OK, non-techie here so be gentle.
I had a laptop with Win 8.1 which I liked a lot until it died, so 2 years ago I bought a super-fast desktop with Win 10 and the Brave browser and I do like it, I only do email and read FR and other news with it, watch videos, etc.
I suppose just like when Win 10 went live in 2015 and was auto-installed with a MS update, Win 11 will automatically update Win 10 computers too?

Meaning they’ve moved beyond “Abort, Retry, Fail?”

Another upgrade to slower, less functional system that is harder to use.

Does this mean that my Windows 7 machine that still works fine will be even more out of date?

I hate W10; fortunately I have W7 on my laptop.

I loved Windows 7. Hated every program since.

Hmm I guess Microsoft has new and improved back doors and spyware of some sort they want installed on everyone’s computer.

I wonder if 'Ol Bill will have an app on Win 11 that tracks whether you've got the jab or not. 🤔
And if you don't it won't start.

One thing that bugs me is: when I close down the computer it says to close the programs that are preventing the computer from shutting down but never states what those programs are.

I’m terrified. I have Office 365 on my PC and they did an update that just stripped all the files off my PC and put the on OneDrive in some place where I can only find a few of them.
I think I made the mistake of permitting the update to manage Word files.
The lost files represent years and years of work. Some of it is on an external drive, but most of it is not. I back up to Carbonite so I hope I can recover some of the data but it is incredible that the update could do this.
When the update comes, don’t give them permission to do anything. Say no and wait. And back up to an external drive.

Do you have to show proof of vaccination to get it?
