I agree, Windows 10 is a fine operating system.

But if you really hate to upgrade, why not use the Chrome Browser?

Sure, if you don't mind Microsoft virtually taking over your computer and only allowing you to do what they want you to do with it.

On top of that, it uses a gargantuan amount of resources, and 'calls home' to Redmond every few seconds to report your every keystroke and your browsing history.

Agreeing to their terms of service gives them permission to have full access to all of your files, and essentially puts them in complete control over your device.

No thank you!

I hate that Windows 10 cannot easily be modified. Even changing the font I want needs a 3rd party software and a restart of the pc. PLUS the following:

I have Windows 10 installed on a laptop and had decided to “upgrade” from version 1807 to the latest Windows 10 version 1909.
It was released on November 12, 2019.

Big mistake as the upgrade did not go well.
I had my ‘minnesota_bound’ profile folder but also ended up with a TEMP, TEMP.WINDOWS10, TEMP.WINDOWS10.000, TEMP.WINDOWS10.000.001 profile folders.

In the registry it show the user profile as: C:\Users\TEMP.WINDOWS10.000.001

I could not log into Windows.
Error message:
The User Profile Service service failed the sign-in.
User profile cannot be loaded

I logged in as the admin. If you do not have a Administrator option next to your own profile then do the following as it comes in handy to troubleshoot problems like this:
Next to the Start button, click on the search icon (magnifying icon, type in cmd and then right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator.
Copy this and press the Enter key. Works in Windows 7 and 10.

net user administrator /active:yes

After a few restarts I was able to log in under my profile and found 4 TEMP folders.
The fix was messy so I decided to do a clean install of Windows 10. I formatted the drive and installed.

I have Windows 7 installed on my desktop computer and will stay with Windows 7......!

Forbes: Warning Issued For Millions Of Microsoft Windows 10 Users [Updated]

Jan 5, 2020, 07:36am

"Windows 10 begins 2020 hoping to turn a page on a bug-ridden 2019. Problems ranged from frustrating to limiting, chaotic to simply bizarre and Microsoft was even hit by a whistle-blower exposing the reasons for the increase in instability. But now 2020 is off to a rocky start as well."

"Picked up by the ever-reliable Windows Latest, Microsoft’s Windows 10 November update is causing significant problems by breaking core elements of File Explorer. These include file search, file transfers and being, as one user described, 'generally all around terrible'. Windows Latest notes these bugs are 'widely reported'."
