... there are 4 or 5 clearly in a league of their own, and I've downloaded NC (about an hour ago) and played around with it, and it's not one of them (which is NOT saying it's not good - an hour is hardly time enough to discover its full potential).

To be honest WinSCP is more than enough for my needs, and more.

I was forced to adopt W11 a bit more than a month ago and altogether it's not that bad. Feels like W10 with a couple slightly different menus, I've my taskbar on my left, everything works great.

I use Windows 10 LTSC. I didn't like how Windows 11 ran on my hardware.

I have a 2.60 GHz CPU and 16 GB of RAM, and my CPU is an AMD Ryzen 3. I know that Windows 11 had issues with AMD CPUs, so that might partially explain it.

Get rid of the AMZ CPU and replace it with a Proper/Genuine AMD CPU.
Imported/Copied/Fake CPU's are not worth the risk of frying your motherboard.

That was a typo. It’s an AMD CPU.

There are people still on XP, and so would I have been if I’d been aware of the removal of “record what you hear”, so that’s to be expected.

I still have an XP machine in the closet, I'll sell it for "one millllllllllion dollars". I keep it around because I was using a suite of image/video applications with proprietary source files that can't be opened by anything else. That software simply won't run on anything but XP, I even tried it with virtual XP. The software is now extinct so it's my only option to open them.

I've got an old laptop with XP: I've now decided it's for sale ;-)

Added: I also have an old PC running Win95: it's only slightly more expensive

Certainly a market for it. That software I have won't run properly because it utilizes the GPU. Other issues with older software are dependencies, I have copy of Quickbooks 2000 that requires "Microsoft Java Virtual Machine". Can be difficult to find but I have XP sp1 install disk that has it. I haven't opened those files in well over a decade but I can if I need too without going through the hassle of converting it.

I managed to get around my particular issue with a hardware/firmware solution. Fortunately I was still working so I had access to an EPROM blower. I’ve also got an un-used laptop I could clear out and install XP but I don’t compose any more so it’s hardly worth the effort.

I will say though, my experience of XP was generally good, the only real improvement that effects me with 10 & 11 is the way it can repair itself. Touching wood 10 & 11 have never bombed out on me. XP did a few times but I used a good backup and recovery program so a re-install was only a format away.
