Wondering if Win11 Home would be limiting vs Pro since Home doesn't have as many networking features and controls as Pro does.

Fairly easy to find out. Back that W11 up and install W10 on it. I vaguely recall W11 working shortly after I upgraded from W10 to W11 but I can't be sure.
I will do the backup then put 10 on it and see. It will take me a good while though. Thank you again. I'll be back here.

If I can get some time, I'll get my XR500 out of the box and see if I can check this. I have Win11 Pro 24H2 on my machines here.

Confession: Have not tested with W10 (time constraints). What I did do was install W11 HOME .... but from scratch. Unfortunately, no change. I felt strongly W11 might have HAD a botched install. Apparently not though.

Ya know, Sir. That would be terrific. I'm over loaded and though anxious to resolve this, ton of distractions right now. THANK YOU ..... at your convenience.- FURRYe38Apr 10, 2025Guru - Experienced User
Will give this a go this weekend. I too have lots of distractions as well. đ
I should have some time this weekend though.
