  • As others have said, I use it mainly for the search function to start programs as well as many shortcuts. I’ve seen others mention screenshots and locking, but here are a few more:

    • Win+. - Opens the special symbols/emoji windows
    • Win+ left or right arrow - Snaps a window to the left or right half of the screen, respectively. Up arrow maximizes, down minimizes.
    • Win+r - Opens the run dialog
    • Win+v - Opens clipboard history (history is off by default, it will ask you to enable it the first time you use the shortcut)
    • Win+x - Opens the ‘quick link’ menu (Power Options, Event Viewer, System, Device Manager, Network Connections, Disk Management, Computer Management, and Command Prompts
    • As a bonus, my favorite windows shortcut is Ctrl+Win+Alt+Shift+L, which opens linkedin in in a new browser tab.

  • It’s solid. I use my framework with windows 11 every day, haven’t had any problems in terms of what you’re asking.

    Windows is plug and play with most general devices these days, as long as you’ve got an internet connection. The modules are just usb c devices, so they actually don’t need anything special afaik. They even work with other computers- the look on my friend’s face when i pulled out a usb a module for her to use on her macbook was priceless! The only difference from an external usb dongle is that these ones are designed to integrate nicely with the framework laptop body.

    As far as stuff like BIOS and basic hardware drivers go, they provide win 10/11 driver bundles for each Intel gen. I’m not seeing the Ryzen stuff there, but they may not have updated the page recently.
