Use Logitech M215 wireless mouse with Windows 11 [SOLVED]

Leave a comment

Recently I setup an old Logitech (now logi) M215 wireless mouse with my Windows 11 laptop. The process was not as straightforward as I expected because I needed to sync/pair my mouse with a new unifying receiver.

Oldschool throwback below! This was my primary workstation during law school. This was when I was really expanding my business (working during law school) and setting the foundation for future growth. It was setup on a huge work table with dual monitors and I accomplished a lot on this system. 👍👍 Tech notes: RAM was upgraded after receipt of system. SSD was eventually added as well but the Raptor was a pretty fast HDD for back then. This was a

Here are photos showing how to remove a broken jigsaw blade from the DeWalt battery powered jigsaw. I had to to this after a blade broke off.
