Windows 11 – Frequently Asked Questions

Posted on September 30, 2021 by William George

Windows 11 is the latest version of Microsoft’s consumer and professional operating system. Debuting in October 2021, it includes many user interface updates as well as various improvements under the hood. We’ve had a lot of questions from both new and existing customers about Windows 11, so we have compiled this FAQ to answer the most commonly asked queries.

AMD Threadripper 3990X: Does Windows 10 for Workstations speed up photogrammetry?

Posted on February 19, 2020 by William George

When AMD launched the 64-core Threadripper 3990X, some reviewers reported that performance of this 128-thread beast was hindered by running a normal version of Windows 10 Pro – and that instead using Windows 10 Pro for Workstations or Windows 10 Enterprise gave better results. We have investigated that claim using our in-house Pix4D and RealityCapture benchmarks to see if the choice of operating system could impact our customers.

We have investigated that claim using Cinebench and V-Ray benchmarks to see if the choice of operating system could impact our customers.

We’ve been hearing from a regular stream of customers who are making the move from Mac OS X to Windows, and they often have questions about how to perform basic tasks on their new Puget Systems PC running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1.

Important New Windows 8 Features

Posted on October 11, 2012 by Matt Bach

Windows 8 has a host of new features and improvements that are aimed to improve usability. Many of the larger and more important of these are already very well documented by either Microsoft or third party websites, but it is often difficult to locate the best articles. We researched the best articles for each important new Windows 8 features and grouped them in one place to help you find information on whichever feature interests you.

Navigating Windows 8 on a PC

Posted on August 2, 2012 by Matt Bach

The new Windows interface 8 is a major point of controversy at the moment, but whether you love it or hate it, there is certainly a learning curve. Since it was largely designed with touch interfaces in mind, there are a few navigation obstacles that come up when using a keyboard and mouse. In this guide, we will go over basic keyboard/mouse navigation as well as some of the more advanced features of the Metro interface.
