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?
Windows Pingy
The tremendous learnings...?
Since W10 works/worked so good.
Here we go again. Prepare to suffer.
cloud based?
Does this mean that my Windows 7 machine that still works fine will be even more out of date?
Hmm I guess Microsoft has new and improved back doors and spyware of some sort they want installed on everyone’s computer.
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?
Bit of an exaggeration but I’ll go there anyway - Hey MS - No one cares!
F MS! I went Linux and never looked back.

Coincidentally, I was shopping for a Windows laptop earlier today. I want a Windows operating system so I can use Microsoft Office. I have a Windows desktop which I rarely use any more because I use my MacBook.
If anyone has a brand of laptop they like, please feel free to recommend. Right now, I’m leaning toward getting an ASUS.
This just reminds me to do my update of my Linux Mint Cinnamon.
My {sniffle} Win7 desktop {sniffle} bit the dust a couple of weeks ago. I decided to go with a Win10 replacement.
So far, the replacement (Win10) has been okay, but not great. I lost use of my flatbed scanner and Xerox color laser printer — no updates of drivers. [Had that happen in the move from XP to 7, a decade ago.]
I also have a Linux Mint laptop I use more and more.
From what I have read, Win11 has more cosmetic changes than operational changes.
[I still hate the ribbon menu bars in programs. Hate! Hate! Hate! them.]
I have been playing around with Virtual Box in hopes that I can get the scanner and printer working through them.
My Vista is still working so I will skip Windows 11
Thanks for the Windows warning.
I have 2 desktops running Win-7 Pro x64, just fine and dandy. I’ll stay with them, thankyouverymuch.
And no one cared.
