14. My experience with W10 has been similar. It's as buggy on my device as W95 was 29 years ago

I'm told by M$ that my device will not run W11. That means I'd have to buy a new device.

If M$ really wanted me to spend $$ for a device that will run W11, then they should have done a better job with 10. My regard for them has never been lower.

I will revert my device to W7 and turn it into an isolated workstation. I do most net stuff on my phone or Chromebook now. Microsoft is gonna lose a lot of people after they stop supporting 10.
