You will be shocked to learn that you can upgrade, for free, to Windows 12. It's called Linux.

I have windows 11 because it came with a new pc. The damn thing crashed so much it reminded me of bad windows from the old days. Don't get it YET if you don't have to.

Windows vista. Shudders

tried to upgrade, it knocked me back to w10 and broke my sound driver

The only reason I got a Win11 computer at work is that the new box came with Win11 preinstalled.

Most work is still done on an aging Win7 box and my Linux laptop.

I'm still on win10. Planning on hopping over this one Linux-based operating system for gaming specifically (can't remember its name) once the updates for Win10 run dry. I've heard so much bad stuff about 11 that I'm going to try again with Linux (years ago I jumped in Ubuntu since a friend recommended it but I needed to jump back because games didn't work well).

I mean, who wants to buy a brand-new computer to be able to run Windows 11 anyway? Besides,most folks aren't tech-savvy or care enough to go through the hoops just to install this dumpster fire of an OS.

[–] LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Microsoft's new OS has never been a concern of mine. I still have a windows XP, Vista, and windows 7 PC's. They all work fine but zero security updates of course. You don't need to upgrade your OS and most people will simply just keep windows 10 instead up buying a new computer.

I'm just going to setup dual boot with linux since i have some modding and custom software that only works on windows.

Windows 11 blue screens on my desktop on the very first boot right after installation.

I can't wait for what comes first. The claudication and predictable extended support or the wave of malware paralyzing half the world over unsecured devices.
