You can download and install it for free, but after some time (3 days, IIRC), it will start requesting that you authenticate it with a license code, and after 30 days it will start shutting down after being on for a while.
If you have a valid Windows 7 license code, you used to be able to register with that. I don't know if that is still possible, but it is worth trying. Otherwise, you can buy a license (after installation) from the Microsoft site. Prices vary by country.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Windows 10 requires:
Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC
RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit
Hard disk space: 16 GB for 32-bit OS or 20 GB for 64-bit OS
Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
Display: 800 x 600

I think my new system far exceeds these minimum specs.

*plays Nevermind*
I just got GFX working on a Wio Terminal which is a 32-bit Atmel system, which is an entirely different architecture than an ESP32. I *think* it also works on my STM32 boards but I'm having issues wiring those to test. (I hate the Nucleo boards). It works on PC too, albeit slowly because DirectX and GFX work entirely differently, but for prototyping it's fine - and the drawing library itself is fine on PC, it's the DirectX driver I wrote that's slow. Still, it works.
Anyway, it's starting to get to the point where I need to find things it *won't* run on, and that's a good problem to have.
That and at least on some platforms it can take advantage of native performance features.
GFX is my first serious attempt at writing massively cross platform code, because it's the first time I've really needed to target more than even a few platforms. I'm happy with the result.
Sometimes I think my 30+ years of experience carries me to where I can branch out into areas I haven't treaded before and find my footing. It's nice.

I was trying to find something still in the "butterfly" realm -- and was completely "cocooned"! Never had a chance. (Not that I usually have a clue anyway...)

...and my google-fu is failing: I find lots of stuff, like monday.com, etc., for businesses, but I want something simpler, preferably free / low cost, that is more local community oriented.
Any suggestions?

I use Google calendar, and it has facilities for event sharing AFAIK.
|
|
|
|
|
True, I use it too(we have a google account connected to our school account)
That is one of the few things Google has not failed with surprisingly...

Wow, these all so complicated. I just want a website that brings up a calendar, lets you change the month, add and event at a particular date/time and, if it's your event remove it. Minimal login to allow you to delete/update your own events, and an admin login to manage events because even in this day and age some people don't use computers.
How hard can it be to make something simple? Do I have to write this myself?

I feel another quality article coming about a brand new low-code calendar framework

Just thinking evil thoughts: just use WordPress!!! Simply change the date of the post to reflect the date of the event and let WP sort them automatically! I haven't tested it, but I don't think WP gives a crap about things being future dated.

WordPress will allow any date be entered as a post date. On my winemaking site I have notes going back to 1981 -- I set the post date to the date a batch started, and as you said, WordPress sorts the posts sequentially.

I'm a bit surprised that it's so hard to find, Marc. Back when I was attempting to figure out C++ with MFC, I was looking for the same thing and never located it. I tried writing my own, but that was a complete disaster. I wonder if there's something in the Wordpress Plug-in world that will do the job?

I'll third Google Calendar: I use it because it spreads across all my devices (so I can add a dentist appointment on my phone as I leave and know it'll turn up on my desktop.
And it has group facilities as I found out when a pair of reminders I added yesterday started going off on Herself's tablet by mistake ...

Has anyone created a "neighborhood" on NextDoor[^] for your neighborhood? They have event scheduling, and its free.
