GeneralWindows 11: I was close to tears Pin

It normally takes me 6 to 8 hours to do a clean install with all apps of any Windows system, but 11 caught me by surprise. No, it was not the fault of Windows that it took some 20 hours of blood sweat, tears and speaking in tongues. It was my inexperience with installation of two IDEs: IntelliJ Idea that I use for JavaFx projects and Android Studio that I use for Android Kotlin projects.

I also installed Visual Studio but since I have done VS dozens of times, it was a breeze. But I have only done IntelliJ once before. Same for Android Studio. Make no mistake, both these IDEs installed and ran like a breeze, until I tried to build and run some thirty little projects that I have done over time. That is when I got some error messages that took time, research and patience (not my strong suit) to figure out.

By the time I got everything to work, it was some two days and part of the nights gone! But the enormous sense of accomplishment made the long hours worth while! Smile | :)

And in the process I learnt a great deal about those two IDEs that will probably be very worth while in the future. Now I will take a strong coffee, thanks! Java | [Coffee]
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Were you affected by the geomagnetic storms this past weekend?
Communication disruptions, electrified pipes, random unexplained blue-screens in Windows - the list of effects is terrifying.
