Install Fonts by Dragging and Dropping Them

Halloween is coming and many of you will be looking for spooky Halloween fonts to spruce up your Halloween projects. Windows 10 and 11 make installing fonts easy.

Back in the old days, installing and viewing fonts in Windows was a daunting proposition, but no more. Windows 10 and 11 allow you to drag and drop fonts to install them.
