Don't use Windows? No good reason to use Microsoft as a consumer OS anymore. Alternatives exist. Corps only respond to money. Don't use or buy Microsoft or LG products. As long as you use MS the shitshow will continue. Complaining does nothing.

Enterprise or commercial products might still require MS.

Linux, Mac, BSD, Haiku, ReactOS are just a few operating systems that will work.

Free and "it just works" flavors or Linux are Fedora KDE and Mint. Haiku and ReactOS are still works in progress.
