You own stock in Dell or something? When Microsoft advertises an operating system as universal, it should be universal. And for your information, most computer users out there have machines more than two years old.

Nope, have built every machine in my house since the mid-90’s, thank you very much. And because of that, I know that PC components fail due to age and use. Electrical currents running through diodes and transistors eventually cause trouble.

You on the other hand simply want to blame Microsoft for your woes of trying to run a 5+ year old machine (my guess considering the Core 2 Duo came out in late 2008-ish). Buy something newer!

Windows 10 is NOT universal, except as compared to Apple closed-loop systems. They rebuilt the Kernel (praise the Lord) and specifically to remove the bloat that long-term universality brings.

My guess is your motherboard finally gave up the ghost due to reboots during installation. Your warning to denizens of FR should be “hey, I have really old hardware and it failed, watch out”. Not, “screw MS”....
